They will gather to reminisce about old times, and show support for Itoro Coleman’s squad. Players from 27 of 37 seasons will be represented at the luncheon and banquet, and will stay for the game on Sunday. This is the first all-time meeting between North Carolina Central and Clemson in women’s hoops. N.C. Central is located in Durham, NC. Clemson has three players from the state, including Chelsea Lindsay, who went to high school less than two miles away from the campus. Clemson will play their first game after a nine-day layoff due to final exams, which ended Friday. Clemson’s young group will try to snap a three-game skid, and return hope for the first game in Littlejohn in two weeks. Coleman has played freshmen and sophomores 79 percent of all minutes this season, and the group has accounted for 73 percent of the scoring. Nikki Dixon leads the Lady Tigers at 13.9 points per game, and has also tallied 4.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game, ranking sixth in the ACC in minutes played per game. She is tied with fellow freshman Chelsea Lindsay, who has averaged 5.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. Shaniqua Pauldo is second on the team in scoring at 11.2 points per contest, and has gone for more than 20 points twice this season. The senior leads the team at .474 from the floor and ranks ninth in the ACC with a .800 free throw percentage. She and fellow senior Lindsey Mason have patrolled the paint, as Mason ranks third in the league in shot-blocking. Quinyotta Pettaway continues to impress, averaging 9.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, and has already more than doubled her scoring output from a season ago and surpassed her rebounding total. After the Sunday matinee, Clemson will head north to take on Providence College in Rhode Island on Thursday at noon, before taking eight days away from competition for the holidays.
