Random 80’s at bat (Greg Maddux vs Kevin Mitchell in 1986).

END 1Q: NC State 20, Davidson 4 Pierre: 9 points, 4 rebounds

Pierre is back in for the Wolfpack. She probably just had the wind knocked out of her. Pack by 15

NC State 28, Davidson 18 -- 4:23, 2Q

HALFTIME: NC State 34, Davidson 22 The Wolfpack took 15 shots in the second quarter. Nine of them were from three-point range, with NCSU only making two. Pierre: 11 points, 6 rebounds

Davidson cuts the Wolfpack's lead to seven. That is as close as it has been in a bit. Trygger answers. Davidson scores inside. Now it's down to four. NC State will not stop shooting threes, and they aren't making them. NC State 43, Davidson 39 -- 3:27, 3Q

Pierre has to touch the ball regularly on NC State's offensive sets. Good things tend to happen for the Wolfpack when she does.

END 3Q: NC State 49, Davidson 46 Pierre: 17 points, 8 rebounds

Zoe Brooks has now eclipsed the 1,000-point scored mark at NC State.

Davidson has cut NC State's lead to one. The Wolfpack simply will not stop shooting threes. NC State is 3/17 on treys. Pierre scores. Interior play works for NCSU. Pack by 3.

NC State 62, Davidson 59 -- 1:23 remaining

Of course, it was a Zam three-pointer. The Wolfpack, absolutely wretched from behind the arc all day, get a massive 3 from Jones to beat the shot clock and double the NCSU lead. NC State 65, Davidson 59 -- 33.1 seconds left

NC State 67, Davidson 59 -- 28.8 seconds left

A solid New York Met. I’ve got no complaints and wish McNeil well.
