WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest women's soccer opened 2015 with an exclamation mark, shutting out Georgia by a 4-0 margin in the regular-season opener at Spry Stadium on Sunday evening.
Eight Demon Deacons (1-0) found their way into the scoresheet with either a goal or assist, as Wake Forest knocked off the Bulldogs (0-1-1), an NCAA Tournament qualifier a year ago.
After scoring the game-winner in the exhibition win over Ohio State, Katie Dry again scored what proved to be the game-winner, this time in the 13th minute. She perfectly executed a give-and-go with Maddie Huster, beating the keeper one-on-one to make it 1-0.
Ally Haran made it 2-0 seven minutes later, hitting a one-timer out of the air on a Sarah Teegarden free kick.
Two Deacons scored their first career goals in the second half. Kahla Seymour made it 3-0 in the 59th minute, scoring after a Kendall Fischlein long ball for her first score.
Kendal Robino added her first-career goal in the 83rd minute. She beat the keeper inside the left post after a deflection from Maddie Huster and header pass by Bayley Feist.
Lindsay Preston and Nonie Frishette combined for a clean sheet in goal. Preston saved Georgia's only two shots on goal and earned the victory.
Wake Forest out-shot Georgia 15-5, and allowed just two first-half shots on goal.
SEASON-OPENING SUCCESS
• Wake Forest won its eighth straight season-opener, out-scoring opponents 23-4 over that stretch.
• That streak now includes wins over SEC foes Georgia, Kentucky and Auburn.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES
• Last year, Wake Forest scored more than one goal in a game just three times.
• Wake Forest went the whole season without defeating an opponent by more than two goals.
FIRST TIME SINCE...
• Eight different Deacons found their way into the scoresheet for the first time since 2005, when 11 did so in a 5-1 win over San Diego.
• Wake Forest and Georgia played for the first time since 2002, when the Deacons won 3-1. Wake Forest takes a 2-1-3 lead in the series.
ON DECK
• Wake Forest hits the road for four straight. First, the Deacons travel to Alabama (Aug. 28) and Samford (Aug. 30), before heading to Raleigh for a tournament the following weekend.
