WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest will host its final exhibition Thursday night, as the Demon Deacons are set to host the No. 17 South Carolina Gamecocks.
Thursday's match, which includes free admission to all fans, is slated for 6 p.m. at Spry Stadium. Gates will open one hour prior to kickoff at 5 p.m.
DRAW IT OUT
Wake Forest opened its preseason exhibition schedule with a 2-2 draw with the No. 7 Clemson Tigers Monday night at Spry Stadium.
Freshman midfielder Olivia Duvall opened the scoring for Wake Forest with an assist coming from junior Ashley Frank. The Alexandria, Va., native broke through in the 55th minute.
Down 2-1, Wake Forest evened things up in the 75th minute, as Sophie Faircloth dribbled past a Clemson defender to lay it off to a wide-open Sofia Rossi who buried it in the back of the net.
