As the No. 8 NC State women’s basketball team comes off of a win against Virginia, the undefeated Pack will take on Virginia Tech in Reynolds Coliseum Sunday.
The Wolfpack (17-0, 4-0 ACC) dominated Virginia with a 28-point win this past Sunday. The Pack was led by junior forward Erika Cassell, who played 23 minutes and scored 15 points. Closely following Cassell was graduate guard Kiara Leslie who scored 12 points in 32 minutes.
Seeking its 18th win in a row, the Pack will play the unranked Hokies (13-3, 0-3 ACC) who just recently dropped a game to Virginia. The Hokies were led by Taylor Emery who scored 26 points against the Cavaliers.
While it looks promising for the Wolfpack, this will not be an easy win; the Hokies were undefeated up until conference play this year. Each of their three losses have been significantly close and a loss against a ranked Syracuse team went to overtime.
The Wolfpack will need to continue working together as a team and looking to Cassell and Leslie to put points on the board. Tipoff against Virginia Tech is 12:30 p.m. on Sunday.
