The Clemson offense started to find holes in the Chanticleers’ defense in the second half, scoring five goals on 20 shots. Mariana Speckmaier (52’,53’), Julie Mackin (57’), Jackson Moehler (61’), and Dani Antieau (67’) all scored goals in the second half. Renee Guuion also recorded three assists for the Tigers tonight.

McLaughlin started her first collegiate game for the Tigers, posting her first career shutout. The freshman faced no shots as Clemson controlled 73 percent of possession during the match.
