Quick Notes

• Wake Forest has only allowed one goal this campaign, which is tied for the fewest goals allowed through three games in the Muuss-era.
  • Goalkeeper Jonah Mednard has conceded just once in his career with 287 total minutes in goal with two clean sheets. He holds a .889 save percentage and a .32 goals-against average.
• Wake Forest will look to start unbeaten through four matches for the sixth time under Muuss and for the first time since 2023.
• This will be the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
• The Demon Deacons enter the contest unbeaten in their last 15 matches at Spry Stadium with wins in seven of the last eight.
  • The Deacs hold a 11-0-4 home record dating back to Aug. 25 of last year.
  • Additionally, the Demon Deacons have yet to trail this season as they have led for 93 minutes.
• All four of the Deacs’ goals to open the season have come from four different players as Ryan Belal, Jeffrey White, Jose Perez and Tate Lorentz have all opened their accounts on the year.
• Earlier this week, the Demon Deacons landed No. 7 in the United Soccer Coaches’ preseason poll while also holding No. 6 spot in the TopDrawerSoccer College Soccer News polls.
• Wake Forest was picked to finish second in the ACC preseason poll and held the most first-place votes (5).

Scouting the Bisons

• Lipscomb is coming off of its first win of the campaign as it took down Mercer, 2-0, at home on Sunday and currently holds a 1-1-1 record headed into Sunday.
  • Redshirt junior midfielder Levi Jones came off the bench and scored in the 68th and 75th minutes to defeat the Bears.
  • Jones leads the team with five points as he also notched an assist on the 77th-minute equalizer against Memphis in the opener.
• The Bisons only bring back 18 percent (4-of-22) of their goal production from last season that saw Lipscomb post a 3-8-5 (1-4-2 ASUN) record.
  • Only one returning player, Tyler Stinnett, scored multiple goals last season (two).
• The squad is made up of 13 newcomers to the squad with eight freshmen.
• The Bisons were picked to finish fifth in the ASUN Preseason Coaches Poll and received one first place vote.
• One of the newcomers is starting goalkeeper Alex Kara, who transferred in after two seasons with Indiana.
  • He made six saves against Memphis and five against USF before earning his first-career clean sheet last time out against Mercer.

Last Time Out (vs. St. John’s)

• The No. 5 Wake Forest men’s soccer team remained unbeaten in 2025 as it battled St. John’s to a 0-0 draw Sunday evening at Spry Stadium.
• Wake Forest came out dominating play throughout the opening stages of the match and held possession for 65 percent of the first half. However, the two sides went into the halftime break knotted at 0-0 without either team able to score by the final whistle. 
• In the 75th minute, it looked as if the Demon Deacons had taken a 1-0 lead off a Jeffrey White goal following a set piece just outside of the 18, but the decision was overruled by VAR. 
• In goal, redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Jonah Mednard recorded his second-consecutive clean sheet. Despite only tallying one save, he snuffed out multiple potential chances for the visitors and limited the danger.
• For the third-consecutive match, Wake Forest went with a starting backline of junior Travis Smith, Jr., sophomores Mason Sullivan and Amoni Thomas, and graduate captain Cristian Escribano. The Demon Deacon defense excelled in limiting opportunities for the visitors and only allowed one shot on goal over the 90 minutes. 
• This marked the second-straight contest in which the Deacs allowed just one shot on frame as Wake Forest has outshot opponents 42-to-30 through the first three matches of the season.
• Additionally, this marks the first time since Oct. 1-12 (four matches) of last year that the Demon Deacons recorded consecutive clean sheets.
• With the draw, the Demon Deacons are now unbeaten in their last 15 matches at Spry Stadium. Overall, the Deacs hold a 11-0-4 home record dating back to Aug. 25 of last year.

• Additionally, Wake Forest and Indiana are the only two programs of the 211 programs nationally to hold double-digit NCAA Tournament appearance streaks.
• Wake Forest also leads the nation in wins over the last quarter-century (359), 10 more than second-most Maryland.
