11/17/2023 9:11:00 PM | Women's Volleyball
RALEIGH – The Wolfpack volleyball team advanced to 21-7, 11-6 on the season after defeating Clemson in straight sets Friday evening in Reynolds Coliseum.
The two teams started the match in a back-and-forth battle, but the Wolfpack took a lead that the Tigers were unable to top. Two massive blocks and several scoring runs helped the Pack maintain the lead throughout the opening frame. NC State took the first set 25-20, despite a late rally by the Tigers.
The Pack continued to dominate in the second set, taking a 10-4 lead. After several errors by NC State, Clemson minimized the lead to four, forcing head coach Luka Slabe to call a timeout. The Pack continued to battle and finished the set on top, 25-21.
At the conclusion of the second set, Amanda Rice led the way with eight kills, while Ava Brizard and Martyna Leoniak each tallied seven. The Wolfpack also tallied seven service aces, five in the second set alone.
The third set was no different from the first two, as the Wolfpack continued to dominate. Brizard recorded a solo block to give the Pack its ninth point of the set. Clemson took a timeout as the Pack led 16-9, in hopes to regroup. Leoniak was then called for a net violation, giving Clemson the first point out of the timeout. Clemson found a weak spot in NC State's defense, minimizing the deficit to three. The Wolfpack bounced back and took the set 25-20.
Leoniak and Rice led the team with nine kills each, while Brizard added eight. Fifth year setter Kristen McDaniel led the setters with 16 assists, while Naomi Cabello added 11. Skye Stokes and Leoniak each tallied 17 digs the the Pack. The team finished with 10 service aces on the evening.
The Wolfpack hit the road for the final road match of the 2023 campaign. The Pack will head to Virginia to take on the Cavaliers on Wednesday Nov. 22. First serve is set for 7pm on ACCNX.
