TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama women's soccer team concluded its final game of the 2020-21 season on Saturday, April 3, at Historic Riggs Field in Clemson, S.C. The Tide fell, 1-0, to the No. 8 Clemson Tigers in overtime after a hard-fought match between the two squads.

In the eighth minute of overtime, Clemson crossed the ball to forward Maliah Morris, who was tripped in the box to earn the Tigers a penalty kick. Defender Renee Guion scored the golden goal, converting the penalty kick to clinch the win. The last time the Tide lost in overtime was last fall against then-ranked No. 3 Arkansas.
