WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Senior goalkeeper Carolyn Huddy tallied two saves, but UNCW was unable to keep its unbeaten streak alive as NC State posted a 2-0 non-conference victory over the Seahawks at UNCW Soccer Stadium on Sunday afternoon. 

Junior forward Jackie Stengel and freshman midfielder Tziarra King each scored a goal as the Wolfpack improved to 4-2-0 on the season with their third consecutive win. UNCW, which suffered its first loss, dropped to 4-1-1 on the season. 
 
Stengel gave NC State an early 1-0 lead in the 18th minute when she converted a crossing pass from Kristina Schuster for her team-high fifth goal of the season.
  King upped the advantage to 2-0 midway through the second half when she connected on a long shot from 25 yards to score her third goal of the year.
 
Led by six saves from sophomore goalkeeper Sydney Wootten, the Wolfpack limited UNCW to a season-low 11 shots en route to the shutout win.
