After the Diamond Heels dominated BC by a 10-0 mercy rule on Thursday, they soon realized what their matchup with NC State would mean.
Win or go home.
The two rivals will face off for the fourth time this season, two of which were won by the Diamond Heels. The way the ACC format is, the winner of their own pool will go on to the knockout stage.
Both UNC and NC State are 1-0 in their pool, meaning the winner will move on.
