Clemson men’s soccer coach Mike Noonan kept his team looking forward all year, guiding them through the pitfalls and trials of a pandemic and a season that was far from normal, and it all paid off Sunday.
Behind goals from Mohamed Seye and James Brighton, No. 2 Clemson won its 15th ACC Championship on Sunday, 2-1, against the nation’s No. 1-ranked team, the Pittsburgh Panthers. The win marked Noonan’s second title of his tenure at Clemson and gave the Tigers their fourth ACC Tournament championship, second-most among current members of the conference and first since 2014.
Noonan said everyone involved in the program made the sacrifices necessary to win a championship.
