The NC State women's soccer squad continued its unbeaten run on August 30, 2026, defeating Davidson 6-1 and extending their flawless start to six straight wins.
A Lightning‑Fast Opening
Freshman forward Madison Casteen opened the scoring just 2 minutes and 17 seconds after kickoff, marking the quickest goal of the season and setting an early tone for the team.
Senior forward Jade Bordeleau responded with a second career hat trick, showcasing the depth of talent on the roster and adding three more goals to the tally.
Dominance in the First Half
The Wolfpack surged ahead with four goals before the break, establishing a season‑high first‑half output and putting pressure on the opposition early.
With 22 goals scored in just six games, the team has already eclipsed the total offensive production from the entire previous season, which ended with 19 goals.
Reflections from the Coaching Staff
Head coach Gary Higgins referenced last year’s narrow loss to Davidson, emphasizing the squad’s growth, resilience, and the pride he feels in their current trajectory.
Looking Ahead
After a brief rest, NC State will travel to face Western Carolina on September 3. The upcoming matchup is a rematch from last season, where the Wolfpack fell despite outscoring the Catamounts.
