Clemson Notes:

  • The Tigers will look to snap a five-match skid against the Irish dating back 2015. The last time Clemson defeated Notre Dame was on was on Oct. 17, 2014. Clemson won, 25-10, 25-19, 28-26 in Notre Dame, Ind.
  • Clemson has never defeated Louisville in its eight matchups against the Cardinals dating back to its first in 1985.
  • The Tigers are off to a great start behind the service line this season. As of Oct. 3, Clemson ranks 37th in the nation in service aces (1.67/set), which is also currently good for No. 2 in the ACC – second only to Syracuse.
  • Against Syracuse last weekend, Korte poured in a career-high 21 kills, which is good for the most by a Tiger in a single match this season. In addition to her 21 kills, Korte tallied her 10th career double-double and sixth of the season after digging 12 Orange attacks.
  • Korte raised her level of play against back-to-back top-10 opponents in then-No. 9 Wisconsin and No. 7 Minnesota. Against those pair of Big Ten foes, Korte averaged 4.33 kills per set and 3.83 digs per set.
  • Freshman setter Mckenna Slavik currently ranks fifth in the ACC in assists per set (10.15), which is also good for 14th in the nation among all freshman.
  • This season, the Tigers returned three 2018 All-ACC selections in Brooke Bailey (Second Team), Solei Thomas (All-Freshman) and Gabby Easton (All-Freshman), which marked the first time since 2011 Clemson collected three ACC postseason selections.
  • In 2018, Clemson secured two postseason victories, a first in program history, with wins over Alabama A&M and Radford in the NIVC.
