Andy Rosenband scored two goals, his first multi-goal game as a Deacon, while Chris Lonteen and Ben Stafford each tacked on one goal and one assist. Jaron Barbee served two assists. The win snapped a two-game skid for the Deacs who were looking for their first win since the home opener on Sept. 8. Keep Your Eraser Handy Ben Stafford keeps moving his way up Wake Forest s all-time scoring charts. With his one goal and one assist performance against the Seahawks on Wednesday night, Stafford moved into fourth place in all-time scoring in Deacon soccer history (64) and tied for fourth in goals scored (24). With plenty of time left in his senior season, Stafford could leave Wake as the school s second alltime leading scorer. The Signal Mountain, Tenn., native scored four goals in the team s first three games, including the gamewinning tallies against UConn and UNC G r e e n s b o r o. Stafford also registered the first gametying goal against St. John s. Stafford was the team s leading goal scorer in 99 with eight. Of those, six were game-winning or game-tying goals. Stafford netted the deciding goals against Coastal Carolina, Vanderbilt, UNC Greensboro, High Point, North Carolina and in the NCAA tournament against Virginia Commonwealth.

In 2000, Barbee has started two games but has come off the bench in the second 45 minutes to provide a spark. The senior assisted on Stafford s gamewinner against UNC G r e e n s b o r o and on Hakes goal against Liberty. When Barbee entered the lineup with 23 minutes remaining against UConn, Wake Forest picked up its intensity and began to pressure the Huskies. Shortly after, Wake tied the game, eventually winning in overtime. Coach Vidovich calls Barbee a vulture who converts on his chances. The coaching staff also likes his versatility. Seale ofapproval Junior Jamal Seale started his first game of the campaign at Wilmington after coming off the bench in a limited role in the team s first five games. The 1999 second team All-ACC midfielder missed all three preseason games due to injury. Seale led the team in assists in 1999 with seven. Thomas Named Preseason All-American Sophomore midfielder Aaron Thomas was named to College Soccer Online s preseason All-American team. After playing defender last year, Thomas has already proved to be a dangerous threat in the penalty area. He scored a gametying goal against St. John s on a diving header during a scramble in the box. Facing the Nation s Best South Carolina is the fourth top-10 team Wake Forest has played this season. The Deacs opened with an overtime win over Connecticut (currently ranked #4), and an overtime loss to #5 St. J o h n s. Last Saturday, #8 Virginia shutout Wake Forest 2-0. The remaining non-conference schedules includes George Mason, who is currently ranked is some national polls, Charlotte and High Point. ACC rivals Maryland and Clemson will visit Spry Stadium later this season while Wake travels to face in-state ACC rivals NC State, North Carolina and Duke. Stafford Named to Soccer America s Team of the Week After UConn Trip Senior Ben Stafford earned a place on the Soccer America Team of the Week for Sept. 4. Stafford scored two goals against Connecticut, including the overtime gamewinner. The next day, Stafford found net against St. John s. Three Deacons Earn Spots on Bob s Stores/UConn All-Tournament Team Seniors Ben Stafford and Ro b Vartughian and sophomore Aaron Thomas were named to the Bob s Stores/UConn All-Tournament thanks to their outstanding performances against Connecticut and St. John s. Vartughian made ten saves against UConn, including three saves within a eight second span in overtime. Just 34 seconds after Va r t u g h i a n s s aves, Stafford scored the ove r t i m e gamewinner against the Huskies. Stafford finished the trip with three goals. Thomas earned his place on the team in large part because of his game-tying goal against St. John s with less than ten minutes remaining in regulation. His diving header tied the game at two and forced the teams to play overtime. Vidovich in seventh season at WFU Head Coach Jay Vidovich is in his seventh season at the helm of the Wake Forest men s soccer program. He has a career record of and is just eight wins shy of becoming the all-time winningest coach in Wake Forest history, surpassing mentor and friend, Wa l t Chyzowych.

The fifth-r a n ked Wa ke Forest men s soccer team was defeated 2-0 by 17th-ranked Virginia on Saturday night in the ACC opener for both teams. The Deacons drop to 2-3 on the season. The setback is Wake s first regular season home loss since November 8, 1998 when topranked Clemson defeated the Deacs 1-0. As expected, the game was a physical battle with 37 fouls called and nine cards being issued on the night, 25 of those fouls and seven of those cards to the Cavaliers. Virginia s Kyle Martino was ejected in the 57th minute after picking him up his second yellow card but the Deacs couldnât capitalize on the man-advantage. Leading by a goal, the Cavaliers bunkered down and prevented Wake Forest from stringing together scoring opportunities. Although the Deacons outshot Virginia 5-2 in the half, it was the Cavaliers who held possession for most of the first half. The Deacons best chance came with less than three minutes left in the first half. Aaron Thomas floater appeared to be destined for the top of the net but Cavalier goalkeeper Kyle Singer tipped the ball just over the crossbar. Virginia scored the game s first goal shortly into the second half when reserve forward Ryan Gibbs laced a right-footer that initially appeared to be floating wide. The shot came from 23 yards to the right of goalkeeper Rob Vartughian and bent into the top far corner of the cage. In the Spotlight...

6 Wake Forest Men s Soccer Head Coach Jay Vidovich Personal Born: February 2, 1960 in Detroit, MI Family: Wife Julie, daughter Zoe (2 1/2) Education New Canaan (Conn.) High School Indiana University (1979) Ohio Wesleyan University (BA, 1982) University of Denver (MA, 1983) Coaching Experience University of Denver Assistant Coach, 1982 Regis College Assistant Coach, 1983 Ohio Wesleyan University Assistant Coach, Wake Forest University Assistant Coach, Head Coach, 1994-present An experienced coach with an incomparable rapport with the student-athletes who play for him, Jay Vidovich enters his seventh season as head coach of the Wake Forest University men s soccer program. Vidovich honed his coaching skills under the legendary Walt Chyzowych, who is universally recognized as the most influential figure in the development of American soccer. Vidovich served as an assistant coach under longtime friend and mentor, Chyzowych, for eight years at WFU before taking over the reins of the program. Both arrived at Wake Forest in 1986 and shared the sidelines until Chyzowych s death just prior to the 1994 season. Under Chyzowych s guidance, Vidovich gained experience in the international game as well as at the youth and collegiate levels, helping to develop some of the top young players in the country. Several players whom Vidovich has mentored have gone on to achieve success at the national level, including Neil Covone, who played in the 1990 World Cup, and Craig Conger and Craig Johnson, who were members of the Olympic team. Others have gone on to achieve success in the professional soccer ranks, including Eddie Pope, Josh Timbers, and Mike McGinty. Since taking over as head coach of the Deacons in 1994, Vidovich has continued to develop a program that is competitive in the ACC and in the nation. Including the 2000 season, Vidovich has an overall record of in his six years. He needs just nine wins to catch his mentor, Chyzowych, becoming WFU s all-time winningest coach. Last season, Vidovich guided the Deacons to one of the best seasons in school history with a record. The team s.738 winning percentage is a new school record and the team was ranked as high as third. Wake finished third in the regular season ACC standings and reached the ACC tournament semifinals. In 1998, a young and talented Deacon squad turned in an campaign and was ranked as high as No. 12 in the nation. High points of the season included a 2-1 upset of top-ranked Washington, a 2-1 win over No. 10 South Carolina, and a 2-2 tie with No. 4 Virginia.
