The NC State men’s tennis team has released its schedule for the 2023 season, as announced by head coach Kyle Spencer on Wednesday.
The full match schedule has been posted on GoPack.com, and times for each match will continue to be announced as soon as they are finalized. Home matches for the Wolfpack are held at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center and the Andy Andrews Indoor Stadium and are free to attend.

HEARING FROM OUR HEAD COACH
“We always aim to set one of the toughest schedules in the country that will allow us to be prepared for ACC play. Year after year the ACC is known as an elite league for Men’s Tennis and this year is no different. I couldn’t be more excited for our team to face these challenges and welcome the RDU tennis community and our NC State students out to our matches at the JW Isenhour Tennis Center and the Andy Andrews Indoor Stadium to see some of the nations finest teams compete against the Wolfpack.”
