The Pack recorded a top-five score for the squad this season and tied for the second-best score on the road in 2019.
NC State qualified for the postseason for the second consecutive year, which had not been accomplished since 2014 and 2015.

Straight from the Pack: Head Coach Kim Landrus
"The vibe tonight was something special. The energy the team had-- from the very first bar routine when Meredith nailed her dismount-- to the final vault was definitely memorable. The way each of the ladies carried themselves, especially when they were faced with a challenge, showed such fight and determination to ensure tonight was successful. To earn our second highest away score of the year in this environment, on the second day of competition, is something that each of them should be very proud of!"
