CORAL GABLES, Fla. – No. 3 NC State women’s tennis checked off its first action of 2023 this past weekend as seven Wolfpack members participated in the Miami Spring Invite from Friday through Sunday.
Over the three days, NC State competed against members from No. 1 Texas, No. 20 Vanderbilt and the ACC host Miami. In addition to securing 10 singles victories, each of the doubles pairs representing the Wolfpack also picked up at least one win. The dynamic doubles pair coming into the season, No. 8 Miller and Rajecki went undefeated for the weekend.
The tournament showcased new members, as transfer Gina Dittmann and freshmen Chloe Henderson and Anna Zyryanova represented the Wolfpack in their spring debuts. 2022 NCAA doubles champion Nell Miller, All-American Abigail Rencheli, Sophie Abrams and Amelia Rajecki all brought a wealth of returning experience as well.
Coming off her favorable fall play, Rajecki did not see a loss the entire weekend as she participated in singles and doubles. Miller, her doubles partner, also was a dominant force as she only faced one loss across both categories.
NC State officially kicks off dual action as it travels to Columbia, S.C. this weekend and faces off against South Carolina on Saturday, Jan. 21 at 1 p.m.
