CONSISTENT CAMMY Cammy Pereira has been a consistent presence since joining Clemson's inaugural class being the Tigers' go-to face of the program in difficult situations. Pereira was recently recognized at the Clemson Board Meeting as a notable student-athlete having been the driving force to multiple Clemson initiatives including but not limited to: being the leader of the Tigers Unite affinity group CU Pride, spoken at several panels regarding issues in the LGBTQ community, participating in Clemson academic research, is a Paw Pal mentor and a student liaison for the We CU Committee for staff engagement.

Pereira hit the first home run of the 2022 season against FGCU and the most recent homer at Georgia - both were solo home runs in the second inning. YOUNG PROGRAM The Clemson softball program has accomplished multiple feats for being a program with just over 100 games. Entering this season, the only players with over 100 collegiate games under their belts are transfers that began their careers at other programs. These players include Marissa Guimbarda, Grace Mattimore, Cammy Pereira, Sam Russ and Bailey Taylor. Valerie Cagle surpassed the 100-game mark at the same time as the program after starting in every game in program history, and JoJo Hyatt hit the 100-game mark at Georgia. The remaining 22 players on the 2022 roster have appeared in less than 100 games led by Alia Logoleo (94) and Arielle Oda (94). The Tigers won the ACC Regular Season Title in their first complete season in the 2021 after playing only 27 games in 2020. In only their second season, the Tigers also competed in the ACC Championship game and at the Tuscaloosa Regional.
