NC State (5-4, 4-4 ACC) is one of the hottest teams in the ACC, riding a five match win streak. The five-straight sits second in the conference behind Georgia Tech who has won seven in a row. The Wolfpack ended the fall semester with four wins against Virginia and Virginia Tech, including nine-straight set wins as NC State swept the Hokies.

Kristen McDaniel has done a tremendous job running the offense, as she ranks fifth in the ACC with 10.00 assists per set. McDaniel has a total of 350 assists through nine matches.
The Wolfpack's defense has held opponents off balance, holding them to a .161 hitting percentage, the third best in the ACC. Both McDaniel and Kaylee Frazier are averaging more than three digs per set.

Notre Dame is 7-1, including wins in its last three matches against Boston College and Valparaiso. The Fighting Irish are led by Zoe Nunez and freshman Lindsey Miller.

Friday will be the 12th all-time meeting between the two programs, with the Wolfpack holding the 6-5 edge in the series. Notre Dame however won the last meeting between the programs, Sept. 29, 2019.
