RALEIGH – NC State Volleyball (14-4, 4-3) moved back into the win column on Friday night with a 3-1 victory over in-state foe Wake Forest (13-5, 4-3) in Reynolds Coliseum.

The Pack saw a trio of underclassmen reach double-digit kills, with Ava Brizard tabbing a game-high 13 while Courtney Bryant added 12 and Martyna Leoniak contributed ten.

NC State's impressive offensive attack was aided by a team-best 22 assists by Kristen McDaniel, in addition to 17 assists from Naomi Cabello.

Despite falling in the first set 25-20, the Wolfpack ripped off three straight set victories to claim their 11^th win over the Demon Deacons in the last 12 meetings of the series.

After dropping the opening frame, the Pack took its first lead of the contest at 4-3 in the second period. Behind four aces in the second set, NC State picked up a 25-18 win to level the score at 1-1. A strong evening on the serving line continued for the Pack in the third and fourth sets, with NC State posting nine aces, a season-high for the Wolfpack in ACC play.

The Pack never trailed in the third set, clipping Wake 25-12 to move in front at a 2-1 set advantage. The Demon Deacons 12 points in set three matched the fewest in a set surrendered by the Pack this season, with NC State having hit that mark earlier in the year against Utah Valley, Rutgers, and George Washington.

A back-and-forth final frame saw the Pack score seven of the final nine points, collecting a 25-20 win and improving to 8-0 on the season at home.
