NC State women's soccer has its schedule set for the 2021 fall season, as announced by head coach Tim Santoro on Friday afternoon. The slate features eight home games to be played at Dail Soccer Stadium.

Ticket information will be announced at a later date.

The Wolfpack will play Coastal Carolina at home (Aug. 7) and West Virginia in Blacksburg, Va. (Aug. 12) in exhibition matches, then will open its season with a three-game road swing at Georgetown (Aug. 19), Old Dominion (Aug. 22) and Campbell (Aug. 26).

Its home opener will be Aug. 26 against South Carolina, then will make the short trip to UNCG Sept. 2 before hosting Elon Sept. 5 for the program's Senior Day. NC State will then close out its nonconference schedule against Oklahoma (Sept. 9) and Penn State (Sept. 12) in a tournament hosted by ACC foe Virginia in Charlottesville.

NC State is slated to play a 10-game Atlantic Coast Conference schedule, as it will travel to Virginia Tech (Sept. 18), Duke (Oct. 7), Louisville (Oct. 10), Wake Forest (Oct. 21) and Pittsburgh (Oct. 28), and will host Clemson (Sept. 23), Virginia (Sept. 26), Notre Dame (Oct. 1), North Carolina (Oct. 16) and Syracuse (Oct. 24).

The ACC Tournament quarterfinals will be played Oct. 31 at select campus sites, while the semifinals and finals will be contested at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., Nov. 5-7.

The NCAA First Round is slated to run Nov. 12-14, while the second and third rounds will be held Nov. 19-21. The Elite Eight will be played Nov. 26-18 at select campus sites and the NCAA College Cup will run Dec. 3-5 in San Jose, Calif.

NC State is coming off a 5-3-1 spring season that showed a lot of promise with a young squad after opting out of the 2020 fall slate due to an indirect impact of COVID-19. Prior to 2020, the Wolfpack earned four-straight NCAA Tournament berths and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in three of those seasons (2016, '18, '19).

The program will welcome 12 newcomers to the 2021 squad while it returns 14 from last year.

Wolfpack fans will have the opportunity to check out the 2021 NC State women's soccer squad for the first time this Saturday, as it is set to host Coastal Carolina in an exhibition match. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Dail Soccer Stadium, and admission is free.

The match will not be broadcast and there will not be live stats. Fans who do attend are asked to follow current campus guidelines, which can be found here.

2021 FALL ROSTER
This year's roster is comprised of 26 players. Just 14 of them have at least one semester of collegiate experience, as head coach Tim Santoro and his staff brought in a strong freshman class this fall. Three of those players were early enrollees in the spring and unable to play in NCAA competition, while the nine others just recently arrived in Raleigh for their first semester.

2021 FALL SLATE
The Wolfpack has an exciting and challenging schedule ahead of it, as eight teams on its slate were featured in the United Soccer Coaches 2021 Preseason Poll. All eight programs are ranked inside the top 17.

2021 SPRING RECAP
After missing the 2020 season due to an indirect impact of COVID-19, the Wolfpack went 5-3-1 in its 2021 spring slate.

The squad started its schedule with a 4-0-1 ledger, then suffered three consecutive losses to nationally ranked ACC and SEC programs, which were all by a one-goal margin, but closed out its schedule on a high note with a 3-1 comeback win over conference foe Boston College.

SERIES HISTORY
NC State and Coastal Carolina have met just four times in program history during the regular season, with the Wolfpack owning a 3-1 advantage in the all-time series.

The last meeting between the squads was on August 24, 2017 in Raleigh, and the Pack earned a 3-0 victory.

UP NEXT
NC State will play in one more exhibition match August 12 when it meets with No. 12 West Virginia at Thompson Field on the University of Virginia Tech's campus in Blacksburg, Va., for a 2 p.m. contest before opening its season August 19 at No. 11 Georgetown.

HOME OPENER
After starting its season on the road for three consecutive matches, the Pack will open its home slate August 29 when it welcomes No. 17 South Carolina to Dail Soccer Stadium at 1 p.m. NC State is scheduled to play seven total matches in Raleigh this year.

Despite boasting a young roster, @PackWSoccer impressed in its exhibition games and looks poised for a big year in 2021.

HC Tim Santoro "When you get a big young group, and they can play, it makes that adjustment period pretty easy."

Thanks to a late goal in the 87th minute by Jenna Butler, the NC State women's soccer team (1-0-1) secured its first win of the season with a 2-1 result over Old Dominion on Sunday night (1-1-0) at ODU Soccer Complex.

For the second consecutive match, Jameese Joseph put the Wolfpack on the board first thanks to her goal in the ninth minute from inside the 18-yard box. She was played through by Denae Antione, cut back, and placed the ball into the right top corner for her second goal of the season.

The Monarchs answered back in the 61st minute from a corner kick, as the ball bounced around the six-yard box and was eventually tapped in by Gry Boe Thrysoe.

Maria Echezarreta made two saves late in the second half, highlighted by a vital play in the 76th minute where she pushed a ball over the crossbar that was destined for the roof of the net.

Following the pair of saves to keep the score level, Butler headed in her second goal of the season in the 87th minute off a Lulu Guttenberger corner kick. It was their second connection of the year.

The Pack finished the match placing three of its six shots on target, and controlled possession for 59 percent of the contest. Out of the 15 members who played, eight were freshmen and five of them made the starting XI.
NC State will return to action Thursday at 7 p.m. when it makes the short trip to Buies Creek, N.C., to face Campbell at Eakes Athletics Complex in the final match of its three-game road swing
