With a home win over Miami, NC State improves to 3-0 in the ACC play, their best start under head coach Kyle Spencer.

The Wolfpack (9-4, 3-0) got there thanks to a gritty 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

The three and a half hour marathon was punctuated by a 6-4, 6-4 win by Fons Van Sambeek in match No. 5.

The 3-0 start is the best in league play since head coach Kyle Spencer took over in 2018.

"Happy to be 3-0 in the ACC," Spencer said. "Good team win, I thought we were super strong in the doubles, so I was really happy on that front. We got it done, so super pleased for the guys."

Doubles (NC State 1, Miami 0)

Rafa Izquierdo Luque and Joe Wayand, ranked No. 29 in the ITA, proved worthy of their ranking, defeating Antonio Prat and Dan Martin 6-3 to start off doubles.

Luca Staeheli and Robin Catry, ranked No. 55, gave NC State the doubles point with a 6-3 win over Juan Martin Jalif and Martin Del Puerto.

Singles (NC State 3, Miami 2)

NC State got off to a good start thanks to the duo of Staeheli and Catry, who won their singles' matches after the Canes struck first. In the matchup of No. 44 Dan Martin and No. 77 Rafa Izquierdo Luque, Martin won in two sets.

Staeheli and Catry, though, won back-to-back games to swing the momentum.

"Luca and Robin got us closer to the finish line," Spencer said.

Carry was strong from the start, never trailing, defeating Leonard Bierbaum 6-3, 6-2. Staeheli quickly followed with a 6-4, 6-2 win over No. 76 Martin Katz.

The most exciting match of the night took place on center court between Braden Shick and Antonio Pratt. Shick won the first set 6-3, dropped the second, 7-6 and battled to the end before falling, 7-3 in the tie breaker.

That pulled Miami within one, 3-2, with the fate of the match riding on Fons Van Sambeek and Joe Wayand.
"I felt really confident with Fons and Joe Wayand out there," Spencer said.

The Hurricanes pulled to within one, 5-4, 4-3, in each of those matches, and Franco Aubone managed to tie the match at four with Wayand. Van Sambeek, however, made sure it didn't matter by defeating Juan Martin Jalif, 6-4 in the second set.

he NC State men's tennis team continues to add to its list of first.

With a 4-0 win over No. 23 Florida State on Sunday, the Wolfpack is 4-0 in ACC play for the first time in the Kyle Spencer era.

Sunday's match was also the first win this season over a nationally ranked opponent.

NC State (10-4, 4-0) has now won six consecutive matches heading into Tuesday night's showdown with No. Texas.

"I thought we had great momentum," Spencer said. "It was a big win. Across the board we had guys close out sets and that's sort of what we've been waiting for for a while, to have that full team effort in that regard."

Doubles (NC State 1, FSU 0)

After the Noles took the first doubles' match, NC State won two in a row to secure the doubles' point.

Rafa Izquierdo Luque and Joe Wayand, ranked No. 29 in the country, won their third straight match, defeating Antoine Cornut-Chauvinc and Joshua Dous-Karpenschif 6-3.

Robin Catry and Luca Staeheli, ranked No. 55 in the country, clinched the doubles with a 6-2 win over Alex Bulte and Loris Pourroy. It was the sixth consecutive win for the Pack pair.

Singles (NC State 3, FSU 0)

NC State's Robin Catry kept the momentum going for the Pack, winning his first two sets, 6-0, 6-1 over Andreja Petrovic.

Braden Shick then picked up a huge win over No. 107 Youcef Rihane, 6-2, 6-4 to give NC State a 3-0 advantage.

The Noles wouldn't go away quietly, though, making things difficult on court one for Damien Salvestre and courts five and six for Fons Van Sambeek and Joe Wayand.

Enter Luca Staeheli.

In his match against Loris Pourroy, Staeheli dropped the first set, 6-4, but put on his rally cap to win sets two and three to clinch the match for the Pack.

"A lot of resiliency on his part," Spencer said.

Staeheli won the second set, 6-2, to things up, then dominated the final set, 6-1 for the win.
