Last Time We Met
- Joe Robertson scored with 57 seconds left in overtime to lift the Blue Devils to a thrilling 10-9 victory over Loyola in the 2021 NCAA quarterfinals. Robertson finished the day with three goals and an assist.
- Duke trailed Loyola, 9-8, after Kevin Lindley netted his second of the day to set up the thrilling ending. Evan James led all Loyola scorers with four goals and an assist.
- Brennan O'Neill registered four goals and an assist on the afternoon, including the tying goal on man up with 1:09 left in the fourth quarter. Michael Sowers had one goal and three assists, including the pass to O'Neill on the tying score.
Numbers to Watch
- Here are the players and the numbers to watch moving forward.
Joe Robertson
- Robertson needs just five points to become the 14th Duke player to reach 200 career points. Justin Guterding '18 was the last Blue Devil to reach the benchmark and only eight have done so since 2005. Robertson also needs just 12 goals to become the ninth Blue Devil to score 150 in his career.
Mike Adler
- Adler leads all active goalies in saves (701) and minutes played with 3,417. He is 31 saves shy of moving into the top 25 on the NCAA all-time saves list. Only four goalies who have competed in the 21st century are in the top 25 on the NCAA career chart. He needs 15 minutes to move into a tie for 25th in NCAA Division I history and 238 to break into the top 10.
Brennan O'Neill
- Sophomore Brennan O'Neill owns 84 points (67g, 17a) in 26 games. He needs 16 to reach the century mark in his Duke career.
Dyson Williams
- With 34 points after four games, Dyson Williams pushed his career total to 89 in 32 career games. He needs 11 more points to reach the 100-point plateau. He had 30 points in eight games as a rookie and 25 in 15 games last year.
Up Next
- Duke continues its four-game road swing back in the DMV next Saturday, March 19 against Towson. The Blue Devils and Tigers face off at Audi Field at 6 p.m., Duke opens ACC play, March 26 at Syracuse.
