We’re live from one of my favorite venues, Littlejohn Coliseum, where Clemson will host the Pittsburgh Panthers for the Tigers’ home opener! These two teams faced off just two weeks ago in Pittsburgh, with Clemson securing their first conference win of the season.
Pittsburgh enters tonight’s meet as the underdog in the ACC, but they’ve shown strength, ranking in the top 30 on both bars and floor. Last weekend, the Panthers hosted Stanford, and while they ultimately fell to the Cardinals, they claimed vault and floor titles thanks to standout routines from Elizabeth Cesarone and Jah’Liyah Bedminster. Keep an eye out for key routines from Jordyn Ewing, Emily Todd, and Hallie Copperwheat, who have been consistent contributors for Pitt.
The Tigers, meanwhile, are coming off a season-high score of 196.225 from their meet at Cal. Senior Brie Clark made history by earning Clemson’s first 9.9 of the season on floor, tying for the event title. Ranked in the top 25 on vault, bars, and beam, Clemson is poised to put up a strong fight tonight.
It’s going to be a packed house tonight, with Tiger fans selling out Littlejohn Coliseum for this highly anticipated home opener. With full stands and a repeat ACC showdown, this is a meet you won’t want to miss!
