RALEIGH – The Wolfpack softball team defeated USC-Upstate, 2-0, Tuesday evening at Dail Stadium.
The Pack was defensively paced by freshman pitcher Rylee Wyman who recorded her first career shutout in her first complete game. Wyman finished the evening with three strikeouts and only walked one. The shutout is the second for the Pack this season and the first by a freshman since 2019.
The two teams went scoreless through the top of the fifth, but both teams recorded hits throughout. Graduate center fielder Rebecca Murray tallied the Pack's first hit of the evening in the bottom of the first with a single up the middle.
The Spartans got runners into scoring position in both the third and fourth inning, but were unable to cross home and take a lead.
Sophomore Hannah Goodwin led the Pack offensively as she recorded a double down the right line in the bottom of the third before drilling a ball over the centerfield wall in the bottom of the fifth. The home run brought in two runs and was the sixth of the season for the third baseman.
Goodwin's homer was only the second off Spartan pitcher Alyssa Kelly this season.
In the top of the sixth, the Wolfpack recorded a double play as Peyton Darnell grounded to Goodwin at third. Goodwin then threw to Kaylee Lambrecht, who was covering second, to get Aime Johnson out before throwing to Haley Haislip at first to get Darnell out. The double play was the sixth for NC State this season.
In the bottom of the sixth, junior Gracie Roberts recorded her first career triple after she drilled a ball down the right line. She was unable to get home after the Spartans picked up the third out.

The Pack returns to Dail Stadium to host No. 8 Clemson for the fifth ACC series of the season. Play begins Friday April 14 at 6pm on ACCNX.
