Nice start for the Duke Men, 4-0 over High Point in the first quarter!
4-0 Duke nearing the end of the 1Q. Sowers with a first-quarter hat trick.

Pretty dumb sequence of events to end the quarter. Duke almost forces a turnover, but the ref accidentally kicks the ball and it winds up back in High Point’s possession. Adler makes a great save but gets caught out-of-net and High Point scores an easy one. Bad beat.
4-1 Duke at the end of the 1Q.
This board is dead today. 13-6 Duke. Sloppy play.

God are we being lackadaisical with ball. I know we are ahead, comfortably, but dear lord.
Has Coach D been resting his starters? I mean the last half dozen possessions we look like a different team.
Sowers, Adler and our faceoff guy have saved our butts today.

Game’s not over yet. High Point on a 3-0 run to make it 15-10 Duke with 6:00 left. Need to wake up.
We have not scored in 8 minutes.

Great assist by Brendan.

Unimpressive win and inconsistent play if this team aspires to a national title.
16-10 Duke is your final. We play the winner of Loyola/Denver next weekend with a trip to the Final Four on the line.
Duke was sloppy at times, but I believe High Point was much improved over the team we saw in early March. I thought it was interesting that Coach D opted to go with three midfields. I don't recall seeing JP Basile playing midfield before today and the third midfield of Lowrie (3 goals), Walsh (1 assist), and Quigley provided an unexpected boost.
