RALEIGH – Senior forward Jennifer Mathurin of the No. 18/18 NC State women's basketball team (22-8) has been cleared to return to competition following a leg injury sustained during the quarterfinal round of the 2017 ACC Tournament on March 3, the program announced Tuesday.

The March 3 game vs. No. 14/13 Louisville also featured freshman Aislinn Konig's return to competition for the first time since a January 5 game vs. No. 14/14 Miami. Konig is averaging 18.2 minutes, 7.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game this season while shooting .430 from the field and .375 from beyond the arc.
