NC State has back-to-back top-25 Directors’ Cup finishes for the first time in school history after finishing at No. 17 in 2021-22. That’s good enough for fifth-best among ACC schools, behind UNC, Notre Dame, UVA, and Florida State.
If the Wolfpack baseball team hadn’t been snubbed from the NCAA tournament, NC State would have finished at least 15th in the final Directors’ Cup standings, but whatever. Great year regardless.
NC State picked up its first team NCAA title since 1983 when the women’s cross country team took home the crown—that program’s third national title overall.
