Next Game: at Duke 9/29/2019 | 10:00 AM

No. 15 Stanford dropped a 3-1 decision to No. 21 Wake Forest on Friday evening, with the Demon Deacons scoring twice in the final four minutes to secure the win.

Back on the road for the first time in two weeks, Stanford (6-4, 1-0 America East) was playing the first of two matches against top-25 competition.

The Cardinal was opportunistic early on, as Corinne Zanolli padded her nation-leading goal total with her 15th score of the season in the 21st minute. Zanolli is on track to outpace her breakthrough sophomore year, in which she scored a single-season school-record 26 goals.

Wake Forest (3-5, 0-1 ACC), which controlled play throughout and owned a 12-6 shot edge, tied the game at 1-1 in the 37th minute following the first of two goals from Alexis Grippo.

The match remained level until the 57:41 mark when Grippo converted a penalty stroke and the Demon Deacons added an empty-net goal one minute later.

Stanford concludes its road trip on Sunday, Sept. 29, facing No. 2 Duke in Durham.
