RALEIGH, N.C. - No. 37 NC State women's tennis will return to action on Saturday, Feb. 4, with a match against No. 40 Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va. Competition is set to begin at 11 a.m. at the Thalhimer Tennis Center.

The Wolfpack will be led by sophomore Joelle Kissell, who is ranked No. 40 in the nation. Kissell owns a 3-1 singles record on the young season, and has combined with teammate Ashley Miller to put up a 2-1 record in doubles action.

Freshman Elisha Hande has been enjoying a strong start to the season, posting an undefeated record in singles (3-0). She is 1-1 in doubles with partner Tatiana Illova.

The Wolfpack and the Rams are not new opponents on the court. NC State defeated VCU twice last year, once during the regular season and once during the first round of the NCAA team tournament, where it advanced to the second round with a shutout win.

Results will be posted to GoPack.com following the conclusion of the match.
