The Basics of the Matchups
- Friday's meeting with the Canes will be the 22nd all-time. The two programs have split the last 10 meetings with Miami winning two of the last three. When playing four sets, the Pack is 3-6 against the Canes and 1-2 when playing five sets.
- In the last meeting in Coral Gables, then sophomore Ava Brizard led the Pack with 19 kills, while Courtney Bryant added 15.
- Sunday's tilt with the Florida State will be the 54th all-time. The Seminoles lead the series 46-7 and have won seven of the last 10 meetings. Since the rally scoring era began in 2001, the Wolfpack is 0-10 when playing four sets against the Seminoles and 2-2 when playing five.

Down to the Wire
- With just eight matches left in the 2024 regular season, the Wolfpack looks to continue to build a resume that would earn it a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Despite having an RPI that should have gotten NC State into the tournament, the Pack was marked "first four out" in 2023 due to not enough quad-one wins.
- The Pack checked in at 39 in this week's RPI rankings, 46 in the KPI, and 40 in the strength of schedule report.
- Out of the eight remaining games in ACC play, the Pack will face a ranked opponent in at least four of them -- Miami received votes in this week's poll.
