W&M Field Hockey Falls to No. 3 Duke, 4-0

NORFOLK, VA - Duke scored three goals in the first half, as the Blue Devils field hockey team, ranked third in the nation, defeated William and Mary, 4-0, this afternoon at Old Dominion’s Foreman Field.

The loss drops the Tribe’s record to 8-7, while Duke improves to 11-3.

The Blue Devils first goal came just 58 seconds into the game, as Julie Tromp put in a pass from Laura Suchoski. Duke struck again less than eight minutes later, this time with Nicole Dudek assisting a goal by Katie Grant. The Blue Devils entered halftime up 3-0 on a goal by Rachel Link, assisted by Cara-Lynn Lopresti, in the 26th minute.

After not taking a shot in the first half, the Tribe put up a better fight with six attempts in the second, but was still unable to get on the board. Duke scored the final goal of the game in the 54th minute as Marcy Burns scored on a penalty corner off assists from Grant and Lopresti.

Overall, the Tribe was out-shot, 20-6, and out-cornered 12-4. W&M sophomore goalkeeper Gwen Hunter (Seaville, NJ) made a career-high 12 saves in the contest, while Duke’s Caitlin Williams stopped three shots.

W&M returns to action with a pair of Colonial Athletic Association road games next weekend, traveling to play at Hofstra on Friday and facing Northeastern on Sunday.


Game Notes: W&M drops to 8-15-1 against Duke since 1973 ... This was the Tribe’s final non-conference game of the regular season, with the Green and Gold going 5-6 in those games ... Gwen Hunter’s 12 saves broke her previous career best of 11, set in W&M’s double-overtime, penalty-stroke loss against Penn State on August 28 of this season.
