The 10-18 Fighting Irish came into Winston-Salem on Saturday, looking to end a 10-game road losing streak and prevent dropping a seventh game in a row.
Both teams alternated baskets to start the game but the Irish opened up 57% from the field (2-2 from 3pt) giving them a slight 10-8 lead just under five minutes in.
The Irish would continue the hot streak jumping out 17-10 before Wake Forest would stop the bleeding connecting from deep, making it 17-13 with just under 13 minutes left in the half. Goodwin would connect from deep with 12 minutes left but Wake Forest would answer with one of their own to bring it back within 2 20-18.
