Last Time Out (vs. Lipscomb)

Behind an output of four goals from four different Demon Deacons, the No. 7 Wake Forest men's soccer team continued its unbeaten start to 2025 as it downed Lipscomb, 3-0, Friday evening at Spry Stadium.
Wake Forest's four goals were a season-high early into the campaign, as junior Ethan Subachan got the Demon Deacons in front in the 25th minute as he perfectly positioned himself for second effort for his first goal of the year. Then just minutes later, fellow junior Tate Lorentz headed home a deflected cross from sophomore Amoni Thomas for his second of the year.
Minutes out of the halftime break, senior Basit Umar bagged his first goal of the year heading home a cross from sophomore Jeffrey White. Senior Cooper Flax set up the goal with a beautiful placed ball to White down the right wing. Then in the final minutes, redshirt junior Nico Rabiu scored his second career goal with Lorentz and a debuting Bret Russell Jr. logging assists.
In goal, redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Jonah Mednard and redshirt freshman Owen Barnett – who made his collegiate debut – combined for a shutout. So far this season, Mednard has posted a 0.27 goals-against average and a .889 save percentage with just one goal allowed.
For the fourth-consecutive match to open the season, Wake Forest went with a starting backline of junior Travis Smith, Jr., sophomores Mason Sullivan and Amoni Thomas, and graduate captain Cristian Escribano.
The Demon Deacon defense once again excelled in limiting opportunities for the visitors and only allowed zero shots on goal over the 90 minutes for the first time since a 1-0 victory over Jacksonville on Oct. 4, 2022. Additionally, Wake Forest has outshot opponents 67-to-33 through the first four matches of the season.
