Furman Set To Host Clemson In Wednesday Upstate Soccer Showdown

Box Score

Greenville, S.C. – The Furman men's soccer team returns to Stone Stadium on Wednesday looking to extend its  run of recent success against upstate rival Clemson when the Tigers visit the Furman University campus for a 7 p.m. match.

The Paladins followed up a 2-1 victory over Clemson at Stone Stadium in 2008 with a 1-0 triumph over the Tigers at Historic Riggs Field last season.  Wednesday's match marks the 51st all-time meeting between Furman and Clemson with the Tigers holding a 38-9-3 series advantage.

Furman enters the match at 4-2-0 after splitting a pair of games at this past weekend's Nike/Aaron Olitsky Memorial Classic in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.  After falling to Lehigh 1-0 on Friday, freshman Michael Channel netted two goals in just his second collegiate match to guide Furman to a 2-1 victory over Bucknell on Sunday afternoon.  Paladins Nicky MacKain and Jacob Brown each earned all-tournament honors at the 10th annual classic.

Clemson is 0-3-1 on the season following a draw against Atlantic Coast Conference rival Virginia Tech this past weekend.

Tickets for Wednesday's match at $4 for adults and #2 for children ages 4-16.  Furman students get free admission with their Furman Student ID.
