CAVALIERS HOLD OFF DEACONS

Top-ranked Virginia scored two second-half goals to grab a 3-2 ACC victory over Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, N.C.

The Deacons got on the board first when Greg Harron headed in a pass from Ihor Dotsenko with 4 minutes, 38 seconds remaining in the first half. Virginia (5-1, 2-0) responded less than a minute later with an unassisted goal from Nate Friends from the left corner of the box. Wake Forest (5-1, 0-1) took a 2-1 lead when Ryan Scott knocked in a deflected shot at the 12:12 mark.

The Cavaliers kept the Deacons scoreless over the final 75 minutes. Mike Fisher tied the score early in the second half and Billy Walsh converted the winner at the 56:52 mark on a header off Damian Silvera's corner kick.
