NC State earns its third five-set win of the season, while Arkansas was denied its first five-set victory of the year. The Wolfpack’s win also snapped the Razorbacks three-match win streak.
Third-year Wolfpack head coach Linda Hampton-Keith led her team to victory in a matchup that pitted her against her former head coach Jason Watson, whom she served as an assistant coach for five seasons at Arizona State prior to taking over the program at NC State.
The Pack moves to 6-3 on the year, while the Razorbacks fall to 6-3.
