WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest sophomore Sarah Kozey scored two goals and assisted on another as the Demon Deacon women's soccer team notched a 3-0 exhibition victory against Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon at Spry Stadium.
Kozey gave Wake Forest an early lead with a goal in the 14th minute. Her shot from the top of the penalty area barely floated over the goalline before a Virginia Tech defender blocked the ball. However, the referee's assistant was on top of the play and ruled it a goal.
Wake Forest took their one goal lead into locker room at halftime with a 9-3 edge in shots.
In the early stages of the second half, Kozey started the goal sequence, leaving the ball for senior A.B. Robbins on the left side of the penalty area. Robbins dropped a perfect ball at the feet of freshman Kaitlyn Doe in the penalty area who found the back of the net in the 57th minute.
Wake Forest put the finishing touches on the victory with Kozey's second goal of the night. Freshman Taylor Toombs assisted on the play in the 66th minute.
Wake Forest outshot the Hokies 15-7 for the game and committed only two fouls to Virginia Tech's 12.
The Deacons used three goalkeepers during the contest. Kenna Healy played the first half and made one save. Freshmen Alex Creswick and Lindsey Jaco shared time in the second half. Jaco made two stops while Creswick did not face a shot on goal.
Wake Forest opens its regular season next weekend in Storrs, Conn., with a pair of games against Big East opponents. The Deacons take on Connecticut on Friday night at 7:00 p.m. and then Notre Dame, Sunday at noon.
