RALEIGH, N.C. -- Elon is staying close to home to open the NCAA Tournament.
It's even better for North Carolina State -- the Wolfpack will be at home.
The teams will clash in a rematch from the regular season in a first-round game in the NCAA Women's Tournament on Friday afternoon at Reynolds Coliseum.
"We know (our fans) make it a great homecourt advantage," N.C. State coach Wes Moore said. "I know we'll be ready to play."
For No. 21 N.C. State (24-8), landing a home bid was among the goals after the Wolfpack was denied that opportunity last year and ended up as a No.
