Wolfpack Meets Stanford in Super Regional of NCAA Tournament
5/9/2024 12:00:00 PM | Women's Tennis
STANFORD, Calif. – In a highly anticipated rematch of last year's semifinals, No. 14 NC State (22-8) travels to California as they get set to take on No. 2 Stanford (24-2) in the NCAA Tournament Super Regional on Friday, May 10th at 2 p.m. PST/ 5 p.m. EST.
Wolfpack fans can catch the action through live streaming and live results, which can be found HERE.
This will only be the second meeting all-time between these programs, with the Wolfpack 1-0 against the future ACC member. The first and only meeting thus far saw a 4-0 victory for NC State, sending them to their first NCAA Championship appearance in 2023.
Four Wolfpack players appeared in last season's match, with now-seniors Gina Dittmann winning in singles and Abigail Rencheli paired in doubles with Sophie Abrams, bringing home a win.
The Wolfpack (22-8) cruised through the first and second rounds of the tournament with 4-0 wins over South Carolina State and Old Dominion to reach this point. The wins saw head coach Simon Earnshaw win his 200-career match at NC State, and Rajecki won her 100th career doubles match, making her the third player in program history to reach over 100 wins in both singles and doubles.
Stanford comes into the matchup on a 10-match winning streak that includes three consecutive sweeps. They beat Massachusetts and LSU to open the tournament at home, where they are 12-1.
There will be ranked matchups throughout Friday's match, with each team having three ranked singles players and at least one ranked doubles team. The Wolfpack will be led by No. 2 Rajecki, the highest-ranked player in Wolfpack history. Anna Zyryanova checks in at 62, and Abigail Rencheli at 71.
With a doubles record of 94-42 on the year, the Wolfpack's ranked doubles pairings will look to start the match on the right foot. Rajecki and Maddy Zampardo, who are 26-8 overall, check in at No. 12. Zyryanova and Abrams, who lead the team with 31 doubles wins on the season, are 29th in the country.
For Stanford, Connie Ma leads the Cardinal in the ITA singles rankings at No. 6, Angelica Blake at No. 25, and No. 29 Alexandra Yepifanova. In doubles, the pair of Connie Ma and Alexandra Yepifanova are 10th in the country.
A win over Stanford would send the Wolfpack to Stillwater, Okla., and a spot in the Elite Eight, where they would face California or Georgia.
