The Clemson men’s soccer team handled business Saturday as it defeated NC State, 3-0, in the last game of the regular season.
“The clean sheet has been a long time coming,” Clemson head coach Mike Noonan said. “We talked before the game in training about having our best defensive performance we’ve had all year and I think Johnny played well, the whole back five were terrific.”
It was the Tigers who opened up scoring on senior day as Kimarni Smith scored a lob to the left side of the net at the 23:18 mark. After a high lofted ball by Patrick Bunk-Andersen, Smith found room behind the NC State defense and was able to give Clemson the 1-0 lead.
