Wolfpack Jumps to No. 4 in AP Poll

RALEIGH – The NC State women's basketball team (4-0) jumped up four spots and moved up to fourth nationally in the Associated Press Top-25 Poll.
Monday's placement tied its season high from the 2019-20 campaign when it was also ranked No. 4 the week of Feb. 10. That was the program's best ranking since Jan. 10, 2000 when the Wolfpack was listed third to cap off six-straight weeks spent in the national top five.
The ranking comes after NC State maintained its perfect record to start the season with victories at then-No. 1 South Carolina and versus Coastal Carolina. The Pack knocked off the nation's top-ranked team for the first time since March 3, 2007 and handed the Gamecocks their first loss in 29 games. The Wolfpack then followed up with a dominant home victory over the Chanticleers during which it outscored Coastal Carolina 64-10 in the second and third quarters.
NC State plays host to Elon on Wednesday evening before jumping into conference play this coming weekend. Tip-off is set for 7:15 p.m. from inside Reynolds Coliseum, and the game will be televised nationally on the ACC Network.
