RALEIGH – NC State women's soccer has its schedule set for the 2021 fall season, as announced by head coach Tim Santoro on Friday afternoon. The slate features eight home games to be played at Dail Soccer Stadium.
Ticket information will be announced at a later date.
The Wolfpack will play Coastal Carolina at home (Aug. 7) and West Virginia in Blacksburg, Va. (Aug. 12) in exhibition matches, then will open its season with a three-game road swing at Georgetown (Aug. 19), Old Dominion (Aug. 22) and Campbell (Aug. 26).
Its home opener will be Aug. 26 against South Carolina, then will make the short trip to UNCG Sept. 2 before hosting Elon Sept. 5 for the program's Senior Day. NC State will then close out its nonconference schedule against Oklahoma (Sept. 9) and Penn State (Sept. 12) in a tournament hosted by ACC foe Virginia in Charlottesville.
NC State is slated to play a 10-game Atlantic Coast Conference schedule, as it will travel to Virginia Tech (Sept. 18), Duke (Oct. 7), Louisville (Oct. 10), Wake Forest (Oct. 21) and Pittsburgh (Oct. 28), and will host Clemson (Sept. 23), Virginia (Sept. 26), Notre Dame (Oct. 1), North Carolina (Oct. 16) and Syracuse (Oct. 24).
The ACC Tournament quarterfinals will be played Oct. 31 at select campus sites, while the semifinals and finals will be contested at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., Nov. 5-7.
The NCAA First Round is slated to run Nov. 12-14, while the second and third rounds will be held Nov. 19-21. The Elite Eight will be played Nov. 26-18 at select campus sites and the NCAA College Cup will run Dec. 3-5 in San Jose, Calif.
NC State is coming off a 5-3-1 spring season that showed a lot of promise with a young squad after opting out of the 2020 fall slate due to an indirect impact of COVID-19. Prior to 2020, the Wolfpack earned four-straight NCAA Tournament berths and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in three of those seasons (2016, '18, '19).
The program will welcome 12 newcomers to the 2021 squad while it returns 14 from last year.
