All fourteen players on the Wolfpack roster played and contributed in the win. Tynesha Lewis led NC State with 21 points - hitting seven of 10 field goals, including five of six from three-point range. Summer Erb, the preseason ACC Player of the Year, contributed 11 points and a game-high 13 rebounds in 24 minutes of play.
Freshman Kaayla Chones added 11 points and six rebounds in 19 minutes of action Rookies Amy Simpson and Amelia Labador contributed eight and seven points respectively in limited action off the bench.
Andrea Karolyi scored 17 points for Ferencvarosi Torna while teammate Dora Kalmar Nagy contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds.
"I feel very good about our overall play within our system," commented NC State Coach Kay Yow. "We are a team that has good depth, and if we learn how to use it effectively, then we will definitely have an edge throughout the season."
NC State shot 46 percent from the field, including 50 percent from behind the three-point line. The Hungarian club managed only 35 percent from the floor and nine percent from behind the arc. The Wolfpack held a decisive advantage on the boards, outrebounding the foreign team 46-28.
"I was very pleased with what we did out there defensively," stated Yow. "And on the offensive end, we were taking good shots and not forcing shots out there, and that really pleases me."
Coach Yow and the Wolfpack Women will get its first test of the season next Sunday in the State Farm Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic in Knoxville, TN. NC State will face Rutgers, a preseason number one by Street & Smith's, in the prestigious event. Tip is slated for 1 p.m. and will be nationally televised on ESPN2.
