Deacs to Play Twice in Three Days
• Wake Forest will host a pair of non-conference battles over the weekend, beginning with Boston University at 7 p.m. at Spry Stadium on Friday.
• The Demon Deacons will then host West Virginia on Sunday at 7 p.m. at Spry Stadium.

How to Catch the Games
• Both games will be streamed live on WakeForestSports.com, as Steven Wright will have the call.
• You can also get live updates via the Wake Forest men's soccer Twitter account. Follow the team @wakemenssoccer or Twitter.com/wakemenssoccer.

Last Time Out
• Wake Forest opened up the season with a 1-0 win over Wofford, as freshman Jalen Robinson scored his first collegiate goal in his first collegiate contest.
• The Demon Deacons dominated possession throughout the game, outshooting the Terriers 19-8.
• Goalkeeper Michael Lisch recorded his sixth-career shutout without needing to make a save.

This Weekend's Opponents
• Boston U. enters the weekend with a 1-1-0 record, falling to St. John's in the season opener, 3-0, and defeating Boston College, 1-0.
• West Virginia is 2-0 behind a 2-1 win over Hartford and a 1-0 win over Stetson.

Series History
• Wake Forest does not have much of a history with either team, as the Deacs have never played Boston U. and defeated West Virginia in the only ever meeting in 2007, 3-1. The win came in the Third Round of the NCAA tournament, en route to the school's only national title.

Next Up
• Wake Forest will hit the road for the first time next weekend when the Deacs open up ACC play at Clemson at 7:30 p.m.
