DURHAM, N.C. – Junior Katie Cronin's career-high five goals lifted No. 23 Duke over No. 12 Virginia, 16-10, Saturday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium.
The win marked Duke's 300th win as a program and snapped a three-game skid versus the Cavaliers.
"I'm really proud of our team," head coach Kerstin Kimel said. "I told the girls last week after Notre Dame that we are very close and a lot of hard work went into this week to prepare to get better and to play a really good Virginia team. I'm just so proud of our kids. They came out today unfazed by anything and just really executed our game plan from start to finish."
After a back and forth first half, Duke scored four in a row over a five-minute span midway through the second half to take a 12-7 lead. Virginia was able to respond and pull the game within three, 13-10, but Duke scored three straight to close the game.
Eight different Blue Devils found the back of the net with Cronin leading the side. Catherine Cordrey, Olivia Carner, Maddie Jenner and Veronica Hineman all added two each. Saturday was the first time that a Blue Devil scored five goals in a single game this season.
Chase Henriquez had a career day for Duke in the goal, making 13 stops for a 56.5 save percentage. Her 13 saves were a season high. Katie Cosgrove and Kay Conway assisted the defensive effort with two caused turnovers apiece.
Duke dominated draw controls throughout the game, limiting Virginia to three a half while the Blue Devils walked away with 22 in the game. Jenner, the nation's leader in the circle, powered Duke with nine while Cubby Biscardi and Hineman helped with five and four, respectively.
The Blue Devils remain at home as they face East Carolina on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.
