The Deamon Deacons Are Rolling...
Ok, I'm a little behind the curve on this one because I've been settling into a new job all week. That being said, better late then never, right?
The Wake Forest Deamon Deacons are rolling along through this 2007 men's soccer season. The are #1 in the polls with a 12-1-2 record. Their first loss came this weekend to #8 Boston College. However, before that loss they went on a 25-0 goal scoring spree. That is right, in five wins the Deacons averaged 5 goals per game. Outstanding!
Wake has three more game before the ACC tournament starts but they should go in as the #1 team in the conference. While freshman sensation Corben Bone has cooled off of late, fellow Deacon prospects Cody Arnoux and Marcus Tracy are lighting up the old onion bag with 16 goals between the two of them. Both are underclassmen so we'll see if they jump ship after productive seasons for the professional league.
Looking at the other end of that great run, five games and zero goals allowed, we see that senior keeper, Brian Edwards, has improved his GAA to 0.47 and has 8 shutouts. I doubt we'll see Brian drafted as high as Brad Guzan a couple years ago, but he should be a good goal keeper prospect for any MLS team, like Chivas USA who could be losing Guzan to Europe in the future.
Julian VValentin has been showing his skills during this run as well. He started the season injured but has returned to put 4 points on the board and anchor a great defense. Paired with Pat Phelan in the back, Jules is showing why he's been on so many youth national teams. The two senior defenders will certainly leave a hole in Wake's team as they move on after this senior season.
Watch for Wake going into the NCAA tournament. They'll be the early favorites with the biggest target on their back.
