As mentioned previously, the Tigers have been moving toward the head of the class in men’s soccer. After beating the #1 ranked Maryland team last Friday, the Tigers walloped Wofford 6-0 at Historic Riggs field on Tuesday night. Tonight brings another home game against another top-5 team, North Carolina.

And here’s more about that Maryland game from ESPNSoccerNet:

No. 2 Clemson (6-0-0), off to its best start in 23 years, could just as easily be No. 1. Last weekend, the Tigers beat top-ranked, defending national champs Maryland in both teams’ ACC opener (in front of an overflow Historic Riggs Field crowd of 6,821, the largest since Clemson won the 1987 national championship on its home turf). What’s more is they did it playing with 10 men for most of the second half.

Now if someone can get the memo to the football team, this could shape up to be a pretty good fall.
