We’re back in Greensboro for more ACC Championship action! Tonight, No. 1 California, No. 2 Stanford, No. 3 N.C. State, and No. 4 UNC take the floor in the evening session, competing in a quad-meet format for the conference title.
California, ranked sixth nationally, enters as the favorite after an undefeated conference season and the ACC Regular Season title. The Bears lead the conference in team scores on every event and will look to cap off their dominant run with a championship win. Stanford, ranked 14th, has dropped both of its ACC losses to Cal but brings plenty of firepower, led by conference standouts Anna Roberts and Brenna Neault, who could help the Cardinal push the Bears.
Defending champion N.C. State is eager for a repeat, led by ACC Specialist of the Year Chloe Negrete and All-ACC honoree Ashley Knight. Meanwhile, UNC is having one of its strongest seasons yet. The Tar Heels feature standout routines from Lali Dekanoidze, ranked second in the ACC and eighth nationally on bars, and JoJo Valahovic, a four-time ACC Newcomer of the Week. Both were named to the 2025 All-ACC team.
With conference realignment shaking things up and N.C. State hungry to defend its title, tonight’s competition promises to be thrilling from start to finish!
