CARY, N.C. - At halftime, the national semifinal match between Wake Forest and Virginia Tech is scoreless. Both teams forced chances, but superb goalkeeping maintained the 0-0 tie.
As the half ended, the Minutemen entered the SAS Soccer Park. The normally upbeat team kept a reserved demeanor as it ascended the bleachers led by captain Zack Simmons.
UMass and Ohio State kick off at 7 p.m. as of right now. But all of that depends on the first game. Late in the opening period, Wake forward Marcus Tracy dribbled through the VT defenders and walked in alone on goalkeeper Markus Aigner. Tracy tried to hit the far post with Aigner covering the near side, but the shot skipped wide, rolling harmlessly out of bounds.
Aigner and Demon Deacon goalkeeper Brian Edwards each made a pair of saves in the game. The match adopted an agressive feel late in the half. A hard tackle on the right flank by VT's Robert Edmans drew a yellow card from official Alex Gorin.
