CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson volleyball team will travel to NC State and 19th-ranked North Carolina as they begin a stretch of four straight road matches. The Tigers (12-11, 6-6 ACC) will go head-to-head with the Wolfpack (17-7, 8-4 ACC) on Thursday at 7:00 PM at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, NC. They will then take on the Tar Heels (20-3, 9-3 ACC) on Friday at 8:00 PM at Carmichael Auditorium in Chapel Hill, NC.
Thursday’s matchup with NC State can been seen on ESPN3.com while Friday’s game against North Carolina will be available on GoHeels.com for a fee. The Tigers hold a 38-20 advantage in the all-time series with the Wolfpack despite having lost three straight. Clemson is 16-55 all-time against the Tar Heels and looks to stop a six-game skid against the ACC foe.
