WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Wake Forest women's soccer team looks to close the month of August with a perfect 4-0 record on Sunday, when it plays hosts to Loyola (Md.) at 1 p.m. at Spry Stadium.
The Demon Deacons have gotten off to an impressive 3-0 start to the 2009 season.

Senior goalkeeper Laura Morse recorded her first shutout of the season against the Seahawks. Morse made four saves and lowered her goals against average on the season to 0.37.
Loyola (Md.) enters Sunday's match with a 1-0 record. The Greyhounds will face High Point on Friday night, before battling the Deacs on Sunday.
Loyola opened the 2009 season with a 1-0 victory against Mount St. Mary's. Freshman Tessa McClenahan's first collegiate goal was the game-winner in the season opener for the Greyhounds.
Theresa Ferraina is the leading returning scorer from the 2008 Loyola team. Ferraina scored nine goals and added eight assists last season.
The Greyhounds are coached by Katherine Remy Vittori, who is the sister of former Wake women's soccer play Elizabeth Remy. Remy was a four-year letterwinner at Wake Forest, playing from 2003-06.
