LAST TIME OUT
Wake Forest women's soccer team wins their fourth-straight road game, eighth multi-goal game and 10th shutout game with a 2-0 win over Syracuse on Sunday afternoon.
The Deacs' first goal came in the 19th minute from graduate forward Hulda Arnarsdottir, who collected a perfect pass from senior Ryanne Brown to score her second goal in two games. It was Arnarsdottir's 13th collegiate goal.
After the halftime break, the Deacs came out firing as the offense recorded eight of the 13 shots in the bottom 45 compared to Syracuse's four.
Senior Shayla Smart put the nail in the coffin when she recorded her seventh goal of the season off a Zara Chavoshi cross. Smart settled the ball and blasted a shot at the net where the Syracuse keeper got a hand on it, but it bounced in.
