RALEIGH – The NC State women's basketball team cruised to a comfortable exhibition win over visiting Wingate University Sunday, winning 72-37 in its lone tune-up game ahead of the 2015-16 season.
Fifteen of NC State's 16 student-athletes took to the court in the win, with all six freshmen and redshirt freshman Sara Boric earning minutes. The Wolfpack was led in scoring by a strong performance from redshirt junior Dominique Wilson, who scored 18 points on 6-10 shooting from the field which included a 4-8 mark from distance. Freshman Kaila Ealey grabbed a game high 12 rebounds and junior Miah Spencer dished out a game high seven assists.
Sunday's game marked the first of 14 this season which will be played at Broughton High School's Holliday Gymnasium while NC State's home arena—Reynolds Coliseum—undergoes a $35 million renovation which is scheduled to be completed in August 2016. Two NC State games—Nov. 13 vs. Villanova and Nov. 17 vs. Radford—will be played at PNC Arena in Raleigh.
"I'm really pleased with the intensity we showed today," NC State head coach Wes Moore said. "We got a lot a players some minutes and I think they maximized their opportunities. We still have a lot of things to clean up and this is really your last dress rehearsal from here on out because they all count, and they are all big."
Fast Facts
-NC State scored 29 points off 23 Wingate turnovers.
-The Wolfpack pulled down 62 rebounds.
-NC State recorded 18 assists and 18 steals.
-Of the 15 NC State players to take the court, 13 scored at least two points.
NC State got off to a fast start, taking a 22-8 lead by the end of the first quarter. The Wolfpack used a 12-0 run over the course of 3:41 to go firmly in front early. Wingate pulled within 13 points early in the second quarter on a made layup by Morgan McGee, but would come no closer throughout the rest of the contest.
"It was great to get some of the young players out there and let them run around with the lights on and the popcorn popping, and get used to a game situation" Moore added. "We've got a big opponent coming in Friday night (Villanova) and obviously, with 22 wins a year ago and being picked third in the Big East, we will have our hands full.
"That said, it's also a great opportunity to come out and compete against a very good team. We're looking forward to that."
NC State and Villanova will officially begin the 2015-16 season on Friday, Nov. 13 at PNC Arena. Tipoff is set for 5 p.m. and the game will broadcast live on ESPN3.
