CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The NC State volleyball team fell to 13th-ranked Miami in straight sets Wednesday afternoon in Miami.
The Canes began hot, taking a 4-1 lead over the Wolfpack. A kill by senior Courtney Bryant ended Miami's scoring run but the Canes responded with a 7-0 scoring run to force two early timeouts by head coach Megan Wargo-Kearney.
Miami continued to dominate and took the opening set, 25-11. Freshman middle blocker Talia Francom led the Pack with two kills and a block in the first.
The second set was a fresh start for the Wolfpack as it opened with a 4-0 scoring run, highlighted by two aces from redshirt-junior setter, Elaisa Villar.
Headed into the media timeout of set two, Miami led by three (15-12) and the Pack continued to battle but was unable to regain the lead. The Canes took the second set, 25-21. Three members of the Pack tallied three kills through two sets: Bryant, Francom, and freshman outside Rebecca Ring.
NC State called an early timeout in the third set after the Canes jumped out to a 4-0 lead. Miami would score 10 straight before the Pack picked up its first point. The Pack used its final timeout after Miami went up, 13-1. The Pack dropped set three, 5-25.
The Pack moves to 15-14 overall and 8-11 in conference action.
