Clemson Notes:

  • Clemson is 8-0 all-time in Jervey Gym against the Mountaineers and 11-2 overall since the two teams first met in 1989.
  • In the Tigers’ regular-season matchup at App State last season, Clemson defeated the Mountaineers in five sets, 25-22, 19-25, 21-25, 26-24, 15-10, before going on to win Appalachian Invitational in Boone, N.C. Then-freshman Solei Thomas was named Tournament MVP, while middle hitter Alyssa Deloney and freshman setter Gabby Easton were also named to the All-Tournament Team. Thomas went on to garner ACC Co-Freshman of the Week status for her performance at the tournament.
  • The last time Appalachian State played in Jervey Gym was in a neutral-site contest against Radford in the first round of last year’s National Invitational Volleyball Championship, which Clemson hosted on Nov. 29. App State lost in five sets to the Radford Highlanders, who Clemson went on to defeat in the second round of the NIVC.
  • The Tigers are off to a great start behind the service line this season. As of Sept. 9, Clemson ranks 14th in the nation in service aces (2.19/set), also good for an ACC-leading average.
  • Kaylin Korte registered her seventh career double-double – and second of the season – in the Tigers’ sweep over Central Arkansas Saturday. Korte, who recorded her first double-double of the season in her first match back from a knee injury that sidelined her for all of last year, rang up 15 kills and 10 digs in Clemson’s final match of the K-State Invitational.
  • Freshman setter Mckenna Slavik was named to the K-State Invitational All-Tournament Team after tallying 45 assists in Clemson’s sweep over Central Arkansas Saturday. Slavik was also named the Heather Kahl Holmes Setter of the Tournament at the Big Orange Bash (Aug. 30-31) after posting a tournament-best 10.10 assists-per-set average.
  • This season, the Tigers returned three 2018 All-ACC selections in Brooke Bailey (Second Team), Thomas (All-Freshman) and 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.
