RALEIGH, N.C.– The No. 22 NC State men's tennis team (15-9, 6-4 ACC) will play its final road match of the regular season Wednesday afternoon as it makes the short trip to Durham, N.C. to take on No. 49 Duke. First serve from the Ambler Tennis Stadium is set for 3 p.m., and admission to the match is free.
The Wolfpack women's tennis team will also be in action in Durham on Wednesday, with its match against the Blue Devils set to start at 6 p.m. after the conclusion of the men's match.
LAST TIME OUT:
The Pack wrapped up a weekend of action on the road by cruising to the 4-0 victory over Clemson. It marked the team's sixth victory in a row over the Tigers and was the ninth time overall and third time in ACC play that NC State has blanked its opponent.
After jumping out to leads on all three doubles courts, NC State took the doubles point in dominant fashion as Igor Saveljic and Ivan Saveljic won 6-0 on court two and Tadas Babelis and Georgiy Malyshev clinched with a 6-1 victory on court three.
Yannai Barkai, Alexis Galarneau and Robert Turzak each added straight-sets singles wins to put the final score at 4-0 in favor of the Pack.
PACK IN THE POLLS:
NC State maintained its spot in the top 25 of the national team rankings as it checked in at No. 22 in the latest release of the Oracle/ITA poll. The team has been ranked in the top 25 in each of the last three sets of rankings.
Galarneau was tabbed No. 23 in the singles rankings, making that four polls in a row that the Wolfpack junior has been featured in the top 25.
Galarneau and Michael Ogden continued to make a rise in the doubles standings as they earned a No. 44 ranking.
SCOUTING THE BLUE DEVILS:
Duke comes into Wednesday's matchup on a three-match winning streak after picking up a win at Louisville on March 31 and defeating No. 22 Notre Dame and Boston College at home last weekend. The Blue Devils are 10-11 overall on the season and own a 4-6 clip in ACC play. Three of the Blue Devils's wins this season have come against opponents that were nationally ranked at the time of competition, and Duke is 7-2 in matches played at home.
The Blue Devils re-entered the Oracle/ITA rankings and check in at No. 49 as a team. Just one Duke player is ranked in singles action, as Nick Stachowiak owns the No. 99 spot in the nation.
UP NEXT:
The Pack makes its return to Raleigh as it concludes regular-season action on Friday when it hosts Miami at the J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center. First serve is set for 4 p.m., and the Senior Day ceremony will take place immediately following the match.
