Alexis Bryant (5-5-1, .795 save pct, 1.50 GAA) and Alexandra Johnson (4-1, .844 save pct, 0.87 GAA) have split time in goal.

Series History
• Wake Forest trails Boston College in the all-time series, 6-5, but leads Syracuse, 2-0-1.
• Last year, the Demon Deacons took down Boston College in a back-and-forth affair, 4-3. Sarah Teegarden scored a pair of goals and Wake Forest turned a 3-2 second-half deficit into a lead with goals from Ally Haran and Riley Ridgik in the second half.
• Wake Forest and Syracuse battled to a scoreless tie a year ago. The Deacs out-shot the Orange 16-7, but SU keeper Courtney Brosnan made eight saves.
Fountain of Youth
• Wake Forest had an extremely young team a year ago, starting at least seven underclassmen and at least four freshmen in every game.
• That hasn't changed in 2015. At least eight underclassmen have started in every game but one, with three or more freshmen starting in every game but two.
• Eight different freshmen have started at least one game this season.
• Wake Forest has started more than one senior in a game twice this season; in seven games, there have been zero senior starters.
