• The Demon Deacons are will play at the Fighting Irish on Friday at 3:30 p.m. before hosting a doubleheader Sunday in which they will face the Cavaliers at 10 a.m. and the Pirates at 4:30 p.m.
Last Time Out
• Wake Forest dropped back-to-back matches for the first time all season last week. The Deacs fell, 7-0, to No. 4 North Carolina and 5-2 to No. 34 Georgia Tech. Both matches were played on the road.
• The Deacons got their points against Georgia Tech from doubles wins by Emma Davis and Samantha Asch and Luisa Fernandez and Andrea Retolaza Andrade, as well as a singles victory at No. 5 by Asch. Asch was also the lone Deac to force a third set in singles against the Tar Heels.
100-Win Club
• With her singles victory against Appalachian State, Luisa Fernandez became the 38th player in program history to reach 100-career wins in singles and doubles combined.
• Fernandez became the fourth current Demon Deacon to reach the milestone, joining Kimmy Guerin, Kasey Gardiner and Xue Zhang.
