Deacs Pull Out Double OT Win at NC State
3/20/2021 5:10:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Ryanne Brown scored the game-winner in the 108th minute.
RALEIGH, N.C. – Ryanne Brown scored the golden goal in the second overtime, to help Wake Forest pick up a road win over NC State, 1-0, at Dail Soccer Complex on Saturday afternoon.
Brown fired a rocket from 25 yards out for the game-winner in the 108th minute. The ball flew right over the outstretched arms of the NC State keeper.
With three saves, Kaitlyn Parks earned her first clean sheet of the spring season and collected her third win in the net. She played the full 90 minutes.
The Demon Deacons (4-6-1, 3-4-1 ACC) secured their 18th win all-time against NC State (4-1-1, 0-0-0 ACC) and clinched their first overtime win since Oct. 24, 2019 versus Pitt.
How It Happened
"Great team effort today. So many great performances it is impossible to choose a single one to highlight. Kaitlyn Parks had an incredible game in the goal, Shayla Smart covered so much ground, Lyndon Wood did any amazing job in her debut at center back and Ryanne Brown capped off a with the game-winner. We had to grind defensively because NC State is so dangerous in the attack. We just hung in together and found a way to win on the road. I am proud of this team and staff. Our young squad is making progress."
Wake Forest is back at Spry for the first time this spring on Sunday, playing host to Elon at 2 p.m. on the ACC Network.
