It marks the first time a team has scored on Wake Forest this season.

Diana Ordoñez scored the lone goal of the game when she struck in the 20th minute of play. As sophomore Lia Godfrey approached the attacking third, she slipped the ball through a pair of defenders toward the box where Ordoñez picked it up as she slipped in behind her defender.

The junior forward fired her right-footed shot from near the penalty mark to the left of the keeper for the score.
