CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson Softball’s Maddie Moore (Loomis, Calif.) has been selected to the Atlantic Coast Conference’s 2025 Preseason All-ACC Team, the league office announced Thursday. The Preseason All-ACC teams are nominated and voted on by the league’s head coaches.

Moore returns for her final year in the Orange and Regalia after garnering All-America honors last season. The senior garnered 2024 All-ACC First Team accolades after she started 53 games and maintained a team-high .368 average with a .477 on-base percentage and .639 slugging percentage. She drew a team-high 29 walks and had 57 hits, including 10 home runs with 39 RBIs and 38 runs scored. She led the Tigers with 15 stolen bases and finished 2024 on a 22-game reached base streak which sits second all-time for the program.

Along with being named to the Preseason All-ACC Team, Moore has been named a Preseason Second Team All-American and the No. 31 Preseason Player by Softball America, while also being the No. 2 Preseason Second Baseman and No. 34 D100 Preseason Player by D1Softball.

Clemson will look to step into the 2025 campaign with the Orange vs. Purple scrimmage on Sunday, Feb. 2 at noon. This is a free event open to the public and will be fans’ only opportunity to see the Tigers in McWhorter Stadium prior to the 2025 season beginning on Feb. 6 in Boca Raton, Fla., at the Paradise Classic.
