Wake Forest applied pressure from the very beginning, taking a lead with a goal in the third minute. Fountain played a pass to Hutchinson in the middle of the field. The East Carolina keeper tried to come out and stop the ball, but Hutchinson dribbled around her and had an open net. She scored from six yards, beating three ECU defenders, who tried to keep the ball out of the net.

The Demon Deacons continued to get good looks at the goal. Eleanor Davidson attempted a shot in both the 17th and 18th minute, but the Pirate goalkeeper was able to make the save.

East Carolina had trouble generating offense in the first half, attempting just one shot. The only shot came in the 28th minute, an attempt by Amanda Malkiewicz that was wide.

The Pirates had their only shot on goal in the 53rd minute, an attempt by Bailey Wilcox, which was saved by Morse.

Wake Forest doubled the lead in the 54th minute on Hutchinson’s second goal of the day. D’Agostino played a high shot that the ECU keeper was able to keep out of the goal and knock back in front of the goal line. Hutchinson was there to easily put the rebound into the net.

The Demon Deacons got their third goal of the game in the 68th minute. D’Agostino’s shot from 14 yards out in front of the goal snuck inside the right post for her second goal of the season.

Wake added the fourth goal in short order, scoring just over a minute later. Hutchinson played a cross to Holman-Kelley, who had an open look from 16 yards out. Holman-Kelley blasted the shot into the left side of the net.

Hutchinson nearly finished off the hat trick in the 73rd minute. The Wayne, Pa., native had a head shot that went off the cross bar and ECU was able to clear the ball away.
