Last Time Out

In a highly anticipated matchup that was the first regular season meeting between the Demon Deacons and Terrapins in a decade, No. 16 Wake Forest and No. 20 Maryland played to a 0-0 draw on Friday night at Ludwig Field.
Seven Deacs recorded a shot against the Terrapins, but were unable to find the back of the net as Wake Forest thwarted 10 Maryland attempts on the night including three on goal.
In the 72nd minute, the Terrapins were awarded a penalty kick. Stefan Coppeti stepped to the spot for Maryland but Trace Alphin blocked his shot to the bottom right corner of the goal.
It was one of three saves on the night for Alphin, as Wake Forest tallied its first clean sheet of the 2023 season.

Making Spry The Toughest Environment To Play In

Including a season-opening victory over Grand Canyon, Wake Forest's record at Spry Stadium since 2015 is 95-16-7 as the Demon Deacons continually make it difficult for opposing teams to be comfortable while in Winston-Salem.
The 95 home victories over the last nine seasons are 19 more than any other NCAA Division I program (Indiana, 76) and 23 more than any other ACC school (Clemson, 72).
Wake Forest is unbeaten in 12-straight regular season matches against non-conference foes at Spry since a 4-0 result against William & Mary on Oct. 5, 2021. During the 12-match unbeaten streak, the Deacs have outscored opponents 39-7.

Scouting the Paladins

Furman will head to Winston-Salem with a 1-1-0 record in the early campaign, scoring a 2-1 victory over Elon in the season opener before falling to No. 3 Duke 6-0.
In the win against the Phoenix, Paladins midfielder Conor Dowler scored the game-winning goal in the 84th minute to defeat the defending CAA regular season champions.
Highlighting a strong class of additions in 2023, Diego Hernandez was named to TopDrawerSoccer's Preseason Best XI Freshman Team while Dylan Lane and Jake Raine earned Preseason All-Southern Conference nods.
Consistently at the top of the SoCon standings, Furman has won either the conference regular season or tournament trophy five times since the 2014 season.

Looking Ahead

Wake Forest will compete in its ACC opener on Saturday evening, facing current No. 8 Pitt at Ambrose Urbanic Field.
Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the match will be streamed on ACC Network Extra.
