WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- The North Carolina field hockey team fell 2-0 to top-ranked Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon at Kentner Stadium. The No. 3 Tar Heels are now 8-2 on the season and 0-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while the Demon Deacons, defending NCAA Champions, improved to 9-0 overall, 3-0 in ACC play.
Wake Forest scored a goal late in each half of the game. The first was by Christine Suggs, assisted by Kristi Harshman, in the 33rd minute of play. With five minutes remaining in the game, Maeka Boreel grabbed the rebound of her own saved shot and fired in a goal to give Wake a 2-0 lead.
