INDIANAPOLIS – After a strong performance during the regular season, NC State women's tennis will be represented by two singles players and two doubles pairs at the 2024 NCAA Women's Tennis Singles and Doubles Championships.
After earning the highest ranking in program history, senior Amelia Rajecki earned the highest seed in the tournament by a Wolfpack player, as she was also seeded in the No. 2 spot. She enters the postseason 31-7 overall and 21-4 in dual matches. Earlier this season, she became just the fourth Wolfpack women's tennis player to reach 100 career singles wins.
Maddy Zampardo will join Rajecki and form the second Wolfpack doubles pairing. Zampardo will become only the fourth freshman to represent Wolfpack tennis during the individual championships, joining Anna Rogers, Alana Smith, and Diana Shnaider. NC State is one of two programs in the tournament with two doubles teams competing. Zampardo and Rajecki are 24-8 this season and ranked 13th overall heading into the tournament.
The singles and doubles championships will be at the Greenwood Tennis Center in Stillwater. Okla. from May 20-25, following the conclusion of the team competition. As a team, NC State opens NCAA Championship action at home on Saturday, May 4, at 2 p.m. when it hosts South Carolina State for the second straight year.
