CLEMSON, S.C. -- Sara Burkett scored the winning goal with 12 minutes remaining in lifting 14th-ranked Clemson to a 2-1 win over Florida State in a women's Atlantic Coast Conference soccer match at Riggs Field Friday night.

The Lady Tigers are ranked 14th in both the NSCAA and Soccer America polls.
Florida State kept a 1-0 lead in the first 75 minutes of the match. The Seminoles' goal was ruled an own goal as a Clemson defender failed to clear a ball and knocked it into the Lady Tiger goal at the 25:33 mark.
Clemson's Jennifer Crawford tied the score with 75:57 elasped. Crawford gained control of the ball in traffic and drove to the center and sent an eight-yard shot to the right center of the net. This was Crawford's sixth goal of the year.
