Wake Forest Demon Deacons Clash with Norfolk State Spartans in Women's Basketball at Lawrence Joel Coliseum

As the Wake Forest Demon Deacons prepare to host the Norfolk State Spartans at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, fans are eager to see if the home team can turn their recent performance around. The Demon Deacons have been struggling to find consistency, as evidenced by their last three games.

In their most recent matchup against the Charlotte 49ers, Wake Forest fell short with a final score of 58 points to Charlotte's 69. Despite a strong showing in points in paint and a two-point shooting percentage of 59, turnovers and a low three-point shooting percentage of 14 proved costly.

The game prior saw Wake Forest scoring only 53 points against James Madison University's Dukes' 55. The rebounding was stronger with a total of 34 rebounds, but again turnovers and an assist-to-turnover ratio below one were areas where improvement is needed.

Looking further back at their game against Texas A&M Aggies, Wake Forest put up a fight but ultimately lost with a score of 57 to Texas A&M's commanding 81 points. While they managed six fast break points and matched Texas A&M on assists, they were outrebounded significantly and couldn't capitalize on turnovers as effectively as their opponents.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Wake Forest to leverage their home court advantage at the Coliseum—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere that can energize players and intimidate visiting teams. Fans will be looking for better ball control from the Demon Deacons and more effective perimeter shooting which has been lacking in recent games.

With this next contest scheduled for December 10th at 7:00 PM local time (Winston-Salem), supporters can catch all the action live from Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum as both teams vie for victory on what promises to be an exciting evening of women’s basketball.
