The only goal we have allowed happened in double OT
Duke Men’s team now ranked #12
Duke Women's team up to #4 this week... behind FSU, UNC and UCLA. Getting ready for the big match with UNC on Friday in Chapel Hill.
Tonight's game scares me, but I have high hopes we can pull this off. The opposition is a tough team, but in past years we have been facing them without a high-powered scoring threat. That's not the case this year. To give some perspective on that, last year's leading scorer was Marykate McGuire, and she now generally comes off the bench. I am still concerned about the opponent's high press, but if we can get through the midfield, we should generate some chances. Sophie Jones will be an important piece of the puzzle tonight. GTHC. LGD!
To paraphrase Herb Brooks
You were born to be soccer players—every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great soccer team UNC has. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it!
Halftime from the Cesspool
Duke 0 Tar Heels 0
Only 2 shots for the Blue Devils in the first half
Possession was nearly 50/50 in the half but UNC has had more scoring chances. Duke has controlled the ball for long stretches but has not connected on many lobs into the box. They need to be patient and work it in using shorter passes. Ruthie Jones has made a couple of brilliant saves to keep it scoreless.
We are getting dominated in the 2nd half - just hanging on.
