RALEIGH, N.C. – No. 23 NC State men's soccer (5-2-5) collected its third consecutive draw Tuesday night in a ranked match-up with No. 21 Hofstra (9-3-2) at the Dail Soccer Stadium in Raleigh that resulted in a 1-1 tie.
The Wolfpack reentered the United Soccer Coaches Poll rankings today at No. 23 to make the first-ever men's soccer meeting between NC State and Hofstra a ranked one.

Hofstra struck back in the 40th minute to even out the scoreboard when Teddy Baker serviced a corner-kick that connected with Jacob Woznicki's head.
Going into halftime, the two were level at one a piece and unfortunately neither time would finally another scoring opportunity for the rest of the night.
The second half brought numerous close scoring opportunities for both sides of the ball but neither were able to find the back of the net. The Wolfpack had double the amount of shots in the second half compared to the first, recording 12 in the last 45 minutes alone.
