Clemson’s undefeated mark at Jervey Gym came to an end Thursday night in Clemson. And unfortunately for the Tigers it came to rival South Carolina.
The Gamecocks defeated Clemson in a 5-set thriller, 25-23, 25-20, 19-15, 22-25 and 15-10.
It wasn’t all bad for the Tigers as they led in aces with 14, blocks with 11 and digs with 57.
They also got strong offensive performances from outside hitter Brooke Bailey with a team-high 13 kills, along with fellow outside hitters Kaylin Korte and middle Alyssa Deloney, who both had 12.
Emily Curtis led the way defensively with 24 digs in the five-set match.
