Wake Forest shook off their disappointing result from last weekend and evened their ACRL record with a 67-10 victory over Georgia Tech in Atlanta. The Demon Deacons opened the scoring in the third minute with a try from sophomore lock James Watson and never looked back, running in 10 tries on the day. Watson lead the way with a hat trick and senior center Ben Cohen bagged two tries. Junior Johnny McMurray accounted for 22 points on the day with a try, penalty goal and seven conversions. Senior scrumhalf Will Hank stepped in seamlessly for the injured Jack Zimmerman, while junior Rob Kelly directed the offense from flyhalf with McMurray moving back to fullback.
Wake now has two weekends off to prepare for the Virginia Cavaliers who travel to Winston-Salem on March 24. UVA has yet to play an ACRL game, as their scheduled game with defending champions Maryland was postponed this weekend due to field conditions in Charlottesville.
Wake's JV side lost to a more experienced Tech side 20-7. The Deacs were behind 10-0 at the half, but dominated most of the second stanza. But they were only able to notch one try from their sustained pressure and a loose ball at the goal line was scooped up by a Tech player who went 95 meters for a backbreaking try.
