No. 4 Wake Forest Routs Appalachian State, 5-0

The fourth-ranked Demon Deacons received goals from five different players and blanked Appalachian State, 5-0, on Wednesday night at Kentner Stadium. Wake Forest improved to 7-4 on the season and picked up its second straight shutout, while the Mountaineers dropped to 2-9 overall.

Appalachian State received its only penalty corner of the game and took its lone shot of the night in the opening minutes of the game. Freshman goalkeeper Alex Mann had no problem making the save to spark Wake's domination of the game.

Liza Casella took the Deacs first penalty corner and connected to Michelle Kasold, who tipped it to Liz Fries, who would knock in the Deacs' first goal at the 10:49 mark. Less than a minute later, Wake increased its lead to 2-0 after Regina Shannon tapped in the ball just outside the net for her second goal of the season.

The Deacs took six more shots before Minou Gimbrere extended the lead to 3-0 at the 23:47 mark.
