The Wolfpacker’s Tuesday Morning Newsstand
Following a 4-1 start to the season, NC State women’s basketball has dropped three spots to No. 13 in the Associated Press Women’s Basketball Poll. The fall is a reaction by the voters to the Wolfpack’s 91-69 loss to No. 3 UConn.
NC State started the year at No. 10 in the preseason AP ranking and maintained that position before the slight drop this week. The Cancun Challenge hosts the Pack this week for games against Vanderbilt and West Virginia before the program travels for another ranked showdown with No. 9 Iowa.
A total of five ACC programs are ranked this week, with Notre Dame, North Carolina and Louisville all checking into the top-10 of the poll.
