The women’s tennis team will take on No. 17 Florida State today at noon at the Cary Tennis Center in the first round of the ACC Championships. The winner will go on to play No. 7 Georgia Tech Friday.

The Wolfpack come into the tournament riding an eight-game losing streak, all against ACC opponents. However, coach Hans Olsen said he hopes playing on its home court will be advantageous for the team.

“We feel very comfortable playing here close to home, and we’ll have a good group of people out there to support us,” Olsen said. “We’ll have a good energy and a good vibe.”

The last time these two teams met, the Seminoles walked away with a 6-1 victory in Florida. Senior Neils Barringer was the lone State player to win her singles match while FSU ran the court.

“We played Florida State two weekends ago, and it was a tough match,” Barringer said. “We’re looking forward to tomorrow because it should be really competitive.”

Florida State will be a difficult opponent for the Wolfpack — the Seminoles notched a 14-6 record this season and have three high-ranked players. State has two ranked singles players of its own, sophomore Lenka Hojckova and junior Berkeley Brock, at 94th and 118th, respectively.

The team closed out the regular season with a 5-2 loss at Virginia, a match in which Olsen saw some positive aspects of the team.

“The team is hot right now. We were looking for a match where everyone was on the same page on all the courts from start to finish, and the girls did a great job of that,” Olsen said.

Junior Daria Petrovic said she has seen some of the same determination from her team in recent matches.

“Recently, we’ve been fighting hard, staying focused and making every single moment count,” Petrovic said.

Barringer, the lone senior on the team, said she will be focused on making every moment count in her final ACC tournament.
