Sofia Rossi and Maddie Huster each recorded their third goals of the season in the victory.
Rossi broke open the scoring in the 56th minute when she beat the keeper on the far post. Vicky Krug recorded the assist as she fed Rossi the ball with a long pass.
Huster doubled the lead in the 70th minute off a free kick from 25 yards out that sailed to the far post.
The Deacs held the Panthers (3-4-2, 0-1) to just three shots during the contest, two of which were on goal. Lindsay Preston managed the save on both shots on goal.
Wake Forest recorded 21 shots, a season-high for the team. The Demon Deacons also held a 14-1 advantage in corner kicks.
