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.
