RALEIGH – The NC State women's soccer team (8-3-1, 1-2-1 ACC) will continue its four-match road swing Thursday evening when it makes the short trip to Koskinen Stadium to face No. 4 Duke (11-1-0, 4-0-0 ACC). Kickoff is 7 p.m. and the contest will be broadcast on the ACC Network Extra.
LAST TIME OUT
NC State traveled to No. 21/8 Florida State last Friday and dropped a 1-0 result. The Seminoles scored in the 15th minute and despite several quality scoring attempts the Wolfpack was unable to recover from its early deficit.
SERIES HISTORY

A win Thursday would mark NC State's first over Duke since 2000 and an end to 14 straight for the Blue Devils in the series.
