NEWTON, Mass. – The Wake Forest women’s soccer team (9-6-3, 3-6-1 ACC) battled to a 1-1 tie with ACC foe Boston College (5-8-5, 1-7-2 ACC) Thursday night in its final regular season contest of the 2022 campaign.
Neither side came up with significant scoring opportunities in the early going as the two teams combined for only two shots on goal in the first half.
The defensive struggle continued into the second half before Boston College opened the scoring in the 81st minute on a goal from Sophia Lowenburg.
With its back against the wall, Wake Forest responded just four minutes later when Hannah Johnson fired a strike into the net from six yards out.
Both sides attempted to break the deadlock over the final five minutes of action but neither team was successful as the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Wake Forest will now turn its attention to the NCAA Selection Show as the Demon Deacons still have an opportunity to gain an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament. The Selection Show will take place on Monday, Nov. 7.
