CONWAY, S.C. -- Danielle Edwards' free throw with 3.9 seconds left gave No. 13 seed Clemson a 67-66 victory over 12th-seeded Virginia Tech on Wednesday in the opener of the ACC Tournament.
Clemson plays No. 5 seed and 14th-ranked Louisville in the second round Thursday.
Coming out of a timeout with 25 seconds remaining, the Tigers (15-15) ran the clock down until Edwards drove to the hoop and was fouled. Edwards missed the first free throw but made the second and the Hokies weren't able to get a final shot off in time.
Edwards scored Clemson's final five points, breaking ties three times in the final 1:16.
