Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Although both NC State and Virginia are ACC members, this game will not count in the conference standings. The schools scheduled it as a non-conference game because they otherwise meet every two or three years due to it not being a protected matchup.
  2. ^ Game also aired on NBC at the end of the USC at UCLA women's volleyball game.
