to have any prayer of making ACC or NCAA tourneys, probably need to finish 3-1 in our four remaining. That requires not crapping the bad vs. two bad teams (Pitt and Cuse), and stealing one vs. either Wake or UNC

WOLFPACK WINS!! DOWN GOES THE HEELS!! https://t.co/w96Pju2tAg

#4 Duke
#3 UNC

First time in program history we've beaten two top five teams in the same season, and the first time we've beaten both teams in the same year.

NC State women's soccer (8-8-2, 4-6-0 ACC) closed out its regular season slate on Thursday night with a 2-0 loss to Pittsburgh (11-7-0, 4-6-0 ACC) at Ambrose Urbanic Field.

The Panthers scored a pair of late first half goals and managed to hold their lead the rest of the contest.

Amanda West put the Panthers on the board in the 33rd minute with a strike just inside the box that was out of reach of goalkeeper Maria Echezarreta, as the ball slid just under the crossbar and into the back of the net.

Pitt doubled its lead in the 43rd minute with Emily Yaple's header goal following a corner kick. Hailey Davidson played to Yaple inside the box, and after her first header attempt fell short, she collided with Echezarreta and her second attempt rolled into the back of the net.

NC State will now await its fate for the NCAA Tournament. Starting this year, the ACC Championship has been reduced to six teams, but because of the league's dominance typically eight to 10 teams make the NCAA Tournament. The selection show will be November 8 at 4:30 p.m., and the NCAA First Round will be held November 12-14 at various campus sites.

terrible loss. Doesn't do a bit of good to beat a few of the elite ACC teams if you can't hold serve against the lower tier ones. We beat UNC and Duke, but then turned around and lost to several teams at about our level in the league standings (Pitt and VaT, for two)

more confident than I am of NCAAT

No. 34 RPI
No. 3 strength of schedule (faced nine top 35 RPI teams)
Two wins over top five teams

We'll be ready for you, NCAA Tournament.

We our international teammates. Without them, we wouldn't be the well-rounded and diverse Pack that we are today.

@JGravleySPORTS dives into how this niche has become a key part of our program. https://t.co/uk1HWBJnDi

Four members of the NC State women's soccer team were featured on the Atlantic Coast Conference's 2021 awards list on Thursday afternoon, as Jameese Joseph earned Second Team All-ACC honors, Lulu Guttenberger was named Third Team All-ACC and Emika Kawagishi and Annika Wohner were featured on the ACC All-Freshman Team.

This is the fifth time since the 2016 season that NC State has had two or more players represented on the list (NC State did not compete in 2020 as an indirect impact of COVID).

All four members of the Pack started in all 18 matches in the regular season.

For Joseph, the team's leader in scoring (8 goals) and points (18), this is her second postseason honor from the league as she was tabbed ACC All-Freshman in 2019. She started the regular season with four goals in the first five matches and ended the slate with four goals in the last six conference matches, which was highlighted by game winners at No. 4 Duke and vs. No. 3 North Carolina in back-to-back weeks to earn ACC Player of the Week honors.

For Guttenberger, this is the third honor from the ACC in her career after earning ACC All-Freshman honors in 2017 and Third Team All-ACC honors in 2019 after suffering a season-ending injury early in the 2018 season. She currently leads the team with five assists on the year and has scored three goals from the back line.

In their first season with the Wolfpack, Kawagishi and Wohner have been essential pieces to a young lineup. The two have combined for 18 points (7 goals) and 2,920 minutes on the year.

Wohner ranks second on the team with five goals, and three of them came during ACC play as her equalizer at No. 4 Duke and game winner at Louisville highlight her rookie campaign so far. Additionally, one of her two assists on the year was for Joseph's game winner over North Carolina.

Kawagishi tallied goals from the midfield against Oklahoma and Syracuse, helping NC State earn shutout wins over both teams. She additionally picked up corner kick assists on Jenna Butler's game-winner against Elon and Wohner's equalizer at Duke.
