Wake Forest was the first opponent to score on Loyola Marymount this season.
??It was a tremendous game. Loyola Marymount is a super opponent and I will be surprised if they don??t make the NCAA tournament,?? stated Coach da Luz. ??There was a fine line between our victory tonight and us being down 2-0. I think we turned it around at the end of the first half and continued to work hard during the second. We made some ??blue-collar?? efforts tonight and worked hard for every goal. Alli Hunt was all over the field and performed well. A.B. Robbins and Melissa Murray-Hobbs played perfectly throughout the game. Katherine Winstead and Erin Regan continue to perform for us as well.??
Wake Forest will play in the last game of the adidas Invitational on Sunday, September 15. The game will take place at Spry Stadium at 1:00 pm.
