Liberty to Face No. 4 Clemson Tuesday

LYNCHBURG, Va. – The Liberty Flames will play their final non-conference game of the regular season Tuesday. The Flames will travel to Clemson, S.C., for a match against the No. 4 ranked and 2023 National Champion Clemson Tigers at Historic Riggs Field. Match time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Flames (2-2-1) return to the pitch since falling at James Madison 2-0 on Sept. 14. Liberty's match against Presbyterian was canceled due to inclement weather last Wednesday.
