This will be the second straight year NC State and South Carolina State have squared off with one another in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, with the Wolfpack victorious 4-0 to begin their run to their first-ever NCAA championship match.
In last year's match, the Wolfpack got doubles wins from Sophie Abrams and Abigail Rencheli, as well as Amelia Rajecki and Nell Miller. Gina Dittmann is the only returning player from last year's match to have finished with a result, winning 6-1, 6-0 on court six. Abrams, Rajecki, and Rencheli all went unfinished in singles play.
South Carolina State enters the matchup as the MEAC Champion. The Lady Bulldogs are 16-4, and this will be their fourth straight NCAA tournament appearance and 18th in school history.
Wins on Saturday and Sunday would give the winningest head coach in program history, Simon Earnshaw, 200 career wins at NC State.
Over the last four seasons the NCAA Tournament has been played, the Wolfpack are 10-0 in NCAA Tournament Matches at J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. (The NCAA tournament during the 2020 season was not played)
Entering the opening round, the Wolfpack are 14th in the nation and are led by three individual singles players, including the No. 2 ranked player in the nation, Amelia Rajecki. Rajecki received the highest ranking in program history and she is joined by Anna Zyryanova at 62 and Rencheli at 71.
