NC State women's tennis took out the College of Charleston, 6-1, on Monday afternoon in Charleston, S.C. NC State used a win early on in the doubles competition to stake an early lead and never look back. The Wolfpack (6-3), ranked No. 39 nationally by the ITA, won at the top-4 singles positions with three-set victories, including three matches after losing the opening set.

With the Pack up 1-0 in the match, Bleakley wasted little time in dispatching of Amanda Becker at No. 6, 6-3, 6-2, for a 2-0 Wolfpack lead.
CofC bounced right back with a win at No. 5 in straight sets to make things interesting and trip the Pack lead in half.
The Cougars won the first set at No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 singles, but the Red and White showed no signs of folding. Daria Petrovic won her second set 6-0 before making it 3-1 with a 6-2 final set win.
