College Park, Maryland - In a game which featured two of the top three offenses in the nation and two of the top five defenses, the No. 1 Wake Forest field hockey team added another victory to it's 28 game winning streak. The Deacs beat the Terps 3-1 in Sunday's contest.
Playing in front of a record crowd of over 1,000 fans at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex, the Deacs snapped the Terps' 10 game winning streak. The Demon Deacons remain undefeated on the season (9-0, 3-0 ACC).
The defending national champion Deacons lead 2-0 at halftime, after goals from Katie Ackerman and Ariel Meyers. Just over a minute into the second half, junior Kelly Dostal scored her ninth goal of the season, putting the Deacons up 3-0.
With only 4:09 left in the game, sophomore Amber McQuillan scored the only goal for the Terps.
Goalkeeper Katie Ridd posted six saves on the day, bringing her to 24 saves on the season. In the nine games this season, the Deacs have allowed only five goals.
Wake Forest has beaten the Terps in the last three meetings, but this is the first ever win for the Deacons in College Park.
The Demon Deacons host Boston University at home in Kentner Stadium on Saturday, October 4 at 1:00 pm.
