Travel halfway down the cart path and campus emerges. Splitting the dichotomy of Lonnie Poole\u2019s quaint, rustic layout nustled away in the shadows of the hustle-and-bustle in North Carolina\u2019s state capital.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though no mystic creatures emerged from the arboraceous boundaries, the Wolfpack came out strong. Spectators, players and the general public alike represented in NC State\u2019s notable fire red from head to toe. Raleigh natives, passionate State fans or simply claiming a souvenir from the pro shop, the Wolfpack logo was splattered around the course in the form of memorabilia and merchandise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting aside the anticipation and excitement of exploring campus and the city, the field of 49 locked in for 18 holes of Division I challenge at the first round of the 2019 PKBGT Wolfpack Classic.

She jumped out to a strong start, making the turn at two-under-par.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One stroke behind Sinclair, <\/span><b>Nicole Nash <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Charlotte, NC 2023) posted a stifling 72 (E).
