THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
NC State set the NCAA Division I women's college basketball record for most consecutive made three pointers by a team. The Wolfpack started its March 1 game at Virginia by shooting a perfect 13-of-13 from downtown before missing its first three of the game early in the third quarter. Additionally impressive, seven different members of the NC State roster contributed to the streak. The 13 consecutive threes surpassed the previous record of 11, which was set by both Bowling Green (Feb. 6, 2016) and TCU (March 3, 1996).
REGULAR-SEASON RECORD
NC State has continued its tradition of putting together an incredibly solid regular-season record. The Pack has reached 20+ wins in all but one of seven seasons under Coach Moore and has picked up 25+ wins three seasons in a row.
The Pack compiled its best 23-game record in program history, a 22-1 clip that surpassed 21-2 marks set in both 1977-78 and 2018-19. NC State's 24-game mark tied as the best in program history, matching 22-2 records posted in the 2018-19 and 1977-78 campaigns.
14 IN ACC PLAY
With its win at Virginia to end the regular season, NC State set a single-season program record for ACC wins with 14 on the year. The Wolfpack's previous record was 13 victories during the 1984-85 campaign.
