Demon Deacons take first semi

Wake Forest won the first semifinal match-up with two second half goals against Virginia Tech. Forward Marcus Tracy scored both goals for the Demon Deacons.

The first came off of a free kick from the right side of the field near the 18-yard box. Tracy jumped in the air and simultaneously redirected the ball into the goal. In the 83rd minute, Tracy beat the goalie with a shot from 15 yards out to the right side.

Virgina Tech had several opportunities to score within the last 20 minutes, including one shot that hit the post. On several occasions, the Hokie forwards were looking for foul calls within the 18-yard box but received no favor from the referee.

Wake will play the winner of Massachusetts and Ohio State Sunday at 3 pm at SAS Soccer Park.
