TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Junior Lindsay Browne and senior Deliah Arrington scored goals to lead No. 14 Clemson to a 2-0 victory over Duke in the semifinals of the 2002 ACC Women's Soccer Championship at the Seminole Soccer Complex. The victory sends the Tigers into Sunday's tournament championship match against the winner of the Thursday night's second semifinal game between North Carolina and Maryland.

"Right now, I'm just ecstatic to be in the ACC finals," said Clemson head coach Todd Bramble. "We've played two good opponents, and we've had two good results. To go to the ACC Championship game is special, and I'm happy for our players."

Clemson will make its' third appearance in the ACC Championship game. The Tigers lost to North Carolina, 4-0, in the 1998 championship game. That tournament was played in Orlando -- the last time the ACC women's soccer tournament was played in the state of Florida. Clemson also lost to North Carolina, 4-1, in the 1996 championship game.

Second seeded Clemson improves to 14-6-0 with the victory while sixth seeded Duke is now 9-9-2.

Browne scored the first goal of the game for Clemson during the 52nd minute. She headed a pass from Lydia Vandenburgh past Blue Devil goalie Thora Helgadottir. Allison Graham was also credited with an assist on the play.

Arrington scored an insurance goal for Clemson with just under 12 minutes remaining to up the Tigers lead to 2-0. Arrington scored two goals in Thursday's quarterfinal win over NC State and has an ACC leading 18 goals. She is Clemson's all-time leader with 50 goals and 127 total points.

"We played well tonight," stated Duke head coach Robbie Church. "The first goal is always key; I was a little disappointed in that first goal. We had our opportunities, and we had a lot of shots. We just didn't capitalize on them." Despite allowing two goals, Helgadottir was sensational in goal for the Blue Devils and was credited with six saves. She was credited with four saves, all of the spectacular variety, in the second half. Her counterpart, Clemson's Lauren Heos, was credited with nine saves in earning her fourth shutout of the season.

Clemson defeated Duke, 3-2, in overtime during the regular season and has now defeated the Blue Devils three consecutive times dating back to the 2001 season.
