Reviving the Basketball Supporters Group
Wake Forest Athletics is bringing back its Basketball Supporters Group for the 2026‑27 women’s basketball season, a move that promises to deepen the connection between the program and its most dedicated followers.
The group, now in its fourth iteration, will operate from Section 114 at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, where members will help shape the gameday atmosphere through tailored initiatives and community‑building events.
Participants can look forward to complimentary tickets, invitations to exclusive gatherings and limited‑edition Wake Forest merchandise, while the application process includes interviews to ensure the best fit for the role.
The upcoming non‑conference slate features nine home contests and four away games, beginning with a matchup against USC Upstate on November 2, setting the stage for a season that blends tradition with fresh talent.
Returning core players such as Aurora Sørbye, Mary Carter and Opal Bird will be joined by seven newcomers — including four freshmen and three transfers — while veteran coach Megan Gebbia enters her fifth year, building on a 2025‑26 campaign that ended with a WNIT berth.
The initiative reflects a broader effort to amplify fan involvement and reinforce the Demon Deacons’ presence in the national women’s basketball conversation.
