WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — The No. 10 ranked Wake Forest (10-3-0, 3-2-0 ACC) men’s soccer team fell to William & Mary (4-2-6, 2-1-3 CAA) by a final of 2-1 on Tuesday night at the Martin Family Stadium in Williamsburg, Va.
The two sides went into the halftime break knotted at one goal apiece, as William & Mary took an early 1-0 lead before a beautifully struck 33rd-minute free kick from sophomore Ryan Fessler evened the score.

Wake Forest will return to Spry Stadium and ACC play on Saturday night, hosting Boston College in the program’s annual Genna Wiley Memorial Match.
Kick-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the contest will be streamed on ACC Network Extra.
