WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Davidson concluded a four-game road trip with a 4-1 loss to Wake Forest after the Demon Deacons' offense came to life in the second half in non-conference men's soccer action Wednesday night at Spry Stadium.
Davidson (4-4-1, 0-1 SoCon) held the advantage in shots on goal in the first half, but Wake Forest (4-4-1, 1-2 ACC) broke the scoreless draw in the 50th minute on a counter attack. Andy Lubahn and Teddy Mullin combined on the play to find Ben Newnam in the center of the goal box for the goal.
With a shot from the top of the 18-yard box into the top right corner, Luca Gimenez added to the Deacs' lead in the 63rd minute after Lubahn found him unmarked. Newnam then found Lubahn at the goal line in the 68th minute. Danny Wenzel added a penalty kick with 6:20 remaining for a 4-0 advantage.
The Wildcats avoided the shutout with a three-on-one break in the final seconds of the match. Sophomore Nick Grube played the ball forward to junior Brian McGue, who touched the ball to senior Thomas Zimmerman for the goal, as he ripped it into the back of the net from the top right of the goal box.
The Wildcats entered the game coming off a difficult start to their Southern Conference slate at Georgia Southern. Davidson played for 67 minutes on Sunday, but lightning forced the game to be postponed, and Monday it was restarted with both teams competing in a full 90-minute game that featured a one hour, 47 minute weather delay before the last five minutes were completed.
Senior Garrett Bostwick nearly gave Davidson an early lead in the second half, but his chip shot sailed just high and right of the net.
Zimmerman had a pair of chances early in the game, putting a shot on goal in the second minute and then forcing Wake Forest goalkeeper Michael Lisch to make a diving, finger-tip deflection in the 15th minute to keep the game scoreless.
Ross Thomaselli nearly put Wake Forest on top with 13 minutes remaining in the first half with a shot from the right, but senior Chip Sanders made a diving one-handed save.
Sanders made two saves on the night and was strong intercepting crosses. He played the first 81 minutes before yielding to sophomore Ben Gold, who saw his first action of the season. Lisch made three saves for Wake Forest.
Davidson returns home to Alumni Stadium to face another ACC opponent, Duke, Tuesday night at 7 p.m.
