In just their second season of competition, the Clemson Tigers Women’s Gymnastics team is heading back to the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers secured their second consecutive postseason appearance on Monday afternoon, earning a spot in the Alabama Regional.


Clemson will open the regional in a play-in meet against Rutgers, with the winner advancing to face No. 3 Florida, No. 14 Oregon State, and NC State. The regional round is scheduled for April 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM EDT and will be streamed on ESPN Plus.


Strong Finish at the ACC Championships

The Tigers wrapped up their conference slate with a solid performance at the ACC Championships on Saturday in Greensboro, North Carolina. Clemson finished fifth overall in both the regular-season standings and the conference championship meet.


In a high-stakes showdown during the afternoon session, Clemson edged out the Pitt Panthers with a dramatic finish on floor exercise. The Tigers needed a strong rotation to move ahead of Pitt—and they delivered their best event total of the day with a 49.300.

  • Madison Minner led off with a career-high-tying 9.900

  • Molly Arnold added a 9.825

  • Maggie Holman matched her season-best with a 9.850

  • Eve Jackson contributed a 9.825

  • Brie Clark, one of the ACC’s top floor performers, tied Minner with another 9.900

  • Tara Walsh sealed the rotation with a 9.825


The strong finish gave Clemson a final team score of 196.175, just enough to surpass Pitt (195.800) and win the session.
