WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina – Sophomore goalkeeper
Ryan Cretens and freshman goalkeeper

"It was pleasing that we had another shutout as we prepare for Campbell," Coach
Aidan Heaney said. "Wake Forest is obviously a talented team, but saying that, we have room for improvement. It was really a tale of two halves and I was happy with some of the individual performances. It shows we have depth in our squad."
Cretens made three saves in 69 minutes before being replaced by Braham, who made three saves in the final 21 minutes.
Freshman goalkeepers
Andreu Cases Mondet and
Kyle Barkett combined for four saves for Wake Forest, which outshot UNCW by a 14-10 margin.
