Coach's Comments
"I'm disappointed. We did not execute and played some really poor defense. We did not play to our potential and that is always hard, for coaches and players. We'll get back in the gym and work on some things this week and get ready to go at home on Friday." – head coach Randi Smart

Up Next
Wake Forest will return home to Varsity Arena inside Reynolds Gymnasium for four matches over the next two weeks. The Deacs will be back in action Friday, October 15 when they host the Notre Dame Irish. First serve is set for 7 p.m.
