CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson volleyball team is ranked 14th nationally for the third week in a row according to the AVCA Division I Coaches Poll released this week. The Tigers received 701 points in the poll. Last week Clemson defeated Virginia and Maryland at home.

Since it is November, we need to be playing well as we look toward the postseason.”
