RALEIGH – Sophomore Dariyan Hopper recorded a match-high 17 kills to lead four players in double figures as NC State rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat UNCW, 3-2 (21-25, 22-25, 26-24, 25-16, 15-11), in collegiate volleyball action Tuesday at Reynolds Coliseum.
The Wolfpack improved to 9-1 overall as they extended their winning streak to four matches. The Seahawks, meanwhile, dipped to 6-5 on the season with the five-set setback.
“Tonight’s match was a heartbreaking loss after being ahead in the third set,” said UNCW Head Coach Amy Bambenek. “Our middles did a great job attacking and blocking tonight. Once we lost the momentum, it was hard to get back. Despite the outcome, I was very proud of the team’s effort tonight.”
