WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Wake Forest women's basketball team continues the 2007-08 conference campaign with Clemson on Monday night at 7 p.m. at the Joel Coliseum.
The Clemson Tigers (7-10, 0-2) opened ACC play with a crushing 110-46 loss to Maryland in College Park and followed with a tough 66-61 loss to Miami in South Carolina. D'Lesha Loyd leads the Tigers with 8.9 points per game and averages 4.1 rebounds.
The Demon Deacons (12-5, 0-3) recently dropped their first ACC road contest to Georgia Tech 57-47, despite holding several second half leads. Corinne Groves led the squad with 21 points in last Thursday's game, just one point shy of her career high.
Clemson has won the last two match-ups in the Deacon/Tiger series. Since the first meeting in 1977, the Tigers lead the series 43-12.
The game will be televised on Fox Sports, featuring broadcasting talent Debbie Antonelli and Mike Hogewood.
