Volleyball Hosts Alumni Weekend Oct. 27-29

CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson head coach Michaela Franklin announced details for the annual Clemson volleyball alumni weekend Tuesday, which is set for Oct. 27-29. The Tigers host a pair of matches against Wake Forest on Friday, Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. and Duke on Sunday, Oct. 29 at 1 p.m.

“We are thrilled to host alumni weekend Oct. 27-29.  The support and encouragement the program has received from our alumni since coming to Clemson has been tremendous and I look forward to putting some names with faces,” said Franklin. “Many have expressed their excitement for the program, so it will be wonderful to have everyone back on campus, and learn about their experiences at Clemson. It is a special moment for our program because we will be celebrating and recognizing the 20-year reunion for the 1997 ACC tournament championship team as well as the 10-year reunion for the 2007 ACC championship team. We are looking forward to a wonderful weekend.”
