CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson women’s basketball team fell to the Pittsburgh Panthers on Sunday in Littlejohn Coliseum. Junior Eno Inyang charted her first career start, scoring eight this afternoon.

Amari Robinson hit two big threes this quarter, and Clemson ended the quarter on a steal and fast break bucket from Dayshanette Harris.

The Tigers kept battling in the second half against a talented Pitt team. After a low scoring third quarter, the Tigers went on a 7-0 scoring run in the fourth quarter going into the 7:38 timeout to narrow Pitt’s lead to six. Although the Tigers did not pull out a win, Clemson had three players in double figures: Whitehorn, Harris and Robinson, Whitehorn scoring 12 of her 14 total points this half.
