Clemson Women’s Soccer Returns to Action Against Campbell in Palmetto Series Opener

A free‑admission match at Historic Riggs Field will feature key returnees and recent accolades for the Tigers

Clemson's women's soccer team is set to open its 2026 campaign against the Campbell Fighting Camels on August 23, kicking off at 1 p.m. on Historic Riggs Field in Clemson, South Carolina.

Historic Riggs Field Sets the Stage

The game will be open to the public at no cost, and families can enjoy a pregame carnival that adds a festive atmosphere to the early‑season showdown.

The Tigers and Camels last met in 2024, when Clemson secured a 3‑1 victory, with Juju Harris contributing three shots, two on target, in that contest.

Seniors Dani Davis and Jenna Tobia are back in the lineup after missing significant time; Davis, who has started 40 of 41 career appearances, returns fully fit, while Tobia, a 2023 College Cup starter, resumes her role after a year‑long absence.

Both players were integral to the 2023 championship run and have logged 39 and 40 starts respectively over their collegiate careers, bringing veteran presence to a young squad.

Goalkeeping Excellence Recognized

Nona Reason earned ACC Co‑Goalkeeper of the Week honors for the 2026 season after posting two shutouts and eight saves in the opening week, a performance that marks the first such accolade for a Clemson keeper since Makenna Morris captured the award in October 2023.

Reason’s early‑season form, highlighted by a 100 % save percentage in week one, has already positioned her among the conference’s top defenders as the Tigers look to build momentum.
