Back to 10

Senior guard Jacquie Fernandes, who missed Friday's win over Hofstra because of illness, is taking part in pre-game drills. Junior guard Lorin Dixon, however, is on the court but once again not warming up so she will miss her fifth straight game with a strained left hamstring.

Clemson escaped with a 69-68 win over Hofstra in Saturday's first game as Keyrra Gillespie hit two free throws with 4.2 seconds to play.

Hofstra, which led by as many as seven points in the second half, regained the lead on a Candice Bellocchio layup with 13 seconds to play.

Lele Hardy, limited to nine minutes in the second half because of foul trouble, led Clemson with 19 points. Gillespie had 12 points, four assists and three steals and Shaniqua Pauldo had 10 points for the Tigers, who are 1-1 in the tournament.

Hofstra, 0-2 in the WBCA Classic, was led by Simsbury's Sam Brigham's 17 points. Jess Fuller added 14 and Joelle Connelly 10 for the Pride.
