She has played all 15 of her dual matches at No. 1 singles, and has eight wins over nationally-ranked opponents on the season.

  • Navarro has won five out of her last six singles matches, and has settled into her spot at No. 2 in the singles lineup, with a 7-4 record in dual matches at that position. Earlier this season, the native of Guadalajara, Mexico was named ACC Player of the Week, after clinching the Tigers’ 4-3 upset over then-11th-ranked Wake Forest on Feb. 18.
  • Senior Daniela Ruiz has won five-straight singles matches, and has a 20-13 overall record, a 10-6 dual record and a 5-4 ACC record, playing primarily at No. 6 singles.
  • Ruiz was named a recipient of the 2018 ACC Weaver-James-Corrigan Postgraduate Scholarship. The Beni, Bolivia native will graduate from Clemson in May 2018 with a degree in Industrial Engineering, and has already begun taking classes toward a master’s degree in that field.
  • Clemson has won the doubles point in 12 of its 21 matches on the season. The Tigers have an 8-4 record in matches in which they win the doubles point, and a 3-6 mark in matches in which they lose the doubles point.
