The 2016-17 year was arguably one of the most successful in recent history. The Demon Deacons' overall record of 182-111-3 is the best in the last decade; eighty percent of Wake Forest teams finished with a winning record; three teams finished in the top 10 in their respective NCAA tournaments; and six teams achieved top 10 rankings during the regular season. Wake Forest was one of only three teams nationally to win a bowl game, receive a bid to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and play its way into a baseball Super Regional.
Wake Forest student-athletes also continued to excel in the classroom with 51% named to the ACC Honor Roll.
It was another record-breaking year for fundraising as well with an impressive total of $46,443,120 in new commitments, an 84% increase over the previous year.
