RADFORD, Va. –
For the second straight game, Radford will go up against an ACC foe as Clemson hosts the Highlanders in women's hoops action Wednesday at 7 p.m. inside Littlejohn Coliseum.
 
MEET THE TIGERS
» First-year head coach Audra Smith earned her first signature win as Clemson's leader, guiding the Tigers to a 68-63 win at South Florida, Sunday afternoon.
» Junior Charmaine Tay had career highs of 21 points and 12 rebounds in topping the Bulls, who won 22 games and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament a season ago.
» Quinyotta Pettaway paces Clemson in scoring (17 ppg) and rebounding (15 rpg), but has only played in one game (season opener against Davidson).
» Nikki Dixon also averages double-figure scoring at 10.5 ppg. However, the junior guard missed the USF game after suffering an ankle injury against South Carolina last week. She has led the Tigers in scoring and steals the last two seasons.
» Junior guard Kelly Gramlich is coming off her season-best performance in Tampa, firing up 14 points (all in the first half) behind four 3-pointers. Gramlich's 71 career triples made in 63 games is the ninth-highest average (1.13) in program history.
» Clemson puts up 58.6 ppg, while allowing 65.4 ppg. The Tigers are a strong free-throw shooting team, connecting on 73.3 percent of their attempts.
 
CLEMSON SERIES AT A GLANCE
» The all-time series between Radford and Clemson dates back to Jan. 18, 1988 with the Tigers leading, 5-0.
» Wednesday marks the second year in a row the Highlanders make the trip to Littlejohn Coliseum. The Tigers shot 51 percent from the floor in last season's meeting, which they won (74-55).
 
UP NEXT
» The Highlanders open Big South action Monday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. in Buies Creek, N.C. against Campbell.
