By David Rieder.<\/em><\/p>\n

When North Carolina State hosted Virginia on Jan. 28 in the final dual meet of the regular season for both teams, the Wolfpack women were looking for an upset win over the dominant power of the ACC for the last decade. Yes, the Cavaliers were\u2014and still are\u2014the nine-time defending conference championships.<\/p>\n

But last season, the quickly-improving NC State women weren\u2019t that far back at ACCs (just over 150 points), and the team’s ninth-place finish at the NCAA championships was just four spots behind Virginia (fifth). It also marked the Wolfpack\u2019s highest national finish since 1982\u2014long before Braden Holloway<\/strong> took over as the program\u2019s head coach in 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think each year you want your program to get better and find a way to take the next step,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cWhen the women got runner-up to UVA [at ACCs] and then got top-ten at NCAAs, I think that put a new expectation on the women that they put on themselves. I think they started to believe that they could accomplish more for this year as soon as last year finished.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wolfpack women had continued to make strides during the 2016-17 season. After swimming in a pair of finals at Olympic Trials, Hannah Moore<\/strong> had been swimming like one of the top swimmers in the country over a wide range of events, while senior Alexia Zevnik<\/strong> was as consistent as ever in the backstrokes and sprint freestyles.<\/p>\n

In a dominant win over North Carolina the day before the UVA meet, Kayla Brumbaum<\/strong> had swum the best dual meet times of her career in both the 100 (59.79) and 200 breast (2:10.42), while two high profile additions\u2014freshman sprinter Ky-<\/strong>Lee Perry<\/strong> and sophomore backstroker Elise Haan<\/strong>, a transfer from Florida Gulf Coast\u2014had been prolific throughout the season.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Cavaliers got their best swimmer back after a whirlwind summer that twice took her to the Olympic podium. When Leah Smith<\/strong> returned to the pool this fall, Virginia head coach Augie Busch<\/strong> saw no Olympic hangover.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe took a few weeks off\u2014we gave her some time off in August and even in early September\u2014and she can compartmentalize really well,\u201d Busch said. \u201cI don\u2019t think she was stuck in the Olympic experience anymore after she came back full-bore, which was mid-September.\u201d<\/p>\n

Against NC State, the Cavaliers would have seniors Smith, Kaitlyn Jones<\/strong> and Laura<\/strong> Simon<\/strong>\u2014all individual ACC champions last season\u2014all competing in their final college dual meet. Still, Busch knew his team was in for a tough one.<\/p>\n

\u201c[NC State] gave us a good challenge last year,\u201d Busch said. \u201cI\u2019m very aware that their front line is formidable to the point where you could easily get knocked in a dual meet by them, and then they\u2019ve got more depth than they ever have and a great senior class,<\/p>\n

In that dual meet clash, NC State\u2019s explosive sprinters plus a hostile crowd at Casey Aquatic Center were out in full force. A pair of early wins for NC State\u2014a dominant effort in the 400 medley relay and Zevnik\u2019s touch-out win over UVA\u2019s Morgan Hill<\/strong> in the 200 free\u2014set the tone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t people they understand how much emotion our team competes with, and this is all year long,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cThey thrive off any type of momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n

But soon enough, UVA started to pile up the wins\u2014Smith won the 500 and 1000 free, as expected, and fellow Jones touched first in both butterflys\u2014but NC State\u2019s Moore picked up a huge win in the final individual event of the day when she beat Smith in the 400 IM.<\/p>\n

NC State was still down 143-140 and had to have a win in the 200 free relay to win the meet. But Perry promptly led off in a quick 22.23 to put the Wolfpack ahead by almost a full second, and there would be no comeback.<\/p>\n

Round one to the Wolfpack, but round two still to be determined at this week\u2019s ACC championships in Atlanta\u2014the meet that NC State has won twice ever (in 1979 and 1980) and the one that UVA has won each of the last nine years.<\/p>\n

Busch says that his staff has deliberately avoided mentioning the possibility of extending the conference winning streak to ten years, but he does admit that breaking into double digits would have some special meaning for the program.<\/p>\n

In order to pull it off, the Cavaliers have to move on from that dual meet loss quickly, with just 15 days\u2019 turnaround time from the dual meet to the first race in Atlanta. But Busch wants to make sure that his women don\u2019t forget how it felt to come up short that afternoon in Raleigh.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully it made them a little hungrier,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a dual meet, and if you are saying it\u2019s the best thing that could have happened to us, okay, I don\u2019t necessarily disagree with you, but those are empty words unless this ratchets up our focus, our hunger, our competitive edge. If it does those things, then I agree\u2014it could be a great thing that happened to us. If not, it\u2019s just empty words.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regardless of how this two-team race turns out, it\u2019s clear now that NC State\u2019s women have joined the school\u2019s men\u2019s program as among the best in the country. The Wolfpack men\u2019s quick ascendance, which has resulted in two straight conference championships and a fourth-place finish at last year\u2019s NCAAs, has been impressive, but Holloway believes that his women\u2019s team has actually made even greater strides since his staff took over in 2011.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think people give our women\u2019s team as much credit as they do the men,\u201d he said. Six years ago, our women were at the bottom. I actually think they\u2019ve probably improved more than the men have based on how far down they were. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s any different, the dynamics, from the men. The process has been a little behind, but it\u2019s been growing at the same rate.\u201d<\/p>\n
