There were really no surprises in the first round of the ACC Tournament, as all of the higher ranked seeds won their games.
No. 12 seed Wake Forest captured a 68-57 victory over No. 13 Virginia, as Jewel Spear had 19 points on 46.7 percent shooting as well as three rebounds, two assists and two steals.
It was a game that Wake Forest led the entire way, as they shot 45.5 percent from the field with 34 paint points. That allowed them to break the game open in the third quarter after being up 28-25 at halftime, and they managed to score that same amount of points in that period alone.
Virginia made a run near the end, but by that point it was too late, and Wake Forest held on to face the No. 5 seed Florida State Seminoles on Thursday. For the Demon Deacons, Elise Williams was the other double-digit scorer with 16 points, three rebounds, three assists and four steals. Camryn Taylor (19 points, eight rebounds and three steals) and Alexia Smith (14 points, four rebounds and three assists) were the double-digit scorers for the Cavaliers.
