Hi all - Located in Western NC -- have seen a couple of these in my crawl space - this one is about silver dollar sized...is it a wolf spider?

Thanks!

Not a wolf spider (family Lycosidae), but a close relative in the family Pisauridae (nursery web/fishing spiders). This appears to be a dark fishing spider, Dolomedes tenebrosus - see http://tinyurl.com/25dmpk9 for an image.
