The Wake Forest women's basketball program has released its full ACC schedule for the upcoming season, a slate that blends home matchups with high‑profile road games against some of the conference’s most established powers. The announcement comes as the Deacons look to build on a strong finish from the previous year and maintain momentum heading into a competitive league.
Last season the Deacons posted 14 victories, including a nine‑game winning streak to start the year, and earned a berth in the ACC tournament, establishing a solid platform for the challenges ahead.
Season Outlook
New assistant coach Jimmy Colloton has joined the staff, bringing fresh strategic insight as the team prepares for a conference that remains among the nation’s toughest.
Senior guard Mary Carter, the leading scorer from last year, returns as the cornerstone of the lineup, while the roster also benefits from experienced talent and the continuity of a coaching staff that has kept the program on an upward trajectory.
The schedule features a demanding mix of opponents, including Duke, Louisville and North Carolina on the road, while home games will see the Deacons host Clemson, SMU, NC State and Georgia Tech. An extended holiday break will allow the team to regroup before a December 31 showdown with SMU, and the season will culminate with a home contest against NC State on February 25 followed by a road game at Georgia Tech.
With the goal of securing a second straight ACC tournament appearance, the Deacons are focused on building consistency, leveraging early‑season momentum and the added depth provided by the new coaching addition.
