GREENSBORO, N.C. - The NC State women's soccer team will battle Virginia in a nationally televised game on FOX Soccer this fall to highlight the broadcast schedule announced by the Atlantic Coast Conference on Friday.

"The exposure our program will receive this fall is unprecedented and we look forward to being featured on multiple national broadcasts," said head coach Steve Springthorpe.
"This continues to show the growth of not only our program, and the ACC, but more importantly the sport of women's soccer."
