• The duo both attended Buford HS in Buford, Ga., and signed with the Tigers during their senior season
• The two joined the program in the fall of 2018 as two of the first-ever members of the softball program and participated in practice during Team 0’s initial year
• Members of the inaugural season in 2020, these two have been a part of every historical milestone Clemson has had (from the stadium being built to being shutdown in 2020 because of COVID to winning the ACC Championship in 2021 to hosting Regionals and making a Super Regional in 2022 and 2023)
• The two are looking to help Team 5 ‘Knock Down the Door’ during the 2024 season by making it a step farther than this team ever has before
• This season, Oda has started in 32 games and racked up a .455 on-base percentage with 24 hits, 15 walks and one hit by pitch
