The Clemson softball program is set to compete in its first-ever ACC Tournament this week in Louisville, Kentucky. The Tigers, who are still in their first full season of competition, are the No.1-seeded team in the tournament and will take on either the eighth-seeded Syracuse or ninth-seeded Georgia Tech on Thursday morning inside of Ulmer Stadium (11 a.m./ACC Network).
Clemson head coach John Rittman, who was named the ACC Coach of the Year earlier this week, knows the tall task his team faces entering the weekend with a target on their back.
“We’re just looking forward to it,” Rittman said on Tuesday afternoon.
