RALEIGH, N.C. The NC State women’s tennis team will host No. 7 Duke on Wednesday, March 25 at 2:30 p.m. at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. The Pack is currently 4-10 (1-3 ACC) on the season, and the Blue Devils are 11-3 (1-1 ACC). The match is scheduled to be played outside on the Curtis and Jacqueline Dail outdoor tennis stadium, but if inclement weather occurs, it will be moved indoors.
The Pack enters the match after going 1-1 this past weekend, earning the team’s first ACC win of the season over No. 71 Boston College, but then falling in a close 4-3 match to Maryland. Sophomore Lenka Hojckova is ranked 99th nationally in the ITA polls, and won both her matches against her ACC foes this weekend at the No. 1 spot. Junior Berkeley Brock is currently on a four-match winning streak at the second singles position. Hojckova and Brock are also ranked in doubles at No. 45, and have one five straight, including a win over the then-55th ranked pair of Sierra Poske and Sasha Kulikova of Wake Forest.
Duke head to Raleigh after suffering a loss to No. 8 Miami on Sunday. Five members of the Blue Devils squad are ranked: No. 23 Ellah Nze, No. 30 Reka Szilinszka, No. 31 Mallory Cecil, No. 54 Tara Iyer, and No. 73 Amanda Granson. Melissa Mang and Granson are also the 19th nationally ranked duo.
