No. 20 NC State defeated Miami 4-3 Friday afternoon. In a neck and neck battle, the Pack dropped the doubles point but came back in singles play to come out with the win!
The Pack kicked things off with a new rotation for doubles. On court one Robin Catry and Damein Salvestre who made their first appearance of the season together playing a neck and neck battle against No. 74 opponents Katz, and Antonio Prat with their match abandoned 3-4. Shick and Van Sambeek, who have been a power team through conference play, shedded five games to Raham, and Serra Sanchez (UM). The pair battled, bringing the score 3-5, but were stopped after the Hurricanes caught up 6-3. Joe Wayand and Luca Staeheli made their first appearance together of the season on court two. With a rocky start the pair fell short 6-1 to No. 72 Adrien Burdet and Vladislav Melnic.
Still fighting, the Pack headed into singles play with opportunities ahead. On court two No. 68 Braden Shick led the Pack, taking an early first set against Antonio Prat (UM) 6-3. Prat caught up in the second set 6-3. Shick gained back the lead in the third, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. On court three No. 103 Luca Staeheli took down opponent Vladislav Melnic in back to back sets 6-2, 6-4 giving the Pack its first point of the match.
Freshman Jakub Katuch, who made his college debut against Notre Dame two weeks ago, secured his first career college win tonight against the Hurricanes. In a nailbiter Katuch took the first set 7-6 (8-6). Maintaining momentum into the second set, Katuch clinched his first college win 6-3 . Damien Salvestre battled it out on court five with his match also being brought to a first set tiebreaker. Salvestre claimed the first set 7-6, but fell short in the next two sets 6-1, 6-4 to Serra Sanchez. Left on court four, Fons Van Sambeek was left to clinch the win for the Pack. After dropping the first set, Van Sambeek buckled down in the next two sets creating distance from opponent Adrien Burdet (UM) 6-2, 6-1 securing the win for the Pack.

Fairly dominant win over the cheats. Probably would have been a 5-2 or 6-1 win if they would have played out the final 3 matches.
For those who haven't been to a college tennis match, the atmosphere/crowd can get a little raucous at these if you have a decent sized crowd, and especially in rivalry matches like us versus unc or duke. I was there and would estimate there were around 300-350 people at this match tonight, which is a very large crowd for college tennis. There were a few obnoxious unc fans and several players and staff on the unc team up in the stands (where they are not supposed to be) getting very loud. But they quieted down a lot as the singles matches went on and they could see they were going to lose.

Head coach alludes that the large pro-Wolfpack crowd tonight helped them play well, and hopes for another big crowd for the final regular season match at home on Sunday against Duke (at Noon).

No. 16 NC State men's tennis knocked off in-state foe and 23rd-ranked North Carolina on Friday night at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center, with the Wolfpack taking a 4-0 sweep and winning its second-straight over the Tar Heels.
Friday marked just the second time in program history that NC State has swept North Carolina, with the back-to-back wins serving as the first time the Wolfpack have won consecutive matches against the Tar Heels since winning four straight from 1978-81.
The Pack got moving quickly as NC State took the doubles point to jump ahead of the Tar Heels at 1-0, picking up a pair of 6-3 victories from the 65th-ranked duo of Braden Shick and Fons Van Sambeek as well as the pairing of Robin Catry and Luca Staeheli.
Both the team of Shick and Van Sambeek plus Catry and Staeheli got off to fast starts in their respective matches, distancing themselves early and creating what proved to be insurmountable leads.
Shick and Van Sambeek knocked off North Carolina's Will Peters and Karl Poling, while Catry and Staeheli defeated Patrick Schoen and Peter Murphy. The 72nd-ranked doubles pairing of Joseph Wayand and Martin Borisiouk saw their match against No. 32 Benjamin Kittay and Phillip Jordan go unfinished, with Wayand and Borisiouk trailing 5-4 as the Pack clinched the doubles portion of the match.
No. 51 Shick, the reigning ACC Player of the Week, carried his momentum from doubles into singles play, where he gave NC State its second singles win with a 6-4, 6-4; defeat of UNC's No. 122 Phillip Jordan.
Damien Salvestre and Jakub Katuch each had strong showings for the Wolfpack in singles as well, with Salvestre putting NC State ahead 2-0 after a 6-3, 6-4; victory over Peters. Just after Shick's win over Jordan put the Pack on top 3-0, Katuch clinched the match for the Wolfpack with a 6-3, 6-3; victory over Anuj Watane, continuing a strong string of performances after he was awarded ACC Freshman of the Week for the first time of his career on Tuesday.
The Pack now moves onto its regular-season finale on Sunday afternoon, as NC State hosts Duke on Apr. 14 in a noon tilt against the Blue Devils.
Box Scores:

1. #51 Robin Catry (ST) vs. Benjamin Kittay (NC) 6-4, 4-5, unfinished
