Following a sizzling start to the season, the Wake Forest women’s soccer team cooled off this past weekend, the first of a four-week early-season road trip.
A scoreless draw against the University of Alabama and a hard-fought 2-1 loss against Samford University didn’t produce ideal results for the Deacons, but it didn’t lower the expectations of head coach Tony da Luz.
“It was a game (against Samford) we could’ve won. We dominated the game against Alabama and played great soccer, so I’m not concerned. We’ll bounce back,” da Luz said.
Wake Forest traveled to Tuscaloosa on Friday and despite registering a total of 18 shots, seven of which were on net, the Deacs couldn’t put anything past Alabama keeper Emily Rusk.
