No. 10 Duke and Clemson Meet in Key ACC Match
10/17/2025 9:15:00 AM | Men's Soccer
CLEMSON, S.C. - The 10th-ranked Duke men's soccer team travels to Clemson on Friday night, for a nationally-broadcast ACC match between two teams near the top of the conference table. The Blue Devils (7-0-5, 3-0-2 ACC) and Tigers (6-3-2, 3-1-1 ACC) are separated by just one point for two of the top four spots in the league, as the regular-season conference slate winds down. First touch is scheduled for 8 p.m., on ACC Network, with Joe Malfa and Devon Kerr on the call.
Friday night marks just the second regular-season match between the two teams in the last five overall meetings, and the Blue Devils will have played at Clemson in four of the last five regular-season matchups between the two teams. Duke trails in the overall series, 27-31-6, with the most recent matchup ending in a 3-3 draw during the 2023 ACC Quarterfinals.
The Blue Devils are one of just eight teams remaining without a loss on their ledger this season. Through 12 games, Duke holds a 7-0-5 record, good for a .792 winning percentage, which is tied for fifth best among all unbeaten teams remaining in the country.Â
