Noting the Pack

2024 marks the first season under the leadership of first-time head coach Lindsay Leftwich. She came to NC State after spending the last 12 seasons as the top assistant at LSU under Beth Torina.
NC State returns 18 players from its 2023 campaign, including infielder Hannah Goodwin who led the team with a .359 batting average a year ago.
The Pack welcomed six newcomers over the summer, including five freshmen and a transfer.
The Wolfpack is 13-6 in home openers, 3-2 when they end in a run-rule, and 1-0 when it goes into extra innings.
The Pack is 11-10 in season openers and 7-4 when opening the season in the state of Florida. NC State has opened the season somewhere in Florida in six of the last eight seasons.
Tenacious - the best word to describe the 2024 squad. They accept any challenge thrown their way, no matter how difficult it proves to be. Those who were here in 2023 dealt with some interesting circumstances, but stuck together as they knew the future would bring brighter days.
