LAST TIME OUT
Wake Forest picked up its ninth shutout win Thursday night, topping the Boston College Eagles 1-0 for its first Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) victory.
Graduate forward Hulda Arnarsdottir notched the game-winner with a finish after a deflection in the keeper's box early in the first half. It was Arnarsdottir's first goal in the Old Gold and Black since October 31, 2019 vs Notre Dame.
The Demon Deacons and Eagles went back-and-forth offensively throughout the night, tying the shot counter at 14 apiece with the Eagles putting seven on frame compared to the Deacs' four.
The shutout was the sixth for goalkeeper Kaitlyn Parks and the ninth clean sheet for the Deacs this season, which leads the country.
