Panthers Knocked Out of ACC Tournament

CLEMSON, S.C. – The 25^th-ranked University of Pittsburgh men's soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to top-seeded and ranked Clemson Wednesday night at Historic Riggs Field in the semifinal round of the ACC Championship.

With the loss, the Panthers move to 9-7-2 overall, while Clemson improves to 16-1-1. Pitt drops out of the ACC Tournament and the Tigers will face Virginia in the championship game Sunday, Nov. 17.

Clemson controlled the majority of the first half, finishing with an advantage in shots (10-4) and corners (6-2). The Panthers bounced back in the second half, finishing with more chances (9-6) and corners (6-3), but weren't able to find the back of the net.

Clemson struck in the 44^th minute off the foot of Mohamed Seye. Off a free kick, the Tigers sent a long pass into the box on the left side, which was touched over to Seye who got it past senior keeper Arie Ammann.

Six different Panthers registered shots on goal, but all were saved by the Clemson keeper.

Pitt will now wait to see if they will advance to the NCAA Tournament Monday, Nov. 18 on Selection Monday.
