CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson women’s tennis team (4-3) will head to the Northeast for the weekend to take on #14 Harvard and Brown. The Tigers will face the Harvard Crimson on Saturday, Mar. 4 at 1:00 PM at the Beren Tennis Center in Cambridge, MA. They will then meet the Bears on Sunday for an 11:00 AM contest at the Erickson Athletic Complex in Providence, RI.
