NC State women's tennis will play for the 2023 NCAA Team Championship on Saturday after beating sixth-ranked Stanford (25-3) by a 4-0 score in Friday evening's semifinal matchup at the USTA National Campus.

This marked the team's second Final Four appearance in the past three seasons, and the Pack made history by advancing to the title match for the first time in program history. The Wolfpack extended its record on the season to 28-4, bettering its already-set program record for wins in a single season.

NC State will face off against top-ranked North Carolina on Saturday, May 20, with that match set to start at 5:30 p.m. EST in Orlando. The national title match will be a rematch of the 2023 ACC Tournament finalists as the Pack beat previously undefeated UNC by a 4-1 score a month ago to claim its first-ever conference title. That victory, NC State's first over the Tar Heels in 25 years, remains North Carolina's only loss of the season.

State has won the first set in three of the matches and UNC has won the first set in the other two and is serving for the set in the other. Smith and Rajecki lost. Snaider, Abrams, and Dittman all won.

Thanks for the update.
At the Canes game.
Much appreciated

Rencheli just broke Scotty to make it 5-5 in the first set.
