Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC played a reduced schedule in 2020 and the NCAA Tournament was postponed to 2021. [1] [2] The ACC did not play a spring league schedule, but did allow teams to play non-conference games that would count toward their 2020 record in the lead up to the NCAA Tournament. [3]

The Wolfpack did not play in the fall season. [4] However, they did resume play for the spring non-conference season. [5]

The Wolfpack finished the spring season 5–3–1 and did not receive an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. Their non-invitation broke a four-year streak of being invited to the tournament.

Previous season

The Wolfpack finished the season 12–7–4, 4–2–4 in ACC play to finish in fifth place.
