WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Forget those old times of futility, and dont even worry about having to play football in a hurricane. Wake Forest is winning, and the way the Demon Deacons beat Syracuse 28-9 on Saturday night was methodical.John Wolford ran for two touchdowns and a career-best 94 yards, and threw for 140 yards to lead Wake Forest (5-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference).Wolford was 13 of 22 and scored from the 7 and 37-yard line in the second quarter. Cade Carney, a freshman who had missed the three previous games with a knee injury, added 104 yards rushing on 29 carries, including a fourth-quarter touchdown for the Demon Deacons.Cameron Glenn returned a fumble 83 yards for a TD with 1:30 remaining to seal it for Wake Forest.We played really well defensively. We were concerned because the other Power 5 teams weve played have thrown the ball and got off to fast starts, said Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson. We preached fast start all week.Dontae Strickland carried 13 times for 74 yards and a score to lead the Orange (2-4, 0-2). Eric Dungey was 16 of 25 for 156 yards passing.The game was played through the outer bands of Hurricane Matthew, with a steady rain through the first half.In the first half we drove the ball consistently in those conditions, Wolford said. And then we had the drive in the fourth quarter. Its good to be able to close out games like we did tonight.Syracuse forced a safety on the Deacons opening drive. Dungeys pass from the Wake Forest 12 was picked off by Amari Henderson in the end zone with a second left in the first half and the Deacons leading 14-9.We knew when the game started, with the weather the game was going to come down to turnovers and who was able to execute and stay patient the longest, Syracuse coach Dino Babers said. We had some costly turnovers, three-and-outs, and some bad situations. Those really forced us to do some things down the stretch to put it back in their favor.Wake Forest paid tribute to late alumnus Arnold Palmer with a pregame video tribute and his trademark umbrella logo painted at the 50-yard line.THE TAKEAWAYSYRACUSE: The Orange had their four-game win streak snapped against the Demon Deacons, and have lost four of its last five games. Syracuse could not move the ball consistently, picking up just two first downs in the first quarter and none in the third.WAKE FOREST: The Demon Deacons are 5-1 for just the eighth time in the program, their first since 2006. The 1944 team started 7-0. Wolford managed a solid game despite indicating pain in his right throwing hand for most of the second half.It was a stinger, Wolford said. Ive had those before. That was why I was shaking my hand. I think the rain affected my passes, too. Ive got to make some of those throws that I missed.PLAY OF THE DAYIt was Hendersons first career interception, which kept the Orange from stealing the lead at halftime, or for that matter scoring anymore points. The redshirt freshman, who was in on four tackles, has broken up six passes.STAT LINEWake Forest senior linebacker Marquel Lee had a career-best 15 tackles, included 12 solo tackles and a pair of sacks. We knew they like to go fast, and we had to punch them in the mouth and force some three-and-outs and get them off the field, Lee said.UP NEXTSYRACUSE: The Orange host No. 25 Virginia Tech on Saturday, then travel to Boston College on Oct. 22. The Orange have their bye-week before their last four ACC contests.WAKE FOREST: The Deacons travel next Saturday to No. 23 Florida State. They then have an open date before hosting Army, followed with three of their last four ACC games at home. Cheap Air Max 270 Ireland Authentic .

Bernie Ibini scored in his first game in nearly 18 months as Sydney FC advanced to the FFA Cup final, killing off Canberra Olympics dream run with a hard-fought 3-0 win.Semi-professional outfit Olympic made the Sky Blues work every step of the way at Viking Park on Wednesday night in a bid to become the first second-tier club to make the tournament decider.In the end they were undone by a Seb Ryall header, a cracking Milos Dimitrijevic free-kick and Ibinis strike, only spared a fourth goal thanks to Alex Brosques wayward header.Olympic stood by coach Frank Cachias vow that they would not park the bus against the A-League giants, producing a brave semi-final performance that was unfortunate not to yield a goal.Their well-organised back four pressed high and stood firm in the face of Sydneys methodical attack.At the other end the part-timers made promising entries into their visitors penalty area, Philippe Bernabo-Madrid missing a gilt-edged chance off a cross from one-time Sky Blues player Robbie Cattanach.But Sydney soon took control of possession and Rhyan Grant orchestrated the first-half opener, clipping a cross off a corner for Ryall to head home - Olympics first goal conceded in the elimination stage of the tournament.The Sky Blues would have doubled the lead soon thereafter had Olympics captain and goalkeeper Angelo Konstantinou not denied Bobo one on one for a second time.But the biggest missed opportunity was on Brosque.In his first start for more than 10 months he had only an open goal to contend with after Dimitrijevic chipped the ball over an onrushing Kostantinou, but somehow skewed his header into the post.Olympic returned with fire in the second half, the previously quiet Jeremy Habtemariam causing all kinds of trouble down the right flanks and talented young midfielder Daniel Colbertaldo slicing a 20-yard volley just wide.ddddddddddddBut they were soon punished after Phil Yarnold handballed, Dimitrijevic curling in a brilliant free-kick for a lead that would extend to three goals once Ibini entered the fray.The right winger, recovered from a badly broken leg, came on in the 82nd minute to play his first competitive match since the 2014-15 A-League grand final.He made it count, picked out perfectly by Matt Simons cross and coverting at the back post.Sydney will play either Melbourne City or Melbourne Victory in the final, with the two facing off in the other semi-final next week.To top it off with a goal, its definitely been a great night, Ibini said.Simo put a great ball across. I saw him running and I had to run as well because I knew Arnie would probably lose it at me if I didnt get to the back post.Brosque had been expecting a strong display from Olympic.They hadnt conceded a goal in the whole tournament for a reason, he said.They were structurally very good and hard to break down, and we just had to keep the ball moving and wait for opportunities.Its been quite a long time since the club won a trophy so this gives us a good chance.Konstantinou praised Olympics their brave performance in front of 5581 fans.We can hold our heads up high even though it was 3-0, he said.They beat two A-League teams 4-0 and they only beat us 3-0.It just came down to some quality finishing in the end.
