Wake Forest Takes On The Longhorns >>
• Wake Forest faces its highest-ranked opponent of the season so far as they take on No. 6 Texas in Austin on Sunday at 1 p.m.
• The Demon Deacons will look to avenge two close losses to the Longhorns last season. Wake Forest fell twice by 4-3 scores, once at the ITA Kickoff Weekend and once in Winston-Salem.
Last Time Out >>
• Last weekend, the Deacons swept a doubleheader for the third time this season, defeating No. 32 Oklahoma State and Norfolk State.
• Noah Rubin and ACC Player of the Week Romain Bogaerts both earned wins over top 100 opponents at the top of the lineup in the 5-2 win over the Cowboys.
• In the second match of the day, the Deacons swept Norfolk State 7-0, with Nick Osterling earning his first career victory in dual match play.
Storylines >>
• After going undefeated last weekend, Romain Bogaerts was named the ACC Player of the Week. He is the second Wake Forest player to win the award this season after Christian Seraphim did two weeks ago.
• Wake Forest leaped in the ITA national rankings to No. 12, its highest position since 2008 when the Deacons were No. 11.
• The doubles duo of Skander Mansouri and Christian Seraphim is enjoying a meteoric rise after downing two top 10 doubles teams. Mansouri and Seraphim now stand at No. 28 nationally, a 22 spot jump from the last ITA rankings.
• Riding a five match winning streak heading into the match against the Longhorns, the Demon Deacons went undefeated in the month of February.
Looking Ahead >>
• Wake Forest will return from Austin to take on the No. 11 Virginia Cavaliers in the first ACC match of the 2015 season on March 6 in Winston-Salem.
• The matchup with Virginia will be the first of six straight matches the Deacons will play at home at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex.
