#3 for Duke is a speedster and super aggressive — can’t contain her — want to see her convert on a few goals next game. She makes great runs on goal but needs to make simple plays and not overthink — attack and convert.

They don’t look to Hase as a goal scorer. Only 3 on the season. She plays wide up top and her primary job is to attack the wing, cut along the touch line and slot the ball to onrushing attackers on the secondary break. She leads the team along with Oliaro with 13 assists…2nd in the nation in assists per game. 2nd team all-ACC performer.
 
Hope team is preparing for playing in the coldest weather of the season. Likely in the 30’s. Maybe get leggings like the basketball players sometimes wear.

It's been a while since I played competitive soccer, and I'm sure they'll have great, warm gear on the sidelines, but once you're moving on the field you really don't need it on your legs. Ears/hands, maybe.
 
Love the Duke SID pregame factoids

» Maggie Graham will play in her 100th career match Saturday in the quarterfinals.
» Katie Groff helped lead Duke to the 51st shutout over her last five years on defense against MSU last weekend.
