PACKING THE RANKINGS:
For the second season in a row, the NC State women's tennis team starts its dual match campaign in the national top 10 as it checked in at No. 8 in the Oracle ITA Division I Preseason Team Rankings that were released Thursday. That number ties as the best preseason ranking for the program after it was also ranked eighth to start the year last season.
In addition to the team rankings, NC State starts the year with four players featured in the individual rankings. The Pack boasts two top-20 doubles pairs - Anna Rogers/Alana Smith (No. 2) and Adriana Reami/Jaeda Daniel (No. 16) - and three top-40 singles players - Smith (No. 23), Rogers (No. 35) and Reami (No. 38).
LAST TIME OUT:
The Wolfpack opened its 2021 campaign last weekend at the Duke Winter Classic. It marked the first official collegiate action for NC State in just over 300 days. Over the course of the two days of individual action, the Wolfpack collected 11 singles victories and nine doubles wins. Seven of NC State's letterwinners from last season made their return to the court, and freshmen Abigail Rencheli and Amelia Rajecki played their first matches in a Wolfpack uniform.
UP NEXT:
The remainder of NC State's 2021 slate will be released at a later date.
