NC State women’s tennis secured two more places in the 2026 NCAA Individual Championships at the ITA Carolina Regional. Lavinia Tanasie won the program’s first regional singles title, while Victoria Osuigwe and Roisin Gilheany claimed the doubles crown. Amelie Smejkalova also won the consolation singles bracket.

By the Numbers
  • 3 Wolfpack players or pairs have qualified for this fall’s NCAA individual championships.
  • Tanasie beat three ranked opponents on her way to the singles title: No. 58 Alexis Nguyen, No. 23 Kaitlyn Carnicella and No. 33 Tanasie was ranked entering the tournament.
Yes, But

NC State’s regional success came alongside early exits for some teammates: Osuigwe lost in singles, and the Wolfpack’s other doubles teams did not advance past the quarterfinals. The team still has another opportunity to add NCAA qualifiers.

What’s Next

The Wolfpack will compete at the ITA Sectional Championships Nov. 6-9, its final opportunity to qualify for the NCAA Individual Championships.

Bottom Line

Tanasie’s historic singles title and Osuigwe and Gilheany’s doubles victory give NC State two more NCAA contenders—and leave the Wolfpack one last chance to expand its national-championship field.
