A Milestone Victory On The Horizon

The Demon Deacons need just one more victory in ACC play to reach 50 regular season conference victories under ninth-year head coach Bobby Muuss.
Through last weekend's action, Wake Forest's 49 ACC regular season wins over the last nine seasons are nine more than any other conference program during that span.

Overall, the Demon Deacons currently have the most total wins (135) and home wins (99) nationally under Muuss.
The 135 overall victories are 19 more than any ACC counterpart and the 99 home victories are 23 more than any other ACC program.

Four Boston College players have scored on the campaign, led by Jonathan Murphy's two goals.
Defensively, goalkeepers Brennan Klein and Leon Musial have combined to record 21 saves while only conceding eight goals. Klein – who has started all three ACC matches for the Eagles – is allowing just 0.51 goals against per match which is best in the conference and 10th nationally.
