•Clemson’s 2-1 win over #1 ranked Pittsburgh today was the school’s  10^th  win over the #1 team in men’s soccer history. It was the program’s second win over #1 this year, as the Tigers defeated #1 Wake Forest  back on Oct. 13, 2020.  It is first Clemson program to have two wins over #1 in same year since baseball team beat #1 Florida State team three times in 2012.
