No. 50 NC State Hands Defeat to No. 32 Wake Forest

RALEIGH, N.C. - The No. 50 NC State women's tennis team was able to defeat conference foe No. 32 Wake Forest, 5-2, on Sunday afternoon in the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. The win for the Pack improves their record to 11-8 overall and 4-5 in the league. With the loss, the Deacons fall to 8-10 on the year and 4-5 in conference action.

The match started great for the Pack as they held a 1-0 team lead before the first ball was even hit. Wake Forest was forced to forfeit the No. 3 doubles match as well as the No. 6 singles match because they didn't have enough players due to injuries.

The Wolfpack built upon their lead by collecting the doubles point. The Red and White won both of the doubles matches in easy fashion to make it a 2-0 lead in favor of NC State.

No. 18 FSU Completes Weekend Road Sweep Against Boston College

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - No. 18 Florida State clinched their second win of the weekend as the women's tennis squad defeated conference opponents Boston College 6-1. Senior Carolin Walter clinched the win on the number three singles court with a dominant 6-0, 6-3 victory to keep the Seminoles on the right track heading into the final week of the regular season.

"It's always good to go 2-0 on an ACC road trip weekend," said head coach Jennifer Hyde. "The girls did a great job taking care of business. In the week ahead we will be working hard on our doubles and will continue to work towards finding the pairings that we will use as we head into the post season."

Prior to Walter's winning match on court three, the Seminoles secured two singles victories in the two and four spots. Freshman Katie Rybakova continued her winning streak with her fourth-straight singles win, pulling out a 6-3, 7-6 victory on court two.
