The Pack is back. Over the weekend, NC State’s women’s basketball team faced off against Notre Dame at Reynolds Coliseum, beating the then-No. 1 team 104-94 in double overtime. The Pack’s win put the team back in the top 10 at No. 9 in the AP poll. The win also marks the first time NC State has won at home over a No. 1 competitor since 1978.
Zoe Brooks and Aziaha James showed great strides on the court — Brooks scored a career high of 33 points and 10 rebounds. James scored 20 points, making a notable layup shot while avoiding a steal from Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles.
NC State handed the Fighting Irish their first loss in ACC play and kept alive their chances of sharing the regular season title. The Wolfpack will need to win their final two games and hope Notre Dame loses again.
