RALEIGH – For the sixth consecutive fall season, NC State women's soccer (7-7-5) has earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament. The Wolfpack will remain in Raleigh to host UCF (9-2-5) in the NCAA First Round.
NC State will host UCF on Sunday, Nov. 13, at Dail Soccer Stadium. Kickoff is set for noon.
The Wolfpack holds a 2-1 record against UCF in the NCAA Tournament, earning postseason victories over the Knights in 1988 (1-0 OT) and 1991 (4-0). NC State is 3-5 all-time against UCF in eight previous matchups.
With its sixth straight fall appearance in the NCAA Tournament, NC State is one of just six ACC programs to make the national tournament the past six fall seasons (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022). The Wolfpack is joined by just North Carolina, Florida State, Virginia, Duke and Clemson in the select group.
This year's resume was highlighted by a consistently high mark in the RPI, never falling outside of the Top 40 the entire season. NC State reached as high as No. 14 in the RPI rankings during the regular season and never fell below No. 39. The Pack's strength of schedule closed out at No. 12 in the country.
NC State faced 10 opponents inside the top 50 of the RPI and dropped five of its seven matches to teams ranked inside the top 15 of the RPI rankings. The Wolfpack earned three results against teams ranked No. 19 or higher in the RPI, earning a 2-1 road victory at Clemson while also earning draws against No. 16 Georgetown and No. 12 South Carolina.
The Pack also battled through adversity throughout the 2022 campaign following preseason injuries to 2021 ACC All-Freshman Team honoree Emika Kawagishi and incoming true freshman Alex Mohr. NC State also lost true freshman Eliza Rich for the year during the regular season.
The NCAA Second and Third Rounds will be held Nov. 18-20, while the NCAA Elite Eight will run Nov. 25-27 at various campus sites. The NCAA College Cup will be hosted at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.
