CARY, N.C. -- The No. 1 North Carolina women's tennis team (29-1) fell to No. 5 NC State (23-4) 4-1 in the ACC Championship match.

The doubles match of No. 16 Brantmeier/Scotty (UNC) vs. No. 5 Shnaider/Smith (NCST) went unfinished (5-4), as NC State claimed the point.

Singles was a battle, with matches going back and forth seeing leads shift for both quads. State took the 2-0 lead, as No. 29 Amelia Rajecki (NCST) defeated No. 21 Carson Tanguilig (UNC) 6-3, 6-1.
