RALEIGH – For the third season in a row, the eighth-ranked NC State women's tennis team (3-0) prepares to host the 2022 ITA Kickoff Weekend with matches set for Jan. 29 and Jan. 30.
The Wolfpack squad is making its appearance in the Kickoff Weekend field for the sixth season in a row. NC State is the No. 1 seed for tournament action in Raleigh, and it welcomes Wake Forest, Northwestern and Penn State to the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center on Saturday and Sunday.
All of the weekend's matches are free to attend, and parking on campus is also free of charge. Fans are required to wear masks for the indoor competitions per NC State's University Community Standards.
MATCH INFO:

The overall winner from the Raleigh site will advance to to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships. The 16-team national tournament is set to be played Feb. 11-14 at the Nielsen Tennis Center on the campus of Wisconsin.
