Debbie Southern Furman Fall Classic Tournament
Clemson Women’s Tennis begins their fall competition schedule at the Debbie Southern Furman Fall Classic beginning Friday, Sept. 13 and running through Sunday. Results will be available at the end of each day on social media and ClemsonTigers.com.
Due to anticipated inclement weather in the area, Clemson University will welcome Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, NC State, and Texas Tech to the Duckworth Family Indoor Tennis Facility for Friday’s competition. Weather permitting, the tournament will resume at Furman on Saturday and Sunday.
Various Tigers are set to compete for Clemson for the first time this fall under the leadership of Boomer Saia, who begins his second season as Clemson’s Head Coach. A total of nine new players joined the Tigers, which includes six freshmen and three transfers. Newcomer and sophomore transfer Ria Bhakta earned a high preseason singles ranking of No. 58, while Sophia Hatton is the lone returner from last year’s team.
