How it Happened
Clemson broke the scoreless tie when Makenna Morris scored from outside the box in the sixth minute. The Tigers added a second goal from Hal Hershfelt in the 17th minute, kicking the ball into the far left corner.
Tech closed the gap to 2-1 when Taylor Price scored her seventh goal of the season in the 25th minute. The 2-1 score held to the finish, with zero goals in the second half.
