• After playing its final road match of the season last week, Wake Forest comes home for its second-to-last game of the season on Wednesday against No. 22 North Carolina.
• Opening serve is slated for 1 p.m. at Reynolds Gymnasium.
Last Time Out
• The Demon Deacons dropped their final two road matches of the season at No. 20 Florida State and Miami last weekend, falling by scores of 3-1 and 3-0, respectively.
• The Deacs became the fourth team to win a set against Florida State in Tallahassee this season, joining current No. 19 Texas A&M, Miami and No. 15 Louisville.
• Freshman setter Rachel Burau had 59 assists in the two matches, while Kylie Long led the team in kills with 24. In addition to posting 16 kills and seven blocks in the two matches, Matalee Reed tied a career-best with four service aces against the Hurricanes.
Milestone Tracker
• Sophomore Caroline Wolf became moved up to eighth on Wake Forest's all-time digs list with 1,057. Her 534 digs on the season are the second-most in the ACC and put her 17 digs away from breaking Wake Forest's single-season digs record of 550 by Megan Thornberry in 2008.
• With a team-best 11 kills against Miami on Sunday, Kylie Long became the seventh Deacon to post a 400-plus-kill season and moved past Katie Horn's 400-kill season in 1998 for the 10th-most kills in one year in program history.
• Wolf was named the ACC Co-Player of the Week on Oct. 19 after racking up a career-best 42 digs at Notre Dame. That total was the second-most in a four-set match in ACC volleyball history, as well as the most in the NCAA in a four-set match in 2015.
