The #16 NC State Women’s Soccer team kicked off their 2018 season last night with a 2-1 victory over Navy on the road.

Preseason All-ACC selection, JR Tziarra King (1st Team All-ACC in 2017), scored both of the Wolfpack’s goals. Navy put the first goal in the net at the 34 minute mark, but King tied things up 69th minute on an assist from Taylor Porter. Four minutes later, King once again scored the game winning goal, this time on an assist from Maddie Kline.
