Clemson, S.C. – NC State Men’s Tennis Team Delivers a Powerful Performance!
The excitement was palpable as the NC State men’s tennis team, proudly ranked sixth in the nation, faced off against the #22 Clemson Tigers in a highly anticipated showdown. On their last away match of the regular season, the Wolfpack came out swinging, securing a convincing 4-1 victory that has fans cheering and celebrating.
On a Winning Streak!
With this impressive win, NC State’s record climbs to an outstanding 10-0 in conference action. This performance not only clinches another victory but also ties the program record for conference wins, previously set back in the 2024 season. Fans are now eagerly looking forward to see if the team can break this record, with three more matches against ACC rivals still ahead.
Doubles Drama Unfolds
As the match started, NC State faced a tough challenge in the doubles round. The Clemson squad managed to snag the points on courts two and three, which left NC State at a bit of a disadvantage. Although NC State’s players were leading on court one, the rain clouds rolled in and play was halted. But do not worry, Wolfpack supporters! The real magic happened when the singles matches began.
Singles Success!
Once the doubles drama ended, NC State’s singles players rose to the occasion and delivered a knockout performance, winning all four of their matches and ensuring Clemson could not gain any further points. Martin Borisiouk, respected for his skills and currently ranked #23, took the court by storm, winning his match in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-3—and did so without playing in the doubles round!
But the winning didn’t stop there! The dynamic duo of Luca Staeheli (#70) and Braden Shick (#26) followed suit, contributing to the team’s strong showing by also securing their own victories, each in straight sets. Excitingly, Staeheli and Shick both clinched wins against ranked opponents, adding even more firepower to NC State’s success during the match.
Looking Ahead
As the Wolfpack celebrates this notable achievement, fans eagerly anticipate the concluding matches of the regular season. On April 4, NC State will host Boston College, followed closely by a match against #61 SMU on April 6. This will be a day to remember, not only for the fierce competition but also for the special senior recognition that will take place for players Staeheli, Shick, and Fons Van Sambeek.
The Home Advantage
Both upcoming matches will take place at the prestigious Duckworth Family Tennis Facility, which, given the recent success, is expected to be filled to the brim with enthusiastic fans ready to cheer on their team. With so much at stake, including the chance to set a new program record for conference wins, the atmosphere is bound to be electric!
Final Thoughts
The NC State men’s tennis team is proving that they are a force to be reckoned with this season. Their blend of tactical skill, determination, and teamwork bodes well for the future of this remarkable program. As they charge toward the finish line, fans are reminded to keep their #PackTheDuckworth signs ready as they continue to rally behind their team. Go Wolfpack!
