The University of North Carolina handed Wake Forest a convincing 18-3 defeat in Winston-Salem, NC earlier today. The teams looked evenly-match in the first half, and indeed changed sides with the score deadlocked at 3. But the second half was a different story, as Carolina dominated possession and territory and ran in two tries. The Tar Heels had their way with the Demon Deacons at the point of tackle, causing numerous turnovers and penalties. Carolina's standout flanker Alex Lee did much of the damage himself, poaching ball at every opportunity and scoring a walk-in try off a pick from the base of the scrum.
Wake Lineup
1. Matt Storck 2. Dave Poplaski (Hunter Lostan @ 30) 3. Kenton Forte 4. Brendan Shea (Christian Jewett @ 55) 5. Ross Hilton 6. Mike Duffy 7. Trenton Justice 8. Timo Kawira 9. Drew Legge 10. Tom Gibson 11. Rob Musci (Matt Gottbrecht @ 40) 12. David Sage 13. Perry Salvagne 14. Ben Cohen 15. Critter Commins
In the second side match, Wake Forest, with a number of first side players seeing double duty, ran out 44-0 winners over a very inexperienced UNC second side.
