The Wolfpack set multiple program records, including 15 three-pointers and a 34-point margin of victory, in their dominant home finale.

NC State defeated Michigan State 83-49 in the NCAA Women's Tournament second round, securing a spot in the Sweet 16 for the sixth time in 12 seasons under coach Wes Moore.
The team set a program record with 15 three-pointers, led by Aziaha James, who scored 26 points and hit six shots from beyond the arc.
Seniors Madison Hayes and Saniya Rivers delivered standout performances in their final home game, combining for 34 points, with Hayes hitting five three-pointers and Rivers recording 11 assists.
