CLEMSON, S.C. – The No. 9 Clemson Tigers wrapped up their non-conference slate with a 1-1 draw against Georgia, as they ended the first half of the 2023 season unbeaten. Sophomore Emma Wennar earned the lone goal for the Tigers and goalkeeper Halle Mackiewicz picked up two saves. “It was a good game tonight, it was good to face a little bit of adversity on the road and see what kind of response we get.
