These rankings over the last two weeks are bizarre. I can't remember where I saw this, but I read that the rankings starting last week were the first ones this year to use some kind of computer ranking/numbers in the calculation.

Michigan was ranked #6 about a week and a half ago, and then we beat them. Then Michigan lost to Duke a few days after that. So what happens to Michigan? They've now moved up to #3 in the rankings!! LOLOL

UVA is ranked number one, but they have two losses on the year, losing to Michigan by a score of 2-4 back on February 1st, and getting swept 0-4 by Georgia on Feb 10th.

UNC has already lost to UVA twice this season.

I know the "transitive property" doesn't always work in sports....but if we can play the way we did against Michigan, then we can beat UVA (current #1 team), and UNC. And that means we are definitely in the mix to win the ACC this year.

These rankings are nowhere near accurate, with a lot to shake out. In a few weeks, we could be sitting somewhere in the 5-10 range, and if we win two out of three vs UVA, UNC, and Duke...solidly in the top 5.

The No. 15 NC State women's tennis team is set to begin ACC play this weekend with a two-match road trip. The Wolfpack will start by facing Louisville in Louisville, KY, on Friday, Feb. 28, followed by a Sunday afternoon matchup against Notre Dame.

Live results from Friday's match will be available on StatBroadcast, while Sunday's contest against the Fighting Irish will be covered on StatBroadcast for live results and on the Fighting Irish media stream for live streaming.

Scouting the Cardinals
Louisville enters its second ACC matchup with a 5-2 record. This will mark the 13th meeting between the two programs, with NC State leading the series 10-2. The most recent meeting was in 2024, when the Wolfpack hosted the Cardinals in Raleigh. NC State has won the last 10 encounters and will look to extend that streak this weekend.

Scouting the Fighting Irish
Notre Dame (11-1) comes into the weekend ranked No. 24 in the ITA team rankings. The Wolfpack leads the series 9-3, with the most recent matchup taking place in 2024 in Raleigh, where NC State won 5-2. The Pack has won the last nine meetings against the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame's No. 109-ranked Akari Matsuno leads the team with an 18-4 singles record.
