No. 2 Clemson Welcomes No. 5 Stanford to Historic Riggs Field Friday

CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson men’s soccer (1-0-1) returns to Historic Riggs Field on Friday, welcoming Stanford (3-1-0) to Clemson for the Cardinal’s first ACC match in school history. The match is set to be broadcast on ACCNX with a 7:00 p.m. start time.

The Tigers are coming off a 2-2 draw against in-state rival South Carolina last Friday. Misei Yoshizawa and Alex Meinhard each netted a goal to even the score against the Gamecocks. Yoshizawa and Meinhard have both scored at least one goal in each of the Tigers’ games so far this season. 

Stanford is coming off a 4-1 win over Saint Mary’s. The Cardinal has already played four games at home to open the season and makes the trek east for its first match as a member of the ACC. Last season, Clemson and Stanford met in the NCAA Tournament Round of 8, with the Tigers taking the 2-0 victory to advance to the College Cup.

Clemson men’s soccer has tasked fans with “Operation 6K”, looking to host 6,000 fans inside Historic Riggs Field on Friday evening. Additionally, Clemson’s annual First Friday parade is being held before the game, beginning at 6:00 pm. 

Road closures for all intersections along highway 93 will start at 5:30. The procession will begin at 6:00 pm at the intersection of Highway 93 and Cherry Road. Spectator parking is available in the C-3 Lot (IPTAY Lot 5) on the west side of Memorial Stadium, as well as in downtown Clemson.
