The Clemson University women’s lacrosse team recently announced its Fall Ball schedule, featuring several exhibition games and events throughout September and October. This series of non-conference matchups and scrimmages allows the team to prepare for the upcoming regular season and showcase its talent within the community.
The schedule begins with a home game against Kennesaw State on September 28. Following this, the Tigers will travel to Charlotte, North Carolina, for a neutral-site game against Duke on October 5. The team then returns to Clemson to host a Fall Play Day on October 12, which will include games against Furman and Coastal Carolina. These events offer local residents and Clemson University students an early look at the team’s progress.
The Fall Ball period concludes with a final home game against Queens on October 26. These games are crucial for the team’s development, providing valuable experience and allowing coaches to assess player performance in a competitive setting. As a Division I (FBS) ACC program, Clemson University’s athletic events, including lacrosse, contribute significantly to the vibrant sports culture of the city of Clemson, often drawing fans and visitors to the area.
The university, a major economic driver and employer in Pickens County, consistently hosts athletic events that engage the community and support local businesses along corridors like US-123 (Tiger Boulevard). While Memorial Stadium, known as Death Valley, is primarily associated with football, the broader athletic department, overseen by Athletic Director Graham Neff, supports a wide array of sports that contribute to the university’s national profile.
