St. John’s soccer loses a heartbreaker on the road against Clemson to open the Fall 2021 Season

The St. John’s soccer program went into historic Riggs Field on Thursday night with the tough task of trying to get a result against the No. 6 Clemson Tigers.

Clemson has been a perennial soccer powerhouse in the ACC and fresh off of a season in which they were the No.1 overall seed in this spring’s NCAA Tournament.

The Red Storm are trying to recapture its 2019 form where the Johnnies finished with 14 wins and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament after a disappointing spring marred by inconsistency, injuries, and COVID-19.
