BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – The Gardner-Webb women's soccer team faced off against ACC foe Clemson University at Greene-Harbison Stadium on Sunday night. The Tigers took home a 4-0 win over the 'Dogs at the end of regulation.
 
"I was happy with our effort, Clemson is a quality team," said head coach Mike Varga. "We came out with a plan and I thought we executed it well throughout the match.

I thought we made them uncomfortable at times.  I really appreciate Clemson coming to play us at our place, the atmosphere was a lot of fun tonight."
