History
Wake Forest fielded its first team in 1980, under the coaching of George Kennedy. The Deacons went 12-9-1 in their first season. They won their first ACC game that season, defeating Maryland 2-1. Coach Kennedy lead Wake Forest through 1985 finishing with a 62-55-12 overall and 6-27-3 in the ACC. Walt Chyzowych took over the program in 1986 until his death just prior to the 1994 season. Coach Chyzowych took the Deacons to a 77-59-22 overall record and 15-25-7 in the ACC in his eight seasons with Wake Forest. The Deacons played in their first NCAA Tournament in 1988, losing in the first round to North Carolina. Since 1988, Wake Forest has reached the NCAA tournament 15 times. Jay Vidovich, an assistant under Coach Chyzowych, was named Head Coach in 1994 and continues today. In 19 seasons under Coach Vidovich the Deacons have gone 254-103-48 overall and 65-44-22 in the ACC.
To date, Wake Forest has won the ACC Regular Season Title in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2009, and won the ACC Tournament in 1989.
With their inclusion in the 2009 College Cup, the Demon Deacons reached 4 consecutive College Cups, becoming the ninth team in NCAA history to achieve this feat.
2007 NCAA Champions
The most successful season in team history took place in 2007, when Wake Forest won the NCAA Division I Championship in a 2-1 decision over Ohio State. It marked the program's only championship to date.
During their championship run, the #2 seeded Deacons defeated Furman 1-0, #15 West Virginia 3-1, and #10 Notre Dame 2-1 in overtime to reach the College Cup. In the semifinals, Marcus Tracy scored twice in a 2-0 win over Virginia Tech. In the final, Wake Forest scored 2 second half goals to come from behind to defeat Ohio State 2-1 to win the National Championship.
