N.C. State’s senior night sets the stage for a high-stakes showdown as Ohio State comes to town, with both teams looking to bolster their NQS. The Wolfpack is aiming to bounce back from a rough meet and post a strong 196+ to properly celebrate sixth-year standout Chloe Negrete’s final home appearance.
