The Pack Fell to No. 13 Florida State, Defeated Winthrop
RALEIGH – The No. 10 NC State women's tennis team (21-4, 10-2) split its final home regular season doubleheader on Sunday in two tight matches. The Pack fell to No. 13 Florida State (17-5, 9-3) 4-3 in its Sunday opener, but bounced back with a gutsy win over Winthrop (12-7, 8-0), 4-3, thanks to a gritty performance by Amanda Rebol on court six to clinch the match in three sets.
The loss to the Seminoles is NC State's first loss since February.
No. 15 Anna Rogers went undefeated in singles on the day, picking up two ranked wins (No. 32 Carla Touly, No. 51 Lauren Proctor) to bring her total in the category to 16 on the season.
Bianca Moldovan also steadied the team on Sunday, going undefeated in singles play (2-0).
In addition to the doubleheader, the Wolfpack also had the chance to recognize and celebrate the members of its senior class (Bianca Moldovan, Amanda Rebol, Claudia Wiktorin) as they participated in their final regular season home match.
Straight from the Pack: Head Coach Simon Earnshaw
