Wake Forest lost to Clemson 29-10 on Friday night in Wake's final match of the season. Clemson jumped out to a big early lead as Wake shook off rust from a month layoff and tried to adjust to a pace much faster than they were used to. When Wake finally settled down, the scoreline was too great to overcome, but Wake showed well in playing Clemson evenly over the final 50 minutes. Wake's lone try was scored by sophomore wing Steve McMillen and converted by senior flyhalf Tyler Eure. Eure also slotted a long penalty goal to round out the scoring.
Wake now enters the offseason knowing they have alot of work to do if they hope to challenge for a playoff spot in their first foray into Division II. Wake will open play in the spring with a match against UGA in Athens on January 26. UGA will be looking to avenge a 49-25 drubbing at the hands of Wake in the fall of '06.
