    RALEIGH, N.C. - Coming off a pair of 6-1 victories on its first road trip of the season last weekend in Charleston, S.C., the NC State women's tennis team returns home for a pair of non-conference matches this Friday and Sunday against Winthrop and Long Beach State.

    The Wolfpack will host Winthrop at 4 p.m., Friday, before welcoming Long Beach State at 10 a.m., Sunday morning. Both matches will be held in the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. 

    NC State (4-0) defeated East Carolina and UNC Greensboro by 7-0 margins at home in its first two matches, before recording a pair of 6-1 road victories at Charleston Southern and College of Charleston last weekend.

    WEEKEND MATCH NOTES:

    • NC State’s 4-0 record is its best start to a season since 2006.
    • The Wolfpack owns a combined 22-2 dual singles mark this spring, and is undefeated at all six spots in the lineup, with the exception of the No. 2 spot.
    • Junior and 40th-ranked Joelle Kissell is 4-0 at the No. 1 spot, while sophomore Elisha Hande and senior Chloe Smith own the same records in the No. 5 and No. 6 spot, respectively.
