That's a final, Duke wins 1-0 to advance to the quarterfinal round to play the winner of the next game today, Florida State vs. Penn State on May 9th.
Congratulations on the victory! Let's keep this going.
Indeed...let's go, Blue Devils! We have a tough next round match against conference foe FSU this coming Sunday. We live about 10 mins from WakeMed Soccer Park but unfortunately will be unable to attend due to Mother's Day festivities. The sacrifices we must make for family!
0-0 at the half vs. FSU in the Elite Eight.
Scoreless in regulation. Now on to the first 10:00 overtime. FSU controlled the second half, but Duke's defense was stout. Anything can happen in OT. FSU is 13-0, ranked #1 and is the #1 seed in the tournament. Go Duke!
We are hanging on, barely. FSU has dominated the ball. Ruthie Jones has been great.

Going to the second OT.
1. Is OT sudden-death?
2. Is this game televised or streaming anywhere? (ETA: found a stream here on the same shameful website listed above.)
Yes, that's the link for streaming. There are 2 sudden-death OT's after which it is decided by penalty kicks. I like our chances in penalty kicks. 2 minutes to go in OT #2.
Great goal-line stand by the Devils—showing a ton of heart! On to PKs!
Going to PKs.
Going to penalty kicks.

FSU wins, 5-3 on PKs.
Welp. FSU wins 5-3 in penalty kicks. FSU’s goalie made the difference-making save. Still gave the top seed everything they could handle—lots to be proud of.
It was enjoyable to watch this team. Much to be proud of.
