• Last season in the Blue Gray Classic, Wake Forest defeated Yale and No. 22 Illinois to reach the final before losing to No. 13 Oklahoma State.

LAST TIME OUT
• The Demon Deacons captured their fourth consecutive victory and first in conference play with a 7-0 win at Clemson. It was the team's first win in Clemson since the 2002 season when Wake Forest reached the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals.
• After winning the doubles point with a pair of 6-1 victories, the Deacs clinched the match with three straight-set victories in singles play. With Chandler Carter grabbing the fourth and clinching point in the No. 5 match, Wke went on to capture the remaining three singles matches for a clean sweep of the Tigers.

Eliza Omirou soared up the singles rankings, moving from No. 117 to No. 79 this week. Omirou and doubles partner MC Meredith remain in the top 20 at No. 11. Wake is now a consensus top-25 team reentering the ITA poll at No. 19 while moving up to No. 23 in the USTA poll.
• Chandler Carter and Carolyn Campana have won all five of their doubles matches this spring including a pair of 6-0 victories.

SCOUTING THE MUSTANGS
