The Matchup

Wake Forest enters the match with a 7-0-0 overall record following a 1-0 shutout victory over Virginia Tech on Friday night at Thompson Field, while George Mason travels to Winston-Salem riding a two-match winning streak after taking down Radford (3-1) and St. Bonaventure's (2-1) in the Patriots' last two outings.
The Demon Deacons will be looking to set a new program record in the match for consecutive home victories at 13-straight. The current 12-match home winning streak is the longest in the nation by four matches (Lipscomb, eight) and tied the previous program record that was achieved through the first 12 home matches of the 2018 season.
Entering Monday's action, Wake Forest is one of only three programs remaining that are unbeaten and untied on the year, joined by Charlotte and Presbyterian.
George Mason suffered three-straight losses to start the season but has since recorded back-to-back victories for the first time since winning four-straight from Oct. 27-Nov. 9, 2018.
The Patriots are led by first-year head coach Rich Costanzo.
