SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse women's soccer ends its final road trip of the season in Winston-Salem, N.C., Sunday, Oct. 21, when the Orange face Atlantic Coast Conference opponent Wake Forest at 1 p.m. inside Spry Stadium. The match will be televised on ACC Network Extra via WatchESPN.

LAST TIME OUT
The Orange fought mightily against one of the top teams in the nation but could not generate an offensive attack when needed, failing to score at least one goal for the first time in three matches in a 4-0 setback against No. 6 Virginia Thursday.

DEFENSE GIVING OFFENSE A CHANCE
Syracuse has trailed by just one goal past the 69th minute in four of its last six matches.

The Orange conceded only one goal in both losses against Louisville and Miami. In their 5-1 and 4-0 losses against Notre Dame and No. 6 Virginia, Syracuse trailed by one goal until the 78th and 70th minute, respectively.

A LOOK AROUND THE CONFERENCE
The ACC has five women's soccer teams in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 – including three teams ranked among the top 10: No. 3 North Carolina, No. 6 Virginia, No. 10 Duke, No. 11 Boston College, and No. 14 Florida State.

The ACC has six teams among the top 17 in the latest NCAA RPI released this week - No. 4 North Carolina, No. 7 Florida State, No. 12 Virginia, No. 15 NC State, No. 16 Boston College, and No. 17 Duke. The NCAA will select its championship field on Monday, Nov. 5.

SCOUTING THE CAVALIERS
Wake Forest is coming off a 2-1 win against Clemson, which was its first victory in five games. Redshirt sophomore forward Estelle Laurier leads the team with four goals and 13 points while senior midfielder Bayley Feist has four goals and 12 points.

Syracuse is 1-4-1 all-time against Wake Forest. The Orange lost last year's matchup in Syracuse, N.Y., by the score of 1-0.

WHAT LIES AHEAD

Syracuse returns to SU Soccer Stadium to host Clemson in the final match of the year. The action kicks off at 7 p.m.
