Raven Thompson Nets Season-High 24 Points In Win at Miami, 70-55

Coral Gables, Fla. – Senior forward Raven Thompson notched a season-high 24 points to propel Clemson women’s basketball (11-5, 2-2 ACC) past Miami (10-5, 2-2 ACC) at the Watsco Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Tiger offense scored 70 points for the eleventh time this season. Thompson led the way for Clemson, knocking down four three-pointers on her way to a season-high 24 points, her fourth double-digit scoring effort of the season, on an efficient 10-12 shooting. Demeara Hinds (13 points, seventh game in double digits) and Rusne Augustinaite (12 points, ninth game in double digits) joined Thompson in double-digit points. On the glass, the Tigers out-rebounded Miami 32-25. Senior guard/forward Hadley Periman had a team-high seven boards. Senior guard Mia Moore distributed a career-high 12 assists.

Miami was led by Ra Shaya Kyle and Gal Raviv with 12 points apiece.
