The Matchup

Wake Forest and Radford will meet in the Deacs' only Monday regular season match of the season with each team looking to rebound from losses this weekend after the Deacs lost to Gardner-Webb on Friday before Radford fell to Wofford on Saturday.
Wake Forest will also be seeking its second home home win of the season as well, following a 3-2 comeback victory over Central Arkansas on Aug. 25. After trailing 2-0 at halftime, Wake Forest collected three second half goals for the program's first victory following a 2-0 deficit since 2006.
Radford has suffered three one-goal losses on the season to date and also fell to Elon, who is currently 5-0-0 on the season.

Last Time Out

After Gardner-Webb took a 2-0 lead in the 65th minute, the Demon Deacons cut into the deficit in the 76th minute as senior Babacar Niang was on the receiving end of a perfectly placed cross from sophomore Jeffrey White.
The Deacs continued to ramp up pressure in the final third looking for an equalizer, however, the Runnin' Bulldogs logged a third goal in the 88th minute.
Niang would finish the night playing a career-high 90 minutes, as he currently leads the team in goals (three) and points (six).
Senior Trace Alphin, junior Cooper Flax and sophomore Travis Smith Jr. also played the entirety of the match.

Over the last 10 seasons, the Deacs have won at least eight of their matches at Spry Stadium including a double-digit win total seven of those seasons.
