NORFOLK, VA. - The fourth-ranked Duke field hockey team improved to 12-3 (2-2 ACC) on the season on Saturday as the Blue Devils defeated 17th-ranked William & Mary, 3-1, at Old Dominion's Foreman Field.
The game proved to be a battle of defenses as neither team would score until the 21:22 mark, when freshman Amie Survilla got the Blue Devils on the board, netting her seventh goal of the season to put Duke on top, 1-0. William & Mary got off just two shot attempts in the half, as the Blue Devil defensive unit continued its stellar play.
Five minutes into the second half, William & Mary's Becky Van Zee knotted the score at one a piece as she scored on one of what would be three penalty corners on the day for the Tribe.
Senior Hilary Linton then recorded her third goal of the season four minutes later, to put the Blue Devils ahead, 2-1, before Survilla struck again at the 63-minute mark on a pass from sophomore Laura Suchoski, to put the score at 3-1, where it would remain. The goal was Survilla's eighth of the season, as the freshman recorded her first multi-goal game of her career.
William & Mary falls to 8-6 (2-2 CAA) with the loss as Duke picks up its 12th win of the season. Duke got off 14 shot attempts on the day, while holding the Tribe to seven. Blue Devil junior goalie Caitlin Williams notched three saves on the day while William & Mary's Gwen Hunter recorded six for the Tribe. Each team had three penalty corners.
Duke will square off against third-ranked Old Dominion (13-2, 5-0 CAA) on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Foreman Field, as the Blue Devils look to avenge a mid-season double overtime loss to the Lady Monarchs. ODU was defeated by No. 1 Maryland, 1-0, for the second time this season on Saturday. Duke is the only team to have beaten the Terps in 2006, as the Blue Devils posted a 2-0 win in College Park last Saturday to end Maryland's 21-game win streak.
