Grade: B
The No. 19 Wolfpack only played three events during the fall and will have some room for improvement this spring. None of the starting five players averaged below 73.3 in six rounds and the team failed to crack the top-5 in the trio of opening tournaments that featured plenty of talented teams ranked ahead of State.
After breaking through for the program’s first top-25 ranking and first NCAA Tournament appearance, the autumn was a very small sample size. The once-young roster should regain its footing in the spring behind talented sophomore Augusta James and senior leader Amanda Baker. Starting in February, State begins a stretch of traveling to Puerto Rico, Florida, California, Louisiana and then back home to North Carolina.
