October 19, 2023 | Men's Soccer
SETTING THE SCENE
• BC plays No. 15 Clemson on Friday night in its final ACC road game of the regular season
• Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at Historic Riggs Field live on ACC Network
• Friday will be the 23rd all-time matchup between the two schools
KLEIN TIME
• Redshirt junior keeper Brennan Klein enters the weekend ranked second in the ACC in save percentage (.795) and third in saves per game (2.92)
• Klein is tied for fifth in the league in shutouts with four clean sheets in 12 appearances
• The Arizona native is also third in the ACC with a 0.76 goals against average
• He is coming off a five-save performance against Stonehill on Tuesday, tying a season-high
UNDERCLASS IMPACT
• The Eagles' roster consists of 20 combined underclassmen, including 11 freshmen
• Boston College's underclassmen have played two-thirds of the team's total minutes this season (67%) and more than three-quarters of the non-goalie field minutes (76%)
• BC's top three players in minutes played – CJ Williams, Ted Cargill and Moritz Gundelach are all underclassmen and have combined for more than 3,400 minutes
• Sophomore Augustine Boadi and junior Jonathan Murphy are tied for the squad lead in goals with three each, while freshman Xavier O'Neil has a team-high three assists
SCOUTING THE TIGERS
• Clemson moved up this week from No. 21 to No. 15 in the NCAA rankings
• The Tigers earned a point with a 1-1 tie at Syracuse last Sunday after shutting out Louisville 4-0 at home the previous Friday
• Clemson has out-scored its opponents 35-12, including a 21-7 edge in the second half
• Ousmane Sylla (4-6-14) and Nathan Richmond (4-5-13) lead the team in scoring on the season while Alex Meinhard has also chipped in four goals
• Joseph Andema has started 13 of 15 games in net with a 0.96 goals against average
SERIES HISTORY
• Boston College is 4-13-5 against the Tigers entering the 23rd all-time meeting
• Last season, BC opened ACC play against Clemson at home and suffered a 2-1 defeat
• The loss snapped a 12-match unbeaten streak (8-0-4) at home, which dated back to a 3-2 loss to top-ranked Clemson on March 27, 2021
• The Eagles fell 3-0 on the road to the Tigers during the 2021 season in South Carolina
• BC's last win in the series was a 3-2 home victory in September of 2018
