SCOUTING THE HURRICANES: Miami enters the matchup with a 16-7 overall record, including a 7-3 mark in ACC matches. The Hurricanes have been ranked in the top 25 for four consecutive weeks and currently check in at No. 25 as a team.
Sophomores Adria Soriano Barrera (No. 55) and Bojan Jankulovski (No. 81) hold down the fort for the Hurricanes in the singles rankings, and Miami does not have a ranked doubles pair.
The Hurricanes hold the overall lead in the series between the two teams, but NC State has won four of its last five matchups against Miami. The squads last met on April 26, 2018 to open the 2018 ACC Championships, and the Pack came away with the 4-1 victory in that match to advance to the quarterfinals.
UP NEXT:NC State will await results from around the league to learn its final conference standing headed into the postseason. The Pack is set to head to Cary, N.C. for the 2019 ACC Championships, which runs April 17-21 at the Cary Tennis Park.
