The NC State men's tennis team has released its schedule for the 2023 season, as announced by head coach Kyle Spencer on Wednesday.
The full match schedule has been posted on GoPack.com, and times for each match will continue to be announced as soon as they are finalized. Home matches for the Wolfpack are held at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center and the Andy Andrews Indoor Stadium and are free to attend.
The N.C. State men's team continues to rise, coming off a trip to the Sweet 16. Spencer has led the team to the NCAA tournament four times in a row.
HEARING FROM OUR HEAD COACH
"We always aim to set one of the toughest schedules in the country that will allow us to be prepared for ACC play. Year after year the ACC is known as an elite league for Men's Tennis and this year is no different. I couldn't be more excited for our team to face these challenges and welcome the RDU tennis community and our NC State students out to our matches at the JW Isenhour Tennis Center and the Andy Andrews Indoor Stadium to see some of the nations finest teams compete against the Wolfpack."
SCHEDULE QUICK HITS
N.C. State will play high-level non-conference competition early and often. The team travels to the ITA Kickoff in Columbia, S.C. where they will face VCU and either Penn or South Carolina, Jan. 28-29. The Wolfpack hosts Harvard, Michigan and Princeton in the first two months of the season.
The non-conference slate also includes a trip to Texas in March.
RACKING IN THE RANKS
N.C. State had four athletes in the final ITA Fall Rankings.
Fifth-year senior Rafa Izquierdo Luque saw his name on both lists that were released on Wednesday.
Izquierdo Luque finished the fall with a 7-2 record. He finished No. 122 in the final ITA rankings. In 2022, Izquierdo Luque was an All-ACC Second Team selection. He was also named to the All-ACC Academic Team.
Last year he ended the season ranked No. 96 in the ITA singles rankings.
Izquierdo Luque also saw his name in the doubles rankings, finishing No. 21 in the final rankings with Joseph Wayand.
