DANCING AGAIN

NC State is making its fourth NCAA Championships appearance as a team and its first since 2015. Each player on the roster will be making their debut at the final national site. The Pack punched its ticket with a second-place finish at the Raleigh Regional on its home course after entering the 12-team regional seeded eighth. Head coach Page Marsh has guided NC State to every one of its 20 postseason appearances, with all of those coming in the last 21 seasons.

HISTORY MAKERS

After setting 18-hole (278, -10) and 54-hole (847, -17) program records earlier in the regular season, NC State put together a historic Raleigh Regional. The Pack opened the regional with a 282 first round, a postseason program record, and finished the week with a cumulative score of 861 (-3) for its second-best NCAA Tournament score of all time.

Wolfpack sophomore made history of her own with the best individual postseason performance in program history. She placed second at the event for the best regional finish by any NC State women’s golfer. Her finish came behind a career-low and program record-tying score of 208 (-8). All three of Olivares Leon’s scores at the event came in under par, highlighted by her setting the 18-hole (67, -5) individual

postseason program record in the opening round.
