The 2024 Clemson Tigers men's soccer team will represent Clemson University during the 2024 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. They will be led by head coach Mike Noonan, in his fifteenth season. They will play their home games at Riggs Field. This will be the team's 64th season playing organized men's college soccer and their 37th playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. They will enter the season as defending national champions after defeating Notre Dame in the NCAA Final.
Previous season
[edit]The Tigers finished the ACC season with a 9–3–3 overall record and a 4–2–2 ACC record. They were the fourth overall seed in the ACC Tournament. They defeated fifth seed Duke in penalties in the Quarterfinals and ninth seed Louisville in the Semifinals to reach the Final. There they faced off against seventh seed North Carolina. The match finished 1–1 and Clemson prevailed in another penalty shootout to win their fifth ACC tournament title.[1] The tournament victory earned Clemson the ACC's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. There they were selected as the ninth overall seed. They defeated Charlotte in the second round, eighth seed New Hampshire in the third round, and sixteenth seed Stanford in the Quarterfinals to reach the College Cup. A victory over fifth seed West Virginia saw them reach the national title match against fellow ACC foe Notre Dame. Clemson went on to avenge their regular season loss to Notre Dame and win the title 2–1. The goal allowed in the title match was the only goal allowed by Clemson in the NCAA Tournament. The national title was the fourth in program history and second for head coach Mike Noonan. It was Clemson's second title in three years following their 2021 title.[2]
