Clemson United is on the road to take on No. 10 NC State, aiming to continue its undefeated run in the ACC.
After a tough run of results in September, the Tigers have been out of the United Coaches Poll for several weeks. However, recent form may indicate that they are set to turn their season around.
Currently on a three-game winning streak, Clemson is coming off a 1-0 home victory against Elon, with a last-minute header from centerback Lukas Magnason. The Tigers hold a record of 3-0-1 in the ACC and are tied for third in points.
A win against the Wolfpack would send the Tigers to the top of the table, surpassing No. 1 Stanford.
NC State has won all seven of its out-of-conference matches, but has not been able to replicate the form in the conference, holding a 1-1-2 record. The Wolfpack will be hungry for a win, and notably leading the line is top scorer Donovan Phillip. The junior has scored 14 goals across 11 games.
Head coach Mike Noonan is no stranger to scouting and producing stardom of his own. In 10 games played, midfielder Ransford Gyan has registered eight goals and seven assists. The sophomore is tied for eighth and fifth in the nation, respectively.
Fans and neutrals alike will be eager to witness two of the most dangerous players in college soccer face off. Kickoff is set to take place on Friday at 7 p.m., with broadcast on the ACC Network.
