MCKENNA’S MAGIC

Mckenna Slavik continues to quarterback the Clemson offense in her fifth year of action with the Tigers
A starter since her freshman year, Slavik propelled herself and the Tigers to new heights
After surpassing 4,000-career assists during the second week of the 2023 season, she moved into third all-time on Clemson’s career list on Oct. 8 at No. 7 Pitt.
Needing only two assists entering the match, Slavik surpassed Michelle Thieke (4,305 – 1994-97) to take over the third spot. Slavik has 4,334 entering the Miami match on Friday.
To continue her solid career as a Tiger, Slavik needs only six digs to reach 1,000 while in Orange and Regalia. She would join junior Devan Taylor as another active roster member to reach the milestone.
