"Every match is important for us right now," head coach Joey Scrivano said. "This is another opportunity to get better individually and collectively as a team. We have so much room for improvement. Every time we step on the court, there's an opportunity to grow."

Clemson (3-3) is coming off of a four-game road swing, ending the trip with a 4-3 loss to 23rd-ranked Miami. The Tigers' lineup boasts three ranked singles players, including No. 27 Yana Koroleva, No. 29 Anne-Liz Jeukeng, and No. 44 Beatrice Gumulya. The three are a combined 11-3 in the top three spots. In doubles, the team is 5-9 overall.
