The Wolfpack will be represented by a pair of singles players and two doubles tandems at the 2021 NCAA Women's Tennis Singles and Doubles Championships, with action set to run May 23-28.
Anna Rogers and Alana Smith both earned at-large bids to compete in the 64-player singles draw. The pair will also compete as one of 32 teams in the doubles draw alongside Adriana Reami and Jaeda Daniel.

The Wolfpack upperclassmen will continue the chase for more All-America honors. Rogers (singles) and Daniel and Reami (doubles) automatically garnered All-America status with their seeding in those respective draws. Players that reach the Round of 16 or earn a top-20 ranking in singles or reach the quarterfinals or earn a top-10 ranking in doubles will also be named All-Americans.
Rogers and Smith make their second-straight NCAA Championships appearance as a pair, with Rogers' doubles selection making it four national tournaments in a row that she has competed in. The Stamford, Conn., native also earned back-to-back singles appearances with this season's selection.
