Clemson wins title in men’s soccer
Isaiah Reid scored twice, including a goal 27 seconds into the match, and Clemson defeated Washington 2-0 to win the NCAA College Cup championship in Cary, N.C.
It was Clemson’s third national championship. The Tigers also won in 1984 and 1987.
“I think it’s going to take days and weeks to set in, but it’s unbelievable. It’s euphoric. I mean, it makes everything worth it,” Clemson goalkeeper George Marks said.
Washington goalkeeper Sam Fowler was caught out of position and Reid, a junior, easily scored his first moments into the match. He scored again on a header in the 15th minute.
