TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Fifth-ranked NC State women’s tennis (11-2, 4-1 ACC) takes down Florida State (7-6, 2-3 ACC) 6-1 Sunday afternoon after winning on all six singles courts.
Despite dropping the doubles point to the Seminoles, the Wolfpack turned momentum around to dominate singles play. Diana Shnaider and Alana Smith shutout Allen and Motosono 6-0 on court one to get the only doubles win for the team. While Nell Miller and Amelia Rajecki on court two as well as Sophie Abrams and Abigail Rencheli on court three each fell 4-6 in tough matches.

With the Pack in the lead 2-1, Smith handled business on court two after finishing 6-1, 6-3 to extend the lead to three.
