2006 Season: Clements was in the starting lineup 21 times last season, giving him 30 starts in his 31 career appearances. He helped anchor the Stags defense, which ranked first in the conference for goals allowed per game (0.84) and represented the only MAAC team that averaged less than one goal allowed per game. Clements earned second team All-MAAC accolades, his second post-season award in as many years. He also provided offense when necessary, registering a pair of assists on the season. Clements set up the game-winning goal with under a minute to play against Marist (1-0), and assisted on the game-winner in a 2-1 overtime decision at Saint Peter's.
2005 Season: Although a newcomer to the program, Clements was in the starting lineup on opening day and helped the team post an impressive 2-1 win over North Carolina State. He remained in the starting lineup for the next four games, before coming off the bench in a loss to Lafayette. An injury forced him out of the lineup for a few weeks. He returned to the starting 11 on October 1 against nationally-ranked Fairleigh Dickinson, a game which the Stags won by a 2-0 count. Clements tallied his first career point in that game with an assist. He appeared in 13 of the team's 20 games, which was enough for the defender to receive a spot on the MAAC All-Rookie team.
Before Fairfield: Clements' experience includes time with the England Schoolboys squad in 2003. He was named team captain of the Suffolk County team, and played with Suffolk for six years (1997 to 2003). His time as a defender at those levels should establish him as a key defender either as a starter or as a reserve for the upcoming season. His major is business.
