Clemson By The Numbers
Despite dropping their last three ranked matchups, the Tigers remain one of the toughest competitors in the conference. Renee Guion added another assist to her 2019 season against No. 11 Duke, moving her season total to 10 and placing her three assists shy of tying the program record for single season assists. The Tigers look to capitalize on the home field advantage as they currently hold a 6-1-1 record at Historic Riggs Field.
