Two-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week (Sept. 1, Nov. 17)
Clemente accounted for 4.73 points per set during her standout freshman campaign, a figure increased to 5.10 against Big Ten opponents. She led all Big Ten freshmen and was third among NCAA freshmen in points per set, and was one of just two freshmen to surpass 500 total points this season. Clemente was sixth in the league with 3.89 kills per set this season, up to 4.18 kills per set in Big Ten play.
The Santa Clarita, Calif., native finished the season with 501.0 total points. Clemente amassed 412 kills, 124 digs, 69.0 total blocks and 51 service aces. She reached double-digit kills in 22 of 29 matches played including seven 20-kill performances, all of those coming in the Ducks' last 14 matches of the season.
Clemente and junior Valentina Vaulet are the first set of UO teammates to reach 50 service aces in the same season since 1984. Vaulet, an All-Big Ten and AVCA All-Northwest Region first-team selection, is set to lead the conference with 56 aces this season, the most by a Duck since 2010.
Oregon finished the 2025 season, its first under head coach Trent Kersten, with a 17-13 record with an 8-12 mark in Big Ten play including a trio of top-25 wins over Minnesota, Purdue and UCLA.
Last week, Kersten announced the addition of transfer Sjakkie Donkers, a rising junior from Gonzaga. The All-WCC First Team pick led the league with 4.04 kills per set and was second with 4.50 points per set.
