DURHAM, N.C. – The Blue Devils open the long awaited 2021 campaign Friday, Feb. 12 at Davidson. Opening draw is set for 5 p.m., on ESPN +.
SCOUTING THE WILDCATS
The Blue Devils face the Wildcats for the 15th time in program history as Duke holds a flawless 14-0 series record.
Davidson was picked to finish sixth in the Atlantic 10 league standings after finishing the condensed 2020 season 2-4.
Davidson returns 78 percent of its scoring from a season ago, including two of its three leading scorers. Sophomore Anna West and junior Gianna New combined for 19 goals and three assists last season as the two recorded 10 and nine goals, respectively. New also returns as the Wildcats' leading draw controller, winning 27 draws during the 2020 season, while West shot a team-best 2-of-3 on free position attempts one year ago.
DUKE IN THE POLLS
Duke finished 18th in the final Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) poll of the season, announced after the cancellation of the 2020 season.
In addition, Duke was 16th in the Inside Lacrosse Media Poll and 19th in the U.S. Lacrosse Magazine Poll.
The Blue Devils will begin the 2021 slate 15th in the Preseason IWLCA poll and 11th by Inside Lacrosse.
CHALLENGING SLATE AHEAD
In 2021, Duke is slated to face six ranked opponents in the preseason IWLCA poll. The Blue Devils will go against No. 1 North Carolina, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 3 Syracuse, No. 12 Boston College, No. 16 Virginia and No. 18 Virginia Tech.
The ACC landed seven teams on the preseason poll to lead all conferences.
TRIO SELECTED INSIDE LACROSSE PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA
Junior attacker Maddie Jenner, graduate attacker Gabby Rosenzweig and graduate defender Callie Humphrey were tabbed Preseason All-America selections by Inside Lacrosse.
Jenner earned first team recognition in 2021 after being tabbed honorable mention last season, while Humphrey garnered third team honors for the third time during her Blue Devil career. Rosenzweig was selected to the third team for the second year in a row after receiving the accolade last year during her undergraduate career at Penn.
Jenner started all nine games for the Blue Devils at the draw in the shortened 2020 season. She tallied 96 draw controls, 21 points on 16 goals and five assists, four ground balls and three caused turnovers through the nine contests. The 6-2 attacker finished second in the country and led the ACC in draw controls per game with 10.67 and helped Duke rank first in the conference and third nationally in draw controls per game (18.78). Her 96 draw controls placed fifth in Duke history for a single season despite the shortened year.
Rosenzweig comes to Durham after spending four seasons at Penn and is enrolled in Duke's Fuqua School of Business Master of Management Studies Program. Last season, Rosenzweig was named to the Tewaaraton Watch List as she set Penn's career points record with 247. She started all five games and tallied 11 goals and 11 assists for 22 points, five ground balls and two caused turnovers.
As a 5-6 defender, Humphrey started all nine contests last season for the Blue Devils and anchored the defense with 16 caused turnovers and 18 ground balls. She was named an Inside Lacrosse Media Third Team All-America honoree and recorded her best statistical performance of the 2020 season with a season-high five ground balls and four caused turnovers at William & Mary.
ROSENZWEIG COLLECTS PRESEASON ALL-ACC NODS
Graduate transfer Gabby Rosenzweig was recently selected to the Preseason All-ACC Team. Rosenzweig comes to Durham after spending the last four years at Penn and is enrolled in Duke's Fuqua School of Business Master's of Management Studies program.
DUKE TABBED SIXTH IN PRESEASON POLL
Duke was tabbed sixth in the most recent ACC poll released by the conference on Tuesday. The Blue Devils finished 6-3 overall and 1-1 in conference play before the 2020 season was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
PUT YOURSELF IN THE STANDS WITH A FAN CUTOUT
Blue Devil fans can support Duke women's lacrosse with cutouts of yourself, family members or favorite pets. Cutouts will be displayed for the entirety of the season regardless of the future determination for allowing spectators into the venue.
All cutouts are $75 each and you will receive an individual photo of your cutout in the stadium and for an additional $25, head coach Kerstin Kimel will sign the cutout for you. Proceeds from sales will go directly to Duke Athletics to support our student-athletes during these unprecedented times.
FAN INFORMATION
Due to the impact of COVID-19, Duke University will begin its spring sport program seasons without spectators at home events. Contests played on Duke's campus will include essential game management personnel and broadcast media. Traditional parking lots used by fans on game day will be closed.
