Sandra Garcia had 23 points to lead the Deacons (14-16, 5-9 ACC), who outscored the visitors 22-16 in overtime.
State (13-16, 4-10) lost any hope of going to the WNIT and will have to win the ACC tournament to get an automatic NCAA berth and extend its season past March 6.
Brittany Waters added 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Deacons, who got 18 from Chelsea Douglas, 15 from Brittany Waters and 13 from Lakevia Boykin. Mykala Walker had six points to go with her 10 rebounds.
