Looking Ahead
Head coach Kim Landrus reflected on the exhibition and shared her excitement for the upcoming season:
"Performing in front of our fans today in Reynolds Coliseum allowed Team 45 to get a small taste of the season that lies ahead. It was great to watch our freshmen perform for the first time representing NC State. The exhibition is always a much-appreciated opportunity for us to assess where we are as we prepare for the season. I am confident the team will use today's experience to refine the details needed to reach our goals. Sticking out dismounts will be pivotal in our success this season."
