Didn't see the end, but saw all 3 goals scored. Coach Kerr has an agressive team that is on the right track.

The first time in history that Duke men and women have defeated UNC in the same regular season

Both were in Chapel Hill at that! I have a feeling the odds will catch up with us on October 2nd.

Duke v UVA - scoreless at the half

Michelle Cooper is in covid protocol. Also another player but I can't remember the name at the moment.

Michelle Cooper is in covid protocol. Also another player but I can't remember the name at the moment.

The other covid protocol was Olivia Migli

And someone else is out due to injury from the unc game.

[chrishoke]

Virginia takes a 1-0 goal with 33 to go in the game on a beautiful free kick goal.

[chrishoke]

Virginia wins 1-0. Ther were the better team toaday.

Cooper and Migli on the field…it is likely a VERY different game

[DoubleBlue]

ACC road games are tough. Virginia is a good team. Cooper could have made the difference. Not a bad loss. Next up is unranked Virginia Tech on Sunday in Blacksburg. The Hokies are 7-2-1 and they battled the Cheats to a 2-2 tie last night in Chapel Hill. Hopefully Duke will be at full strength.

Why didn't they play?

COVID protocol

Freshman Defender Baleigh Bruster was also out. She had an apparent leg injury early in the Cheats game and was not ready to go for UVA. Brewster has been a pleasant surprise with solid defensive skills and occasional offensive playmaking. She should be a force for Duke's defense in future years.

According to her Duke profile, Bruster was ranked as the No. 15 overall recruit by TopDrawerSoccer.com in the 2021 class. She is a two-time United Soccer Coaches All-America selection and has been on all the USA national teams since age 14.

Wow, that's three pretty big losses. Not that we're looking for excuses, but when you're playing the #7 team in the country and you're missing your best offensive asset, a reliable starting forward, and a defender who played starter's minutes even in games she didn't start (Bruster player 62 minutes against Stanford coming off the bench), to lose 1-0 on the road is unfortunate, but still a first-rate performance. I missed the game, but the recap made it sound like a really even contest, even with us being short-footed.
