History

1990s

The Clemson women's soccer team was founded in 1994. The program enjoyed early success under its first coach Tracey Leone. The team tied for second place in the Atlantic Coast Conference during this period and made the NCAA tournament in every year. The Tigers also reached the ACC tournament final twice during this period. The team's best finish was a quarterfinals appearance in 1998. In 1999, Tracey Leone was replaced as head coach by Ray Leone.

2000s

The team's good fortunes continued in the 2000s finishing no lower than third in the ACC in the first four seasons. Ray Leone left as Head Coach in 2000 and was replaced by Todd Bramble. [2] The team could not quite match the success of the early 2000s, never finishing above fourth in the ACC between 2004 and 2010. The Tigers continued to make the NCAA tournament. They made the tournament every season under Bramble. Their best result was the Quarterfinals in 2008. In 2008, Bramble left as coach and was replaced with Hershey Strosberg. [3] The team took a sharp decline under Strosberg, finishing tenth or below in the ACC in each of his three seasons in charge. The team failed to make the NCAA tournament in those three years, ending a streak of 14 consecutive appearances.

2010s

Strosberg was fired in 2010 and replaced with Eddie Radwanski. [4] Radwanski's teams improved in each of their first three seasons but could not finish above tenth in the ACC and failed to make the NCAA tournament. A six win improvement from 2013 to 2014 saw the Tigers finish fifth in the ACC and return to the NCAA tournament. The Tigers have made the NCAA tournament during the next two seasons and recorded double digit wins from 2014 to 2019. The team advanced farther in each NCAA tournament appearance during 2014–16, including a Sweet 16 trip in 2016, their first trip to the Sweet 16 since 2001. The Tigers could not repeat the feat in the last three years of the decade, making the Second Round twice (2017 and 2019), but falling there in each year.

Hazing Lawsuit

In 2014, a lawsuit was brought against Clemson University, Clemson University administrators, three women's soccer team coaches, and 16 women's soccer team players by Haley Hunt. Hunt was a member of the team from 2011 to 2013. The lawsuit claims that Hunt was subjected to hazing during her time with the team and the hazing caused significant physical harm. [5] As of 2016, Hunt has settled with all but one of the defendants named in the case. [6]

2020s

The decade started with a season shortened by the COVID-19 pandemic. The team played a non-conference schedule in the spring of 2021 and played a shortened eight game conference schedule. The team finished fourth in the ACC with a 5–3–0 record, but could not advance past the first round of the ACC Tournament. However, the NCAA Tournament in the spring proved to be a high-water mark for the team. They advanced to the Quarterfinals for the first time since 2006 before losing to Santa Clara. In a more normal regular season in 2021, Clemson went 12–7–1 and 6–3–1 in ACC play. They made the Semifinals of the ACC Tournament but were unable to advance past the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. In 2021, Clemson posted a 8–5–5 overall record and 4–3–3 record in ACC play. They finished in 7th place, which broke a streak of four-straight ACC Tournament qualifications. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament but lost again in the First Round. The 8 total wins and 4 ACC wins were their lowest totals since 2013. 2023 was one of the better years in program history as the Tigers finished 18–4–4 overall and 7–2–1 in ACC play. Their seven ACC wins tied their highest ever total with 2015 and 2016. They finished as Runners Up in the ACC Tournament for the first time since 2002. They advanced to their first College Cup in program history where they lost to Florida State.
