Volleyball To Hold Final Spring Season Home Match On Tuesday

April 2, 2007

CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson volleyball team will welcome the Georgia Bulldogs to Jervey Gym on Tuesday evening for its final home match of the 2007 spring season. The teams are slated to begin play at 6:30 pm.

Rising juniors Jeannette Abbott and Danielle Hepburn lead a Tiger squad that returns 12 letterwinners and posted a 20-10 overall record in the 2006 season. Both players set numerous school records and earned an impressive list of post-season accolades, highlighted by their Honorable Mention All-America selections. Hepburn tallied a Clemson single-season best 193 total blocks last season, while Abbott recorded a team-high 497 kills on the year.

The Bulldogs are coming off of a 6-25 season but will be playing their first match with newly hired Head Coach Joel McCartney. Last season, McCartney guided Winthrop to its fifth straight NCAA Tournament.

Clemson’s spring season will conclude at the Sports Performance Tournament in Aurora, IL on Apr. 14.
