Clemson Men's Soccer to the Final Four

At the risk of taking this blog to far from its original intent to be one about my cochlear implant experiences, I can't help but find myself posting about Clemson athletics!

I had the pleasure of seeing the Clemson men's soccer team make history against Creighton at Historic Riggs Field. It was an extremely cold night, yet Riggs Field saw its second largest attendance in its storied history, regardless. After three straight shutouts in the NCAA soccer tourney, the Tiger's needed a fourth victory to make it to the final four. They got it tonight against Creighton!

Both teams were scoreless until just under final minute, when a Creighton penalty gave the Tigers a free kick just outside the box. A Nathan Sturgis cross connected with Charlie Roberts with 39 seconds left to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead.

Suffice it to say, the Tigers are now only two wins away from winning the National Championship.

Go Tigers!
