Clemson, S.C. -- (release) In the first meeting between the two programs since 2004, Clemson (8-13, 1-10 ACC) downed No. 43 Liberty (17-7, 6-0 ASUN), 6-1, on Tuesday afternoon, snapping a four match skid for the Tigers.

With the doubles point secured, Clemson never looked back. At No. 6 Spencer Whitaker downed his opponent, 6-1, 6-4. Teodor Giusca followed closely behind with a 6-3, 6-2 win on Court 4.
