RALEIGH – The NC State volleyball program improved its winning-streak to eight after sweeping Charlotte in straight sets Tuesday evening. The win put head coach Luka Slabe at 49 wins at the helm of the program.
The two teams started out in a battle, but the Pack jumped in front and never looked back in set one. Junior opposite Amanda Rice led the way with five kills, while fellow junior Jada Allen added two service aces. With NC State leading 24-14, a kill by outside Madison Williams gave the Pack set one.
The 49ers put up a fight in set two, tying the set on nine different occasions and taking the lead twice. Charlotte recorded 12 errors in the second set and were unable to gain enough momentum to take a significant lead over the Wolfpack. After an 8-2 run, NC State took the set after a service ace by setter Kristen McDaniel.
The two teams battled in the beginning of set three, but the Pack continued to dominate and came out on top. Rice and Allen were in sync on the defensive side of things, recording a combined five blocks. With Allen behind the service line, the Wolfpack went on a 6-0 run to make it 23-16, eventually taking set three.
Rice led the way with 12 kills, while Ava Brizard added 10 and Williams added eight. Kristen McDaniel led the setters with 17 assists, while Naomi Cabello added 14. Allen and McDaniel each recorded three service aces in the win.
The Pack returns to Reynolds Coliseum on Wednesday Sept. 13 to host George Washington for the final nonconference match of the season. Play will begin at 6pm and be streamed on ACCNX.
