Nov 9, 2023, 9:15 PM

CLEMSON, S.C. – After securing one of the four top-seeds in the NCAA Tournament bracket, the No. 7 Clemson Tigers are set to host Radford in the first round of the College Cup on Friday, November 10 at Historic Riggs Field. Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. and the match will be streamed on ACCNX.

Tickets for the match can be found here. There is free admission for all Clemson students with a valid Clemson ID and for children two and under. General admission will be $8 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.

The Tigers enter the tournament as a No. 1 seed alongside Florida State, BYU and UCLA. This is Clemson's highest seeding since the 2000 team earned the No. 3 overall seed in the previous bracket format, which included 48 teams.

This will mark the first time that these two teams will have played against one another as both groups will look to secure their path to the 2023 College Cup. The winner of the match will advance to the second round of the tournament and take on the victor of the Columbia vs. Rutgers match.

they see what kinds of crowds the men's team pulls

Re: Clemson to host Radford in 1st round of NCAA Tournament

there's really no reason for the women to have smaller crowds. It's not a case of what's more popular like in college basketball because college soccer isn't big at all, men's or women's.

In fact you could argue the women's college game is bigger just because it has more relevance to the pros and national teams (Like UNC women having English nationals for example) than men's college soccer.

And historically our men's team is stronger but this year our women are higher ranked. Lots of people who go to Riggs for the games are casual soccer fans anyway, so the "level of play" shouldn't be a big determiner either.

We have shown we can get big crowds for softball. Jervey can get packed for volleyball sometimes, even when our volleyball team is struggling, so we should certainly be able to pack Riggs for our soccer women in their tournament games.

If we host sweet 16 vs UGA and then the elite 8, it should absolutely be full stands.
