Opening-Weekend Results:

Scouting Troy:
Troy enters the match with a 2-1 record. The Trojans suffered an early loss to Georgia State, but have wins over South Alabama and Mercer. Hassan Ndayishimiye leads the Trojans at the No. 1 singles spot. NC State is 2-0 against Troy all time. The Pack earned a 4-1 win against the Trojans last season in Raleigh.
Scouting Monmouth:
Monmouth enters the weekend after a 6-1 season-opening loss at Temple. Sunday's match will be the first meeting between the two programs. The Hawks will bring in an experienced team with three seniors.
Scouting Elon:
Elon suffered a season-opening 6-1 loss to Duke over the weekend. Elon won the doubles point, but fell in all six singles matches. The Phoenix featured many familiar faces, including the No. 42 ranked duo of Neal Port and Salvador Mijares. NC State faced Elon in fall matches at the ITA Carolina Regional and the Wolfpack Invite. The Pack is 7-0 all time against Elon with the last win coming in 2016.
Record Watch:
Nick Horton has won at least 20 matches in each of his first three years with the Pack. He's already up to 11th in school history in total singles wins with 72. Horton can move up the ranks in program history this season. His 73rd win will move him into a tie for 10th and his 75th win will move him into a tie for eighth place in all-time singles wins.
Horton, Galarneau Ranked by ITA:
Both Horton and Alexis Galarneau were selected to the first ITA/Oracle singles poll of the spring season. Horton checked in at a team-high No. 37 to move up two spots from his fall ranking, while Galarneau will begin his freshman spring campaign ranked No. 103.
