Frogs take part in Clemson volleyball tournament

The building process continues for the volleyball team, as it hits the road for the Clemson University Tournament.

The Frogs face an entirely new field of opponents this weekend at the Clemson Invitational, as all three opponent are from the Big East Conference. TCU enters this all-Carolina tournament with the second best start in the school’s history with a 6-5 record.

Clemson, Coastal Carolina and Virginia Tech each had losing records last year.

“As long as we focus on our side of the net and play good defense, we will be fine,” freshman outside hitter Carissa Mills said.

Another win would equal last season’s total of seven, but coach Prentice Lewis downplays that.

“Seven is just another win,” Lewis said. “Last season is last season. We are a whole new program. This year .500 is our goal.”

The Frogs are getting a crash course in the lesson of “any day, any team can win,” Lewis said.

This is evident by the Frogs win against Miami University (Ohio) at home Saturday and the loss to North Texas on Tuesday.
