Despite graduating seven starters, the Tigers and Head Coach Mike Noonan are confident they will not see a drop off in performance, as there is a budding sense in the soccer facility that this team has what it takes to keep Clemson on the peak of the mountain. https://twitter.com/ClemsonMSoccer/status/1554571063727558657?s=20&t=RudzZ4o75AF90eOJvm67tQ “From a starting standpoint, these seniors are ready to go,” began Noonan. The team boasts six seniors including captains Alvaro Gomez and Isaiah Reid. “They’re more than ready and they’re more than capable…you look at Mohamed Seye coming off a major injury…excited for him, excited for Trevor Manion, Enrique Montana, guys who have played their roles but now are teaching the culture to younge

Clemson will then take on seven non-conference foes, hosting Texas A&M, Campbell and App State while traveling to Western Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina and West Virginia.

CLEMSON, S.C. Head Coach Mike Noonan and Clemson's men's soccer staff, consisting of Phil Jones, Camilo Rodriguez and Rob Thompson were named the 2021 NCAA Division I men's coaching staff of the year, United Soccer Coaches announced on Friday. This marks the second time Clemson's staff has earned the recognition, the first coming in 2015. Noonan led the Tigers to a 16-5-2 finish and the program's third National Championship, as well as its third-straight ACC Atlantic Division title. All this success came despite losing three first-team All-ACC players last spring to the MLS Draft, a tremendous testament to the staff's work this season.
CLEMSON, S.C. The Clemson men’s soccer team (13-5, 5-3 ACC) is set to face Denver (10-3-5, 4-1-1 Summit League) on Sunday, November 21 at 7 p.m. This will be the Tiger’s 34th all-time NCAA Tournament appearance as they were selected as the No. 8 seed with a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the round of 32 and 16. This will be head Coach Mike Noonan’s eighth tournament berth in the past nine seasons. The Tigers are 55-28-6 all-time in the NCAA tournament and have reached the championship four times, earning national titles in 1987 and 1984. Clemson and Denver are meeting for just the second time in the programs’ history. The last time the Tigers faced the Denver Pioneers was in the NCAA quarterfinals of the 2016 postseason tournament where No. 3 Clemson fell 0-1 to No. 4 Denver at Historic Riggs Field. This past season the Tigers were led in goals by Isaiah Reid, (7) scoring three goals in just his first two games of the year. Both Luis Felipe Fernandez-Salvad
Hailing from Roswell, Georgia, Charlie Asensio has been a staple of Clemson’s back line throughout his four years in Tigertown. Clemson fans have gotten accustomed to his familiar smiling face commanding the left side of the field, both defensively and in the counterattack. For Charlie, playing at Clemson was an experience that was a long time in the making. Since he was little, he would make the two-hour trip to watch Head Coach Mike Noonan coach athletes who were twice his age. Charlie even has a photo with the Tigers’ manager from well before he even began high school. “I actually went to a good bit of games with my buddies from club soccer when I was 10 or 11,” said Clemson’s steady left back. “10 years ago, I was a little kid that was coming here wanting autographs.” Now, as one of the key members of Clemson United, he gets the chance to pay that experience forward. Following Clemson’s 2-0 loss to Notre Dame, Charlie met a young soccer player by the name of Mack Th
