Wake Forest Demon Deacons Host Virginia Tech Hokies in Women's Basketball Showdown at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum
As the Wake Forest Demon Deacons prepare to host the Virginia Tech Hokies at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, fans can anticipate a competitive clash in women's basketball. The Demon Deacons have shown resilience and adaptability in their recent performances, which will be crucial as they face their opponents on January 4th.
In their last game against Marshall's Thundering Herd, the Demon Deacons secured a victory with a score of 66-59. Despite starting slow with only 10 points in the first quarter, they built momentum to outscore Marshall in subsequent quarters. Their field goal percentage was impressive at approximately 47 percent, and they dominated inside the paint with 34 points. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 24 times.
The previous encounter against Georgetown Hoyas didn't go as well for Wake Forest; they fell short by scoring only 44 points to Georgetown's 60. The shooting accuracy was concerning that day; field goals were made at just about a 26 percent rate from two-point range and an equally low three-point percentage of around 25 percent.
Against Norfolk State Spartans, Wake Forest managed to eke out a win with a score of 51-46. The team showed improvement from beyond the arc compared to their game against Georgetown but still struggled overall from the field with approximately a 31 percent shooting rate.
The upcoming game is set to be an intriguing one for fans who can expect Wake Forest to focus on reducing turnovers and capitalizing on scoring opportunities inside the paint where they've shown strength. With home-court advantage at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere—Wake Forest will look to leverage fan support and familiarity with playing conditions.
