The 2018 Clemson Tigers women's soccer team represented Clemson University during the 2018 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Tigers were led by head coach Ed Radwanski, in his eighth season. Home games were played at Riggs Field. This was the team's 25th season playing organized soccer. All of those seasons were played in the Atlantic Coast Conference.[1]
Previous season
The 2017 Clemson women's soccer team finished the season with a 10–5–3 overall record and a 3–4–3 ACC record. The Tigers failed to make the ACC Tournament, finishing 9th in the conference.
