WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.--The Wake Forest University Demon Deacon field hockey team opened the 1999 season Saturday with a 7-1 win over the Radford Lady Highlanders here at Kentner Stadium.
Radford grabbed the lead early when Laura Morrow scored a goal with 30:15 to go in the first half. Wake answered to tie the score on a goal by freshman Jemima Cameron at the 26:15 mark. Cameron gave the Deacons the lead for good six minutes later when she scored her second goal of the game.
