SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Riley Ridgik scored the eventual game-winner in the 10th minute as No. 9 Wake Forest held Syracuse off the board to post a 1-0 victory on Sunday afternoon in Syracuse, N.C.
Wake Forest's win in the first-ever meeting between the two teams moved the Deacons to 8-2-1 (3-2-1 ACC), while Syracuse dropped to 4-7-1 (0-5-1 ACC).
Ridgik headed home a Megan Curan cross for her sixth goal of the year, tying her for the team lead with Katie Stengel. Curan's assist was her first as a Demon Deacon after transferring from Gardner-Webb for the 2013 season.
Aubrey Bledsoe made three saves in net to earn her fifth shutout of the season and the 30th of her career.
The Demon Deacons outshot the Orange 8-5 and led 5-2 in corner kicks.
Wake Forest will play the final match in a four-game road stretch on Thursday when it travels to take on Notre Dame. The Deacons will then have more than a week off before hosting Virginia on Oct. 12.
