Virginia falls to fierce Tiger team

On a breezy Saturday at Klockner Stadium, the No. 16 Virginia women's soccer team fell to the Clemson Tigers, 1-0, in a defensive battle that was Virginia's first time opening the ACC season at home since 1994. In the middle of a four-game home stand and coming off an 8-1 drubbing of the Temple Owls, Virginia (5-3-1, 0-1 ACC) was looking to keep things going against the Tigers, but never could get their offense synchronized. "The offense is off kilter," Virginia Coach Steve Swanson said.
