The first No. 1 seed in the women's NCAA tournament has fallen.

No. 3 NC State took down No. 1 Texas in the Elite Eight 76-66 Sunday, sending the Wolfpack to the Final Four for the second time in program history and the first time since 1998.

NC State star Aziaha James propelled her team to the win behind a dominant 27-point performance, and four other Wolfpack players were in double figures.

After the win, those on social media were shocked by the upset, praising NC State for being the first team to take down a No. 1 seed.

Now, NC State will get a matchup with No. 1 South Carolina. The Gamecocks are undefeated and have been dominant all year. The Wolfpack showed they are capable of going toe to toe with a No. 1 seed on Sunday, and now they're looking for another upset to advance to the national championship game.
