At the end of the day back on Mar. 2, the then 19th-ranked Duke Blue Devils
sat 2-4 and had just lost 16-7 to the then top-ranked Maryland Terrapins at
home in the familiar surroundings of Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C.<br />
<br />
It was a loss that subsequently knocked the six-time Final Four participants
out of the national rankings for the first time since April 2004.<br />
<br />
Many doubted that the Blue Devils would recover to earn a spot in postseason
play from what they had seen after three straight losses against top-10
opponents Denver, Notre Dame, and then Maryland, put Duke at such a woeful spot
early in the season.<br />
<br />
However, those who have followed this team for the seven years that Duke
head coach John Danowski has led the program, know and understand something
about Duke lacrosse that many don't.<br />
<br />
It’s about character first, athleticism second.<br />
<br />
It's not only individual stick skills and special teams play that Danowski
seeks to develop in his team's play from year to year, it's about developing
the character of each of his players and bringing them together as a collective
to draw from all their positives to function and become successful as one unit.<br />
<br />
"I love our kids and I believe we'll get better," is what Danowski
said after that tough loss to Maryland.<br />
<br />
The Blue Devils did exactly that after that and began a resurgence that
consisted of <a href="http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2013/03/09/il-scene-march-8" target="_blank">beating the defending NCAA champion and then fourth-ranked LoyolaGreyhounds 9-8 at home</a> and never looking back for nine straight games.<br />
<br />
Heading into the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Tournament, they were the ‘hottest’
team in the country at the time before the <a href="http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2013/04/26/il-scene-acc-semis" target="_blank">equally hot North Carolina Tar Heelstopped them in a thrilling 18-17 shootout</a> in the semifinals.<br />
<br />
Regardless of suffering that loss and not reclaiming the ACC title that they
owned for the past year, the Blue Devils continued on and finished ended the regular
season with what seemed like a promotional game against a first-year program in
Marquette.<br />
<br />
An enthusiastic and very interested crowd of over 4,000 Midwesterners in attendance
witnessed Duke’s mastery of play in a 19-3 victory over the Blue Eagles, but
more importantly provided the Blue Devils another game to play before the NCAA
Tournament began.<br />
<br />
They didn’t find out where they would start in NCAA postseason play until
the players started checking their phones on the plane as they returned home
from Wisconsin.<br />
<br />
It didn’t really matter to them as they were just happy to be in the mix to
return to where they’ve been so many times – in the conversation as potential
national champions.<br />
<br />
“You learn from your mistakes, you keep tryin’ to get better,” head coach <a href="http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=25943&SPID=2027&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=4200&ATCLID=1385205&Q_SEASON=2012" target="_blank">John Danowski</a> said before they were to play the Greyhounds
in a return matchup in the first-round of tournament play.<br />
<br />
“I think that what this season’s about, and every season’s about. For our
guys, this is not a goal. The goal is always to improve and get better.”<br />
<br />
After beating the Greyhounds 12-11 in overtime last Sunday, the Blue Devils showed
more improvement and that they could win a game after falling behind and making
such a remarkable comeback to do so.<br />
<br />
Duke now has another opportunity to making it to an unprecedented seventh consecutive
Final Four weekend of play, and chance at winning its second-ever national
championship under Danowski’s direction.<br />
<br />
“You just have to meet the challenges that are in front of you,” Danowski
said as his team prepared to face the tournament second-seed, the Notre Dame
Fighting Irish, in the quarterfinals on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium in
Indianapolis, Ind.<br />
<br />
“It’s not anything you plan on. Not anything you prepare for, or that you
teach, or that you can coach. It’s just something your players choose to
respond to.”<br />
<br />
The Duke Blue Devils players certainly responded to the challenge that was
presented to them earlier this season, and have responded accordingly with
ample success to return to a place they are familiar with.<br />
<br />
Against the Fighting Irish, who<a href="http://insidelacrosse.com/news/2013/02/16/il-scene-feb-15-17" target="_blank"> beat them handily 13-5 back in mid-February</a>,
the Blue Devils know that they are a different and better team than they were
then.<br />
<br />
Danowski believes they are and their record and play since Mar. 2 shows it.<br />
<br />
If listening to the coach doesn’t convince you that he and his players
understand the method to their madness, senior midfielder and captain David
Lawson described what happens for Duke lacrosse teams to peak at the right time
of the season.<br />
<br />
“I kind of feel that it happens every year,” he said.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"It’s probably a tribute to how coach Danowski and all the coaches coach, but
as the season goes on, we get more confidence. We clean up our stick work, we
get used to playing with each other, developing chemistry, and everything just
starts to come together for us – offensively and defensively. We just play and
practice so much that it just takes a ton of reps to figure it out, but when we
start to figure it out, everything really comes together for us.”</blockquote>
<b>Editor's Update:</b> Lawson went on to tally a career-high five goals against Notre Dame, including the game winner that sent the Blue Devils onto their <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/duke-blue-devils-return-to-ncaa-lacrosse-final-four" target="_blank">seventh consecutive Final Four appearance</a>.<br />

Blue Devils</a> travel to face the top-ranked Maryland Terrapins in the
quarterfinal round of the <a href="http://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/lacrosse-women/d1" target="_blank">2013 NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament</a> at F.H. &
Lacrosse Complex in College Park, Md. on Saturday.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Blue Devils (14-5) are riding a three-game win streak
after coming up short in a disappointing 10-7 loss to the Virginia Cavaliers in
the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Tournament three weeks ago.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Duke beat both Princeton (10-9 OT) and Navy (10-5) to
advance to their 13<sup>th</sup> appearance in the NCAA tournament
quarter-finals.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The top-seeded Terrapins (20-0) are the team to beat in the postseason
tournament, and Duke has been working to prepare itself accordingly as they
will face Maryland for the 26<sup>th</sup> time in the two teams’ history.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Our experience from last weekend has us feeling really
good, really excited to go up to Maryland,” Duke head coach Kirsten Kimel said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We know it’s a challenge, but we have nothing to lose. They
have not lost a game all year. I think our first game of the year (against
Maryland), we were not aggressive playing them at all. We got into a hole early
against them, but I think we’ve evolved a lot since then, so I’m looking
forward to going up there and giving them a real challenge.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though she has been cleared to practice, Duke will
likely not have top goal scorer Makenzie Hommel back in the lineup, as she is
still recovering from a concussion injury suffered during the ACC tournament.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s really up to her and how she’s feeling,” Kimel said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I think she’s trying to be smart about it.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even without Hommel, the Blue Devils’ two wins in the NCAA
tournament so far has shown how other scoring leaders like Kerrin Maurer, the
team’s top point-getter, and Tayolor Trimble have helped to keep the Blue
Devils on their path of success<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>so far
at the offensive end of the field.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Duke defense led by freshman goalkeeper Kelsey Duryea,
recently selected as a second-team All-American, at one point held Navy
scoreless for 40 minutes, during the team’s first-round win.</div>

<b>Game Notes:</b><br />
<br />
The eighth-ranked Duke Blue Devils host the defending NCAA champion
and ninth-ranked Loyola Greyhounds in first-round play in the NCAA
tournament at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C. on Sunday.<br />
<br />
As the tournament seven-seed, the Blue Devils (12-5) take to the field in postseason play for the 17<sup>th</sup> time in their history and seventh straight seeking to follow up on six straight trips to the Final Four weekend.<br />
<br />
The Greyhounds (11-4) will begin play in their 19<sup>th</sup>
NCAA tournament and third in four years while facing Duke for only the
second time in postseason play during the first round, having lost to
the Blue Devils 12-7 back in 2008.<br />
<br />
Both teams met earlier in the season during the two teams’ 25<sup>th</sup> meeting all-time with Duke emerging as a 9-8 winner over Loyola.<br />

<br />
<br />
It
was a win that sparked a nine-game unbeaten streak for the Blue Devils
while the loss forced the Greyhounds to work harder as they went on to
finish the season with a 7-2 record since that game.<br />
<br />
Jordan Wolf
leads the Blue Devils with 68 points (47g, 21a) while Justin Ward tops
the Greyhounds’ scoring list with 57 points (27g, 30a).<br />
<br />
The
Greyhounds will be challenged to minimize Duke draw man Brendan Fowler’s
work at the face off X as he is ranked third nationally in faceoff win
percentage (.650).<br />
<br />
In the cage, Duke’s Justin Turri has handled
the goalkeeping duties with his first win coming against the Greyounds
while backstopping the Blue Devils to earn a 10-1 record since then by
tallying a 9.05 goals-against-average and .503 save percentage.<br />
<br />
Loyola’s
Jack Runkel has started between the pipes in all 15 of his team’s games
to date, sporting an 11-4 record to go along with an 8.58
goals-against-average and .521 save percentage.<br />

Tournament play with a decisive 16-7 victory over 10th-ranked Lehigh in
front of 1,405 spectators at Fetzer Field on Saturday. The Tar Heels

<b>Game Notes</b><br />
<br />
The top-ranked and tournament
fifth-seed North Carolina Tar Heels host the 10th-ranked and unseeded
Lehigh Mountain Hawks in first-round play in the 2013 NCAA Men’s
Lacrosse Tournament at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C. on Saturday.<br />
<br />
Both
teams are two of the hottest in the country currently as the Tar Heels
are riding a nine-game unbeaten streak while the Mountain Hawks have won
their last seven games.<br />
<br />
The Tar Heels are playing their 28th
game in the NCAA postseason tournament, most recently suffering a 16-14
loss to the Denver Pioneers in the first round of tournament play in
2012.<br />
<br />
The Mountain Hawks will play their second-ever NCAA
tournament game and second in as many seasons after losing 10-9 to the
Maryland Terrapins during first-round play in last season’s tournament.<br />
<br />
Senior
captain Marcus Holman leads the Tar Heels in scoring with 74 points
(36g, 38a) while senior David DeMaria tops Lehigh’s list with 68 points
(31g, 37 a).<br />
<br />
Freshman goalkeeper Kieran Burke has backstopped
North Carolina all season, starting 15 games (10.14 gaa, .552 save pct.)
while sophomore Matt Poillon has carried a majority of the load for
Lehigh starting 13 of 16 games (7.37 gaa, .601 save pct.) during the
season.<br />

<br />
That was the only other game in which Duke played 60-plus minutes all season. <br />
<br />
That experience came into play as a young chorus of scorers advanced the Blue Devils on to the quarterfinals past a pesky Tigers squad to face the the tournament eight-seed Navy Midshipmen on Sunday.<br />
<br />
Interestingly enough, the Midshipmen earned their first NCAA tournament win, even while having qualified for postseason play for the third year in a row.<br />
<br />
Interestingly enough, Duke coach Kirsten Kimel will lead her squad against her former coach at Maryland, <a href="http://www.navysports.com/sports/w-lacros/mtt/timchal_cindy00.html" target="_blank">Cindy Timchal</a>.<br />
<br />
Timchal is the leader in all-time wins amongst men's and women's lacrosse coaches and possesses eight national titles.<br />
<br />
This will be a game not to miss on Sunday at Noon.<br />

Tar Heels who beat the Cavaliers 13-11 to win the 1996 ACC title, the
last time that North Carolina hoisted the tournament trophy.<br />
<br />
The
Tar Heels are 18-17 in ACC tournament play with seven championship
titles while the Cavaliers hold a slightly better 20-7 resume to go
along with six tournament wins.<br />

<b>Game Notes:</b><br />
<br />
The
Tar Heels, ranked third nationally, are looking to avenge an 11-8 loss
to the Blue Devils, ranked sixth nationally, back in mid-March at Fetzer
Field.<br />
<br />
Since then, both teams have gone on two of the best
winning streaks in the country as Duke is riding a nine-game unbeaten
streak with the Tar Heels haven't lost in seven games, since losing to
the Blue Devils.<br />
<br />
Both teams top the ACC in numerous categories
including goals per game (Duke - 13.53, UNC - 12.77), and assists per
game (Duke - 8.07, UNC - 7.08), and each has players topping the
league's scoring lists.<br />
<br />
Duke's Jordan Wolf leads the ACC with
2.67 goals per game, followed closely behind by both North Carolina's
Joey Sankey and Marcus Holman who have averaged 2.46 goals per game. <br />
<br />
Holman leads the ACC tallying 4.77 points per game with Wolf sitting in close second with 3.93 points per game.<br />
<br />
Bottom
line, on paper both teams are sitting more or less even, which sets up
for another great rival game in the Triangle as each team will battle
for a place in the ACC Championship final game on Sunday.<br />

Both the fifth-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels and seventh-ranked Duke Blue Devils will be ready to take each other on in their semi-final match-up in the upcoming <a href="http://www.theacc.com/championships/acc-mens-lacrosse-championship.html" target="_blank">2013 ACC Men's Lacrosse Championship</a> tournament that will take place at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. beginning on Fri. Apr. 26.<br />
<br />
The Tar Heels (10-3) beat the third Division I team in the state, the first-year High Point Panthers (3-11), at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill on Saturday, handing their guests a 20-8 loss.<br />
<br />
The Tar Heels' senior captain Marcus Holman set a new school record for most consecutive games with a goal (28) while leading his team to its seventh straight win since losing to the Blue Devils on Mar. 13.<br />
<br />
The Blue Devils (10-4) prepare to face off against the Big East's Rutgers Scarlet Knights (2-11) at Yurcak Field in Brunswick, N.J., looking to extend their current eight-game win streak, the longest current active run in the nation.<br />
<br />
Duke outlasted and outblasted fellow ACC member, the Virginia Cavaliers last week by a score of 19-16 and are carrying a lot of positive momentum late in the season as tournament time approaches.<br />
<br />
With both the Tar Heels and Blue Devils set on a collision course to meet next week, there is no doubt that their second meeting of the season could go down as one of the best games ever played between the two schools.<br />
<br />
Get ready for a big scoring explosion between these two teams on Friday.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, a look back:<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The seventh-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels (6-3) will host
the 10th-ranked Johns Hopkins Blue Jays (6-2) on the big stage at Kenan
Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C. on Saturday.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Johns
Hopkins represents the longest standing non-conference rivalry on North
Carolina's schedule as both teams are meeting for the 42 time with the
Blue Jays holding a 24-17 advantage in the series, but with the Tar
Heels claiming five victories in the two teams' last six meetings.</span></div>
<div data-canvas-width="3.647359968185425" data-font-name="g_font_p0_29" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 13.12px; left: 170.857px; top: 186.88px; transform-origin: 0% 0% 0px; transform: scale(0.91184, 1);">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hosting
the Blue Jays in Kenan Stadium will also serve as test run for the Tar
Heels' operations staff as they will host the upcoming 2013 ACC
Champinships here from Apr. 26-28.</span></div>
<div data-canvas-width="222.33151806068417" data-font-name="g_font_p0_29" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 13.12px; left: 96px; top: 907.52px; transform-origin: 0% 0% 0px; transform: scale(1.02457, 1);">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Johns
Hopkins is coming off a big 15-8 win over Virginia in the Konica
Minolta Faceoff Classic last week, while the Tar Heels are riding their
current three-game win streak, with their most recent victory, an 18-12
decision over the Brown Bears, coming at home earlier in the week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">A
drive to win, history, prestige, and pride all play into making this
one a great lacrosse game between two storied programs that share 13
national titles between them.</span></div>

<b>Game Notes:</b> <br />
<br />
The sixth-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels host cross-Triangle and Tobacco Road rival, the 17th-ranked Duke Blue Devils for this midweek nationally televised matchup.<br />
<br />
The opening faceoff is 90 minutes away it is sunny and clear and a brisk 55 degrees with game time temperatures expected to dip down into the high forties. <br />
<br />
Both teams are coming off big wins from last weekend as Duke (3-4) topped No. 4 Loyola 9-8 while the North Carolina (3-2) edged No. 5 Princeton 16-15.<br />
<br />
This will be the 68th meeting between the two teams, with the Tar Heels leading the series, 38-29.<br />
<br />
Duke has won 24 of the two teams' meetings dating back to 1996, and 15 of the 16 meetings dating back to 2005.<br />
<br />
North Carolina last defeated the Blue Devils in 2010, a 13-7 victory in Durham.<br />

Regardless of past records, a game between Duke and Carolina is about the present and what happens from here until the end of the season. <br />
<br />
This will be a good one - follow along, watch, and interact as the game goes along. <br />

The 11th-seeded North Carolina Tar Heels host the fifth-ranked
Princeton Tigers at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C. on Saturday.<br />
<br />
It
is a beautiful sunny March morning, about 46 degress, with hundreds of
people already on hand outside the gates as local school children
participate in a Turn It Pink promotional event that is part of the
game.<br />
<br />
Carolina's players are wearing pink T-shirts with the Tar Heels logo on the front during warmups.<br />
<br />
North
Carolina (2-2) is coming off a triple-overtime 10-9 loss to No. 2 Notre
Dame last week while Princeton (3-0) is coming off its recent 14-11 win
over Villanova.<br />
<br />
The two teams meet for the 15th time during their all-time series against one another, with the series tied 7-7.<br />
Of the previous 14 games played, seven have been one-goal contests.<br />

The Duke Blue Devils host the defending champion and fourth-ranked
Loyola Greyhounds at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C. on Friday night.<br />
<br />
Duke and Loyola are meeting for the 25th time with the Blue Devils holding a 14-10 advantage over the Greyhounds.<br />
The last time these two teams met was last year when Loyola beat the Blue Devils 13-8 in Baltimore, Md.<br />
<br />
Loyola is currently 4-1 with its most recent win coming last Saturday against Bellarmine, an 8-6 decision.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, Duke dropped out of the rankings for the first time since April 2004, and continues to struggle early, holding a 2-4 record, having lost 16-7 last weekend to the top-ranked team in the country, the Maryland Terrapins.<br />

<br />

<br />
No. 19 Duke fell to 2-3 on the year, while facing off against the No. 15 Penn Quakers during their
season opener.<br />
<br />
The Quakers weren't stangers to knowing how to top the Blue Devils, as they had also beater the Blue Devils when they last
visited Franklin Field back in 2011.<br />
<br />
Duke rallied from a 5-2 deficit in the first quarter, took a 7-6 advantage at the half, but struggled to score in
the final 30 minutes, netting just two goals.<br />
<br />
Jordan Wolf, Myles Jones and Josh Offit scored two goals apiece for Duke in the game. <br />
<br />
"Penn played great and they're a great young team," said head coach John Danowski.<br />
<br />
"They certainly put it to us." <br />
<br />
The Blue Devils now prepare for another big matchup at home as the top-seeded Maryland Terrapins travel to Koskinen on Saturday.<br />
<br />
The game will be televised on ESPNU starting at 11 a.m. with live game notes and commentary featured on InsideLacrosse.com.<br />

The High Point University men's lacrosse team took a 12-5 loss at
Bellarmine on Saturday afternoon in Louisville, Ky.<br />
as Matt
Thistle scored two goals and Bryce Parietti tallied one goal and an assist.<br />
<br />
"The team gave a great effort for four quarters but our midfield just
couldn't do enough to limit Bellarmine in transition," said head coach
Jon Torpey.<br />
<br />
"They are one of the best transition teams we will face. We
limited their opportunities at times but their experience showed in the
second half. Defensively, we played well on ball but we need to improve
off ball. Mitchell Dupere, Bryce Parietti and Austin Geisler played
well. The team keeps getting better every day."<br />
<br />
With the loss, the Panthers fell to 1-4 on the season and will wrap up the three-game road trip with their next game against the Jacksonville Dolphins on Mar. 2. <br />

<br />
No. 13 Massachusetts outscored No. 7 North
Carolina 4-0 in the final quarter and rallied past the Tar Heels 12-11 Saturday
afternoon at KSU Stadium in the third annual Southern Showdown.<br />
<br />
Back-to-back unassisted goals by Grant
Whiteway and Connor Mooney in the final five minutes capped the rally for the
Minutemen who improved to 2-0 on the season while Carolina falls to 1-1.<br />
<br />
UMass has not lost a regular season game
since 2011 and continued that string with a fierce second half rally that
erased a 7-4 UNC halftime lead.<br />
<br />
A balanced scoring attack led the Minutemen
as they got three goals from Kyle Smith and three from Connor Mooney.<br />
<br />
Andrew Sokol scored twice for UMass and his
two scores in the earlier stages of the fourth quarter pulled the Minutemwn
with a single goal and set the stage for the late-gam heroics.<br />
<br />
Grant Whiteway also had two goals for UMass
who had seven unassisted goal amongst their total of seven.<br />
<br />
Carolina has two goals each from Marcus
Holman, Jimmy Bitter and Spencer Parks.
Carolina also relied on unassisted goal, recording four assists on 11
tallies.<br />
<br />
Carolina ousthot the Minutemen 43-38 but
UMass had the edge after halftime 22-15.<br />
<br />
Zachary Oliveri turned in an All-America calibre performance for the
Minutemen in the goal as he made 18 saves while allowing only 10 goals in
59:39.<br />
<br />
He twice stuffed UNC game-tying
efforts in the final two minutes, saving a shot by Davey Emala on a UNC
extra-man opportunity with 2:07 to play and then making a save on a shot by
Greg McBride with two seconds left in the match.<br />
<br />
After jumping to an early 2-0 lead on goals
by Jimmy Bitter and Spencer Parks, the Tar Heels led the entire game until
Whiteway scored the tying goal with 4:16 to play.<br />
<br />
Just 58 seconds later, Mooney scored the
game-winner for UMass.<br />
<br />
Carolina had
three-goal leads on three occasions at 6-3, 7-4 and 11-8 but could never shake
the Minutemen.<br />
<br />
UMass had clawed within
9-8 late in the third quarter but goals by Spencer Parks with 1:12 to play in
the third quarter and by Marcus Holman with seconds left in the period made it
11-8.<br />
<br />
Carolina would not score again as
was limited to just three shots in the opening 12 and a half minutes of the
final period, a time span in which UMass claimed the lead for good.<br />
<br />
UMass won the ground ball battle 39-38 while
the Tar Heels had a slight in the face-off circle at 15-12. Kieran Burke finished with 12 saves for the
Tar Heels.<br />
<br />
The Tar Heels will be back in action on
Saturday, February 23 when they play host to Fairfield at 12 noon at Fetzer
Field.<br />

<br />
The No. 4 Blue Devils bounced back from a season-opening loss to the No. 8 Denver Pioneeers on Saturday with a 21-9 win over the Jacksonville Dolphins at Koskinen Stadium on Sunday.<br />
<br />
Attackman Jordan Wolf led Duke with four goals, totaling eight on the season in just two games played.<br />
<br />
The Blue Devils (1-1) benefited from 15 different players tallying goals and exhibiting the 'team concept' that coach John Danowski always has his team play with.<br />
<br />
On that note, Danowski gave all four of his goalkeepers playing time :
Dan Wigrizer (3 saves in 30:00 - Starter), Kyle Turri (5 saves in
16:55),
Ben Krebs (3 saves in 7:53) and Luke Aaron (1 save in 5:12).<br />
<br />
Freshmen Case Matheis, Deemer Class, Seamus Connelly, Myles Jones, John
Shaffer, and sophomore Tanner Scott all recorded their first career
goals with the Blue Devils.<br />
<br />
Duke outshot (42-38) and outworked Jacksonville, scooping up 43 GB's to the Dolphins' 33 GB's.<br />
<br />
The Blue Devils continue their early homestand by hosting the No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday.<br />

<br />
The Air Force Falcons worked out the kinks from a 16-8 loss suffered at the hands of the No. 7 North Carolina Tar Heels and put a damper on another exciting weekend of lacrosse at High Point's Vert Stadium.<br />
<br />
The Panthers were riding high after beating the Towson Tigers 9-7 on Friday, and earning the program's first-ever win in Division 1 lacrosse competition.<br />
<br />
The Falcons (1-1) started quickly and didn't let up on the Panthers (1-2) who got on the board during the first three quarters or play, but couldn't beat keepers Austin Fox and Doug Gouchoe during the final quarter, as they backstopped the 14-4 victory for Air Force.<br />
<br />
Bright spots for High Point included attackman Dan Lomas (1g) and Dan Thistle (1g, 2a) continuing their three-game scoring streaks while goalkeeper Austin Geisler recorded an impressive 19 saves on 47 shots faced.<br />
<br />
Special teams play didn't work to High Point's favor as the Panthers went 0-6 in EMO situations while the Falcons capitalized on 2-of-9 man-up situations that were afforded to them.<br />
<br />
“Air Force is a really solid, well-coached team,” said High Point head coach Jon
Torpey.<br />
<br />
“They won every facet of the game from ground balls to time of
possession. I thought we came out with a lot of energy but didn't
execute well. We will spend the week practicing and getting ready for a
very good St. Joseph's team.” <br />
<br />
The Panthers prepare to play their first road game of the season on Saturday when they travel to face the St. Joseph's Hawks in a neutral-site game in Woodberry Forest, Va.<br />
