Demon Deacons Close Regular Season with 4-0 Win at Colgate

Hamilton, N.Y - In their final regular season contest, the Wake Forest field hockey team put together their best offensive performance of the season with a season-high 23 shots to defeat Colgate 4-0 on Sunday afternoon at Tyler's Field.

Entering the contest having yet to score in her young Wake Forest career, Amelia Frey left the match with three goals, scoring once in the third quarter and twice in the fourth for the hat trick. Freshman Faye Janse assisted on both in the final quarter for the first two-assist match of her Wake career. Mia Schoenbeck got the Deacs (8-8, 1-5 ACC) on the board in the second quarter with her second goal of her freshman season.

In cage, Ellie Todd faced just four shots, coming away with one save on a Colgate (3-14, 0-6 Patriot) penalty corner attack. For the fifth time this season, Wake's defense kept an opponent under five shots.

Wake finished nonconference action with four-straight victories with all four wins coming away from Kentner Stadium.
