To get to get to the Sweet 16, N.C. State redshirt junior Kiara Leslie will have to knock out the school she graduated from.
Leslie and the No. 4 seed Wolfpack won their first-round NCAA tournament game 62-35 over No. 13 Elon Friday at Reynolds Coliseum, setting up Sunday's second-round game against No. 5 Maryland (26-7), which won the early game, 77-57 over No. 12 Princeton.
When Leslie — the younger sister of former Wolfpack men's player C.J. — committed to Maryland out of Holly Springs High, she chose the Terrapins over in-state ACC programs like State.
