RALEIGH, NC— Thirteenth-ranked NC State Women's Tennis will look to defend its ACC title as it begins postseason play in the third round of the 2024 ACC Championship Tournament on Friday, April 19, at 3:30 p.m. at the Cary Tennis Park.

The Wolfpack (19-7) is the No. 4 seed in the tournament. In the quarterfinal match, the Wolfpack will take on the winner of the match between Clemson and Georgia Tech. Should NC State continue advancing, its weekend match schedule would be as follows: The semifinal match will be on Saturday, April 20, at 2 p.m., followed by the championship match on Sunday, April 21, at 2 p.m. Both matches will be broadcast live on ACCNX.

NC State will be looking for its second ACC Tournament crown after claiming its first last season with wins over Florida State, Georgia Tech, and No. 1 ranked UNC. Since the ACC Women's Tennis Championships adopted the current bracket-style format in 1990, NC State has appeared in the league tournament every season. The Pack has appeared in three semifinals in program history (1995, 1998, and 2023) and the championship match once (2023).

The Wolfpack enters the tournament 9-4 in the ACC and 19-7 overall. This season, they are 10-6 against ranked opponents, including an 8-3 record against ranked teams in the ACC. NC State ended the regular season in a three-way tiebreaker for the #3, #4, and #5 seed and came away with the fourth seed after going 1-1 against FSU and Georgia Tech in the regular season.

As a team, NC State has been ranked in the national top 15 for the entirety of the season and has faced 10 opponents ranked in the national top 25 this season.

NC State has two ranked double pairs: Amelia Rajecki and Maddy Zampardo are ranked 10^th in the nation, and Sophie Abrams and Anna Zyryanova check in at No. 19.

In singles play, after starting the season ranked third, the highest by a Wolfpack player in program history, Rajecki has consistently been ranked among the top ten all season and comes into the tournament at No. 5. Joining Rajecki in the singles rankings is Zyryanova at No. 52 and Abigail Rencheli at No. 69.

It will be the first ACC tournament action for Maddy Zampardo as she looks to continue her impressive season. The two-time ACC Freshman of the Week has a team-best 9-2 conference record and shares the team lead for 30 singles wins this season.

Head coach Simon Earnshaw has 197 wins at NC State and will look to become the first coach in program history to reach 200 career wins.
