Women’s Basketball to Hold Exhibition Game Sunday

Nov. 5, 2004

The Clemson women’s basketball team will play host to Berry College on Sunday in Littlejohn Coliseum. The game, which tips off at 2:00 PM, will be open to the public. Tickets for the game are $6 for adults, and $4 for high school ages and under.

The Lady Tigers were 17-12 last season, and two starters and six letterwinners return for Jim Davis’ squad this year. Julie Talley led the Lady Tigers in three-point shooting last season, and she returns as one starter. The other is former freshman All-ACC player Amanda White, now a junior. The Fountain Inn, SC native averaged 6.2 points and 4.9 rebounds per game last year.

Clemson will feature a lot of new faces this season, as four true freshmen (Adrianne Bradshaw, Moreemi Davis, D’Lesha Lloyd, Tasha Taylor), two junior college transfers (Reggie Maddox, Tasha Phillips), and one red-shirt (Maxienne White) will take the court for their first action.

Berry College, an NAIA member of the TranSouth Conference, finished the 2003-04 season with a 22-12 overall record. Two forwards from the team received honorable mention All-America honors last year, Deana Duncan and Britney Wetherington. Duncan averaged 15.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season, while Wetherington averaged 14.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.

Clemson’s first regular season game will also come on its home floor, as the Lady Tigers play host to Western Carolina on November 19 at 5:00 PM.
