Kody Burke had seven blocks in the game, setting a Wolfpack freshman record, and her 46 swats is now just three shy of the freshman school record. She is averaging 2.0 blocks a game, the second best total in the ACC this season.
Kastanek played 55 of 60 possible minutes on Thursday, the most by any D1 women's basketball player this season, and the most in school history. Myisha Goodwin-Coleman logged 52 minutes as well. Eight players in the game saw more than 40 minutes of playing time (four on each team). Each team also had five players score in double figures, while both teams finished with an identical 53 rebounds.
A Reynolds Coliseum record was set with a combined 18 blocks between the two clubs, including 12 for the Pack, the second-best figure in school history.
NC State travels to Virginia Tech on Thursday at 7 p.m.
