RALEIGH – The NC State women's tennis team hosts its first home matches of the season Saturday when it takes on Appalachian State at 9 a.m. and Campbell at 5 p.m. at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center.

From the Coach
"Probably the latest home opener I can remember in my career and after some tough road trips it's good to be back on familiar ground," said head coach Simon Earnshaw. "Also the first double-header of several we have scheduled this spring which gives us a great opportunity to get the whole team involved and especially this early on take a look at more options. Should be a good day tomorrow, we've had an unbroken week of practice and the team are ready to get out there and compete hard against App St and Campbell."
