Georgia Tech, a 2007 South Division II Quarterfinalist, travelled to Winston-Salem on Saturday and were dealt a 40-6 defeat by Wake Forest. Georgia Tech was somewhat understrength as some of their first siders were unavailable, and they could not keep pace with Wake's blisteringly fast backline. Freshman fullback Drew Chadwick, who missed the last two games due to injury, notched his second hat trick of the season, while sophomore wings Perry Salvagne and Steve McMillen also touched down. Junior flanker Timo Kawira started the day's scoring with a nicely worked try off of a rolling maul. Senior captain and flyhalf Tyler Eure was solid with the boot, converting 5 of the 6 tries.
Georgia Tech did not travel with a B-side, so Wake's second siders had the weekend off. Both the first and second sides will be in action next weekend in Greenville, SC, where they will play a round robin with Furman and Lander. Wake's extremely young team (6 freshmen and 7 sophomores started against GT) is starting to gel and is proving that Wake will be competitive in Division II.
