Last Chance Goal Pushes No. 18 Wake Forest Over Maryland 1-0

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Jill Hutchinson's golden goal in the 87th minute pushed the No. 18 Wake Forest women's soccer team over Maryland 1-0 in College Park on Friday night.

The Demon Deacons (7-3-2, 2-0-1) fired 18 shots during the contest, while the Terps (5-3-2, 0-2-0) were only able to get seven shots past the WFU defense and had no shots on goal.

Wake senior Ashley Burney had the game-winning assist at the contest, the second clutch play of the season for the senior, who only saw limited playing time until 2007. Two weeks ago Burney posted the game-winning goal over No. 13 West Virginia to solidify the Deacs' highest ranked win of the season.

    Duke would strike first as the Blue Devils scored at 58:50 in the second half when Elisabeth Redmond sent a ball in the box from the left of BC goalkeeper Sarah Buonomo. Duke midfielder Lorraine Quinn jumped on the loose ball and went to the far post past a diving Buonomo.

    The Eagles did not fold as they came back at 72:57 to tie the match at 1-1. Junior Caroline Walden sent freshman Natalie Crutchfield to the corner with a beautiful pass that slipped by the Duke defense. Crutchfield sent a low ball into the box, and freshman Brooke Knowlton one-timed it to the near post for her second goal of the season.
