#15 seed NC State defeated Marshall 2–0 this evening in Raleigh in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The victory was sweet revenge, knocking out the Thundering Herd, who eliminated the Wolfpack in last year’s Sweet 16.
With tonight’s win over Marshall, NC State is headed to the Sweet 16 for the second straight year and the sixth time in program history.
Junior Donavan Philip got the party started, scoring his 16th goal of the season on an assist from freshman Riley Moloney less than two minutes into the game (1:52).
Who better to get us started than Phillip?
