NC State men’s tennis coach Kyle Spencer has seen a lot in his seven years at the helm of the Wolfpack. He took over a program that won just four ACC matches the year before he was hired, and quickly helped guide the Pack into the ITA top-30.  While that quick turnaround was among the best in all of college tennis, it was just the beginning of what he was looking to build in Raleigh. Soon enough, the former Olympian’s consistency on the hard courts helped turn NC State into one of the top powers in the ACC, one of the sports top conferences at the collegiate level.  Spencer helped raise the standards throughout his first half dozen years in Raleigh, including four NCAA Tournament victories, but this spring was different. NC State wasn’t just the team that was happy to chase the top of the league. Instead, it wanted to knock the traditional ACC powers off from their pedestal to create the Wolfpack as one of the teams to be reckoned with.  And, well, he engineered an NC State team to do just that. NC State’s 2025 campaign was one that rewrote the record books. The Pack’s men’s tennis squad, which is The Wolfpacker’s men’s team of the year, finished the season ranked No. 7, the program’s highest-ever campaign-ending mark.
