Both teams battled hard in the fourth set as there were 11 ties and five lead changes before Texas Tech tied the match at two sets. Tied at 17, Texas Tech went on a 5-0 run that saw four consecutive kills from Reagan Cooper that gave the Red Raiders just enough wiggle room to force a fifth set.

Mercy, looks like a long season for this team. Hope we aren't back to the level of bad from the early 2000s, when at one stretch we won something like 8 ACC matches total in 10 seasons.
From what's been seen so far, the key to success for Wolfpack volleyball could be a shift from relying on individual performances to the team operating as a more cohesive unit.

The Rams (1-2) took the nail-biting first set and the Pack (2-4) was able to regain momentum in the second but Colorado State outlasted the Wolfpack in the final two sets for the hard-fought victory.
Junior Taylor Rowland posted her third double-double of the season with 16 kills and a career-high 16 digs while graduate student Melissa Evans tallied her second double-double of the season with 13 kills on a .200 hitting percentage and 12 digs.
Junior Kristen McDaniel also recorded a double-double posting a match- and season-high 46 assists and a team-high 19 digs. Senior Jade Parchment rounded out the offensive threat with a match- and season-high 19 kills. Freshman Jada Allen led the defensive charge with six blocks including three solos.
Set One (NC State 28, Colorado State 30)
The first set was a battle from start to finish as there were six lead changes and 19 ties. At 22-all, Colorado State was able to capitalize off an error and secured a kill to take a 24-22 lead. Back-to-back Wolfpack kills allowed the set to go into a win-by-two scenario. The Rams NC State off back-to-back Pack errors. Both teams posted decent hitting percentages as NC State racked up a .208 percentage on 18 kills and Colorado State hit .204 with 15 kills.
Set Two (NC State 25, Colorado State 18)
After Colorado State took a quick 2-1 lead, NC State reeled off a solid 6-0 run to take a 7-2 lead that it would not relinquish. The Rams tried to battle back coming within two at 12-10 but could not overcome the early deficit. The Pack tallied 15 kills on a .237 hitting percentage while limiting Colorado State to only eight kills and seven errors for a .034 hitting clip.
Set Three (NC State 23, Colorado State 25)
The third set had similar energy as the first set with there being eight ties and three lead changes. NC State looked solid holding a 15-11 lead but the Rams fought back to tie the score at 16. Once again, the Pack started to itch away from Colorado State but the Rams kept close and eventually took the set off a service ace.
Set Four (NC State 23, Colorado State 25)
The Pack controlled all of the momentum early in the set, jumping out to an early 5-1 lead forcing Colorado State to call a timeout. After the quick break, the Rams regrouped and tied the score at 9-all. NC State went back ahead but the Rams did not let up, tying the game at 20 before being able to force a couple of Wolfpack errors to take the set and the match.

NC State volleyball earned its third sweep of the season as the Wolfpack defeated Brown, 3-0 (25-21, 25-18, 25-21) on Friday afternoon at the Rutgers 9/11 Memorial Tournament presented by Bridgewater Marriott.
The Pack (3-4) played solid volleyball as the team committed a season-low nine attacking errors and hit .345 to cruise past the Bears (3-2) in its first match of the weekend.
Leading the offensive threat was senior Jade Parchment who secured her second double-double of the season as she posted a match-best 14 kills with a blistering .429 hitting percentage and 11 digs. Junior Taylor Rowland also racked up double-digit kills as she tallied 12 on the day with a .400 hitting clip.
Classmate Kristen McDaniel recorded a game-high 38 assists alongside a season-high three kills for an errorless .500 hitting percentage. Defensively graduate student Kaylee Frazier earned the start at libero and recorded a season-high 16 digs.
Set One (NC State 25, Brown 21)
The first set started off tight as there were three ties by the sixth point of the game. Brown found energy and reeled off a 5-0 run to take an 11-6 lead. The Pack did not give up, as it fought back to knot the score at 18. Freshman Jada Allen recorded a kill and a block to give NC State enough momentum to close out the set. Frazier was all over the court as she recorded nine of NC State's 21 digs in the set.
Set Two (NC State 25, Brown 18)
The Pack was in complete control in this set as the team took a 2-1 lead early and never looked back. The offense was nearly unstoppable as NC State hit a thunderous .531 with 18 kills and only one attacking error. Parchment led the threat by going 6-of-9 (.667) while McDaniel went a perfect 2-for-2 on set dumps.
Set Three (NC State 25, Brown 21)
The final set was similar to the first as there were four ties and three lead changes. At the final tie (13-13), NC State went on a fierce 7-2 run to take a 20-15 lead that it did not let up. The Pack's defense really stepped up in the final set as it held Brown to a .073 hitting percentage.

NC State volleyball was able to outlast Rutgers to earn a hard-fought five set, 3-2 (25-22, 27-25, 19-25, 23-25, 15-9) win on Friday night at the Rutgers 9/11 Memorial Tournament presented by Marriott Bridgewater.
The Pack (4-4) started the match off with great energy but the Scarlet Knights (6-2) did not let up, forcing a decisive fifth set before the Wolfpack was able to hand Rutgers its first loss inside of the Rutgers Athletic Center.
Graduate student Melissa Evans was on a tear all match as she finished with a career- and game-high 25 kills on a solid .327 hitting clip to go along with five digs and an assist.

Freshman Maggie Jones stepped up tremendously, recording 31 assists with seven digs. Graduate student Kaylee Frazier posted a season- and game-high 23 digs.
Set One (NC State 25, Rutgers 22)
The opening set was a battle by both teams as neither team gained more than a three-point lead all the way through the media timeout at point 15. Tied at 15, Rowland recorded a kill before Parchment and Allen teamed up for a block to create a two-point gap that was just enough space to allow the Pack to claim the first set. Evans was dominant in the set as she tallied eight of the Wolfpack's 17 kills on a blistering .538 hitting percentage.
Set Two (NC State 27, Rutgers 25)
NC State started the second set on fire, jumping out to a nice 6-2 lead. The Scarlet Knights battled back to take the lead at 15-14.

Set Three (NC State 19, Rutgers 25)
The third set was all Rutgers as the Scarlet Knights took a quick 2-1 lead and never looked back. NC State struggled offensively as the team only registered 13 kills while committing eight errors and four service errors.
Set Four (NC State 23, Rutgers 25)
The fourth set was a wild one as both teams hit particularly well with the Pack registering a .417 clip and Rutgers putting up a .357 hitting percentage. Trailing 19-13, NC State reeled off a momentum-shifting 5-0 run forcing Rutgers to use a timeout after bringing the score within one (19-18). After the timeout, Rutgers scored two quick points to regain the crowd's energy which allowed the Scarlet Knights to claim the fourth set.
Set Five (NC State 15, Rutgers 9)
The final set was all NC State as the Pack recorded nine kills for a .400 hitting percentage while limiting Rutgers to five kills and forcing five errors for a .000 percentage. The Pack was in a smooth rhythm as the team held a six-point lead (8-2) at one point.
