Women to Host Clemson Thursday Night
COLUMBIA, SC – South Carolina women’s soccer (RV/#25)* will take on Clemson (25/11) at home in Stone Stadium on Thursday, Sept. 5 at 6:00 p.m. looking for a point in the coveted Palmetto Series presented by the South Carolina Education Lottery. The game will be live on ESPNU.
LAST TIME OUT
The Gamecocks return to Columbia after a trip to Ohio, coming back with two ties including against the No.16 Buckeyes of Ohio State (Aug. 29). In the final five minutes of play against OSU, sophomore Cuyler Zulauf scored her first collegiate goal to grab the 1-1 equalizer for South Carolina and keep the Buckeyes from the win. Junior keeper Tina Tsaousis had a huge game, tallying a career-high seven saves.
South Carolina then faced Miami (Oh) on Sunday (Sept. 1), recording their first clean sheet of the season after a 0-0 draw with the RedHawks.
SCOUTING THE TIGERS
South Carolina and Clemson will face off for the 31st time in program history, having played each other yearly since the Gamecocks’ inaugural season in 1995. The Tigers hold a 16-11-3 advantage, but the teams have tied in the last two matchups. The Gamecocks, however, lead in Palmetto Series matchups, 3-1-2.
The pair last faced off on the road at Clemson (Aug. 17), ending in a 0-0 draw. The Tigers head into the match 4-1-0, most recently defeating Campbell 3-1. Sophomore transfer Christian Brathwaite scored her first goal of the season while freshman Kendall Bodak netted her second of the year. The third goal came from a Campbell own-goal at the 32-minute mark.
