Both the NC State women’s and men’s golf teams will be in competition at the ACC Championships this week, with both tournaments starting Thursday and wrapping up Saturday.

The Wolfpack women will head to Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, while the men will be competing at the Old North State Club in New London.

The NC State women’s team will enter the 12-team event as the nine seed, coming off of an eighth-place finish at last year’s championships. The Wolfpack will kick off competition Thursday morning, where it will be paired with seventh-seeded UNC-Chapel Hill and eighth-seeded Louisville.

The Pack has three set golfers in its tournament rotation, with three others fighting for the final two spots at ACCs. Seniors India Clyburn and Laura Kowohl will lead the way for the Pack, as the two have been NC State’s most consistent, reliable golfers throughout the year.

Kowohl has a team-best stroke average of 74.13 and is coming off her best finish of the season at the Bryan National Collegiate, which finished back on March 31. Kowohl tied for 12th with a threeround score of 1 over par at that event, and heads into ACCs playing strong golf. She has experience at the conference tournament, as she finished 12th at ACCs last year with a 3 over par. Clyburn is averaging an 18-hole score of 74.78 this year, and has two top-10 finishes to her name. Clyburn placed eighth at the Bryan National Collegiate with a 1 under par. At last year’s ACC Championships, Clyburn placed 23rd.

The Wolfpack’s other consistent starter is junior Mim Sangkapong, who is averaging a 75.91 this year. Like Clyburn and Kowohl, Sangkapong’s best finish came at the Bryan National Collegiate, where she finished 18th. For Sangkapong, this week will mark her first trip to ACCs.

The other two spots for the Pack women will be filled by either freshman Lea Klimentova, sophomore Monika Hartl or senior Naomi Ko. Hartl has been the strongest of the three this season, as her average score of 74.17 is the second best on the team. Hartl also has ACC experience, finishing tied for 47th last year.

Ko is averaging 75.64 strokes this sea-

Ko competed at ACCs last year, where she finished tied for 52nd, and her experience could make her the best option for the fifth and final spot.

Wolfpack travels to Wake for key ACC series

Will Thornhill

Correspondent

NC State baseball will head to the Triad for a pivotal three-game ACC series against Wake Forest starting Thursday.

Going into this game, the Wolfpack (308, 12-6 ACC) is in second place in the ACC Atlantic, trailing Louisville by one run after getting swept in Raleigh by the Cardinals last weekend. The Demon Deacons (21-16, 9-9 ACC) are currently sitting in fifth place in the ACC Atlantic and are coming off two series wins against Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh.

The Wolfpack ended its five-game losing streak Tuesday night against UNC-Wilmington, as the NC State bats exploded for 14 runs. Unfortunately, the win may have come at a cost.

In the second inning, junior shortstop Will Wilson hit a two-run home run, but as he was rounding first base he collided with UNC-Wilmington’s first baseman and was unable to round the bases. He was forced out of the game and his status for this weekend is unknown.

Wilson is NC State’s second-leading hitter with a .340 batting average and is the team leader in home runs with 13. If Wilson is unable to go this weekend, look for freshman Vojetch Mensik to move to shortstop from third base, sophomore David Vazquez to move from second base to third base and sophomore J.T. Jarrett to be inserted in the starting lineup to play second base.

Senior first baseman Evan Edwards, sophomore catcher Patrick Bailey and freshman center fielder Tyler McDonough will all look to stay hot, especially if Wilson is unable to go. Edwards leads the team in batting average at .348 and in RBIs at 48. Bailey, the powerful switch-hitter, is currently batting .336 and leads the team in doubles with 14. McDonough, also a switch-hitter, has been a great addition to the Wolfpack this season, batting .333 on the season for the Wolfpack.

The NC State pitching staff allowed a total of 34 runs in their three-game set with Louisville last weekend and will look for junior Jason Parker, who has been NC State’s number one weekend starter all year, to bounce back from a rough start last weekend. In his worst start of the season, Parker allowed 10 earned runs on 13 hits in five innings of work.

Sophomore Reid Johnston, who has established himself as the number two starter for NC State, also will be looking to bounce back from a rough weekend. In game two of the doubleheader last weekend, Johnston only made it through 3.1 innings while giving up nine earned runs on ten hits.

A major problem in last weekend’s series was early deficits; the Wolfpack at one point trailed by eight runs in game one and game two of the series against Louisville. If the Wolfpack can get good performances from its starting pitchers, look for the Wolfpack offense to feed off that energy and score plenty of runs off the Wake Forest pitchers which have a team ERA of 5.88.

The Demon Deacons will be lead by Patrick Frick, who holds the second-highest batting average in the ACC at .391. Fellow teammates Bobby Seymour and Chris Lanzilli own averages at .373 and .344, respectively. It will be big for the NC State pitchers if they can keep these three from having productive weekends, as they account for 132 RBIs as a trio.

Colin Peluse has been the leading pitcher for Wake Forest this season, posting a 5.82 ERA in 51 innings pitched. Look for Peluse, Morgan McSweeney and Jared Shuster to all pitch significant innings this weekend for the Demon Deacons.

The three-game series will begin Thursday night at 6 p.m. at David F. Couch Ballpark in Winston-Salem, with game two Friday night at 6 p.m. and game three at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

NC State’s track and field team will enter the UVA Challenge and Duke Invitational April 18-20.

Some of the teams invited to the UVA Challenge are West Virginia, Wake Forest, VCU, Pitt, Michigan State and Ohio State.

Senior Javonne Antoine and sophomore Michelle Cobb are signed up for the women’s long jump at the UVA Challenge.

In the last meet at the Tennessee Relays, Antoine and Cobb placed in the top 10 in NC State history.

Other competitors signed up for this upcoming meet include senior Gabriele Cunningham for the women’s 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash as well as the 100-meter hurdles. Junior Grace Gaudin will be participating in the women’s shot put.

Freshman Alan Alvarez, senior Shannon Patterson and juniors Junpai Dowdy and Cravont Charleston finished fifth in the 4x100-meter relay during the Wolfpack’s previous meet.

All four members of the Pack are currently signed up for the men’s 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash for their upcoming meet.

Redshirt sophomore Tyson Fortenberry finished his last meet in the top 15 for men’s discus and will be competing in both the men’s shot put and discus.

The Wolfpack will begin the UVA Challenge and Duke Invitation Thursday and will conclude Saturday.

Softball falls in close matchup to Elon

NC State softball fell to Elon 5-4 Wednesday afternoon after scoring two runs in the top of the seventh in hopes to take the game.

Starting it off in the first, Elon smashed a pitch from freshman Sydney Nester over the left-field wall to put the Phoenix up 1-0. This was the only scoring opportunity for Elon until the fifth inning came around.

Freshman April Visser started off the Pack in the second inning by smashing her third homer of the year to center field to tie up the match. Junior Brigette Nordberg followed closely behind as she brought in the leading run with a double down the left-field line, putting NC State on top 2-1 over the Phoenix.

With runners on second and third with no outs in the bottom of the fifth, Elon was threatening to take the lead. Nester sported her third strikeout of the day by sitting down the next batter, but a single down the left-field line to tie it up 2-2.

Junior Devin Wallace came in to relieve Nester with the score tied 2-2 with runners on the corners and one out. A ground out to second put two away, but the leading run scored for the Phoenix. Not too long after, a run scored off a wild pitch, a walk and a double to left field gave Elon a three-run lead over the Pack heading into the top of the sixth.

The seventh inning was the Pack’s rally when a walk, hit-by-pitch and single loaded the bases with two away. Visser secured her third hit of the game when she brought in two runs to close up the lead from Phoenix by one. A fly out ended the threat to give the Wolfpack a 23-21 overall record on the season.

NC State will be back in action this weekend as it travels to Duke to compete in its next ACC series. First pitch is scheduled for Friday at 5 p.m.

Unlike the Wolfpack women, the NC State men have a clear-cut starting five heading into ACCs. NC State is seeded seventh in the 12-team field on the men’s side, and will be paired with No. 8 Florida State and No. 9 Virginia for the opening day of competition at the Old North State Club, the same course where the Pack placed eighth at last year’s ACCs.

Senior Stephen Franken is the Pack’s best golfer, with six top-10 finishes on the year and an average score of 70.72. Franken is coming off of his best event of the season at the Stitch Intercollegiate, where he finished first. Franken had the Pack’s best finish at ACCs last year, where he tied for sixth with a 10 under par.

Right behind Franken is junior Benjamin Shipp, who has two wins on the season and an average score of 70.72. Shipp placed 30th at ACCs last year, and has been a consistently good golfer all year. Sophomore Easton Paxton will also compete for the Pack at ACCs, and has the third-best average score on the team at 73.14. Like Franken, Paxton is coming off his best finish of the season at the Stitch Intercollegiate, where he tied for 15th. Paxton also has ACC experience, as he finished tied for 38th at last year’s ACC Championships.

Senior Harrison Rhoades finished alongside Paxton in 38th at ACCs last year, and is averaging 73.52 strokes per round this year. Rhoades’ best finish of the season came back in October, when he finished in 18th at the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate.

The Wolfpack men’s final golfer is the only one on the team without ACC Championships experience. Junior Christian Salzer is averaging 73.37 strokes per round, and has a top-10 finish on the year. He tied for ninth at the Bandon Dunes Championships in March, and will wrap up the members of the Pack likely to compete at ACCs.

While neither NC State team is likely to take home an ACC title this week, both squads have a great mixture of skill and experience, and could look to make some noise in a competitive field.

THE RESURRECTION HOAX

– OR –HISTORY?

“I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.” – Jesus Christ

After His death by crucifixion, Jesus was buried in a guarded tomb. On the third day Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome went to the tomb and found it empty. Jesus appeared to two on the road to Emmaus, He appeared to Peter, and was with the disciples on three different occasions. In all, Jesus was seen by more than 500 people after His resurrection. Christians don’t celebrate Easter simply because Christ was a good teacher. We celebrate Easter because Jesus rose from the dead and demonstrated His unique power to forgive sin and change us from the inside out. He stands alone in history. His incredible birth, perfect life, sacrificial death and powerful resurrection demonstrate God’s love for all people. Questions?
