The No. 22 NC State men's tennis team (6-2) is headed to Chapel Hill, N.C., Thursday, Feb. 17 for a 4 p.m. non-conference matchup with the 23rd-ranked Tar Heels (5-1).

SCOUTING THE TAR HEELS
North Carolina checks into the ITA rankings at No. 23 and most recently took down 13th-ranked South Carolina, 4-2. The team has been ranked for the entirety of the 2022 dual match season, reaching its highest ranking of the year at No. 13 on Jan. 19.

When I was watching the coverage of the women's ITA indoor championships a few days ago, I heard the commentator mention that our MEN's tennis team had just gotten a big time recruit. I only heard in passing, so I think he might have said the #1 recruit...but I could be wrong about that. Seems like our men's team has a lot of positive momentum right now, in addition to the obvious momentum that the women's team has.
