Boston College 57,  NC State 76

NC State's record now stands at a perfect 10-0 and 5-0 in league play. The Pack is one of just two teams in the nation (Texas A&M) to reach 10 wins on the 2020-21 campaign thus far, and it is the squad's third year in a row winning its first 10 outings.

Elissa Cunane led the way with a season-high 24 points in what was her third 20+ point performance of the year. The junior went a perfect 9-of-9 from the field, a success rate that ranks as the best single-game shooting performance by a Wolfpack player in Reynolds Coliseum and is among the best shooting outings in program history. Cunane added eight rebounds, a career-high three steals and two blocks to her stellar afternoon.
