DURHAM, N.C.—For the second time this season Duke senior goaltender Danny Fowler has been selected as the USILA BSN National Defensive Player of the Week. Fowler anchored an outstanding defensive effort in the Blue Devils' 11-8 win over No. 3 Notre Dame last weekend.
The Wantagh, N.Y., native made 12 saves and allowed just eight goals to push his season record to 8-3 and his save percentage to .527 – second best in the ACC. With Fowler leading the charge, the Blue Devils held Notre Dame scoreless on four extra-man opportunities and to just 19 shots in the first three quarters. He made five saves in the third quarter alone, allowing the Blue Devils to pull away 10-5 heading into the final period. Duke held Notre Dame to just .250 shooting, while the eight goals scored by the Irish were the second fewest this season
In Duke's 7-1 stretch, Fowler is averaging 8.88 saves per game and owns a 7.32 goals against average and a .563 save percentage. He has stopped at least 50 percent of shots faced in seven of the eight games and made double-digit saves in four of them. He is 8-3 on the year with an 8.56 goals against average and .527 save percentage.
Duke (9-3, 2-1) closes its ACC regular season slate Saturday, April 15 against Virginia. The Blue Devils and Cavaliers face off at 1 p.m., on ACC Network Extra.
