RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State women's soccer dropped its home finale 1-0 to No. 12 Notre Dame on Sunday at Dail Soccer Stadium.

Hannah Jibril almost put the Wolfpack ahead in the 57th minute, sprinting down the right flank on a counter attack before firing her right-footed shot toward Atlee Olofson's goal. Olofson saved Jibril's shot to keep the game scoreless.
NC State and Notre Dame entered halftime tied at 0-0. Notre Dame's Kristina Lynch hit the crossbar on a header in the 25th minute before Olivia Pratapas saved the follow-up effort from Klenke.
