2/17/2022 3:37:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
DURHAM – The No. 6 Duke women's lacrosse team is set for consecutive road contests this weekend. The Blue Devils will take on William & Mary Friday at 4 p.m., before a 1 p.m., contest against High Point Sunday.
OPENING DRAW
Friday marks the 23rd meeting between the Blue Devils and the Tribe as Duke owns a 19-3 record and have won 19 straight. Duke faces High Point for the fifth time and lead the all-time series 3-1. Duke faced both opponents in 2021.
A LOOK BACK
The Duke women's lacrosse team opened the 2022 slate in dominating fashion with two victories. Duke defeated Gardner-Webb (22-3) and Elon (25-5) to jump two spots to sixth in the IWLCA weekly ranking.
Through two games, Duke has tallied 47 goals and has limited its opponents to just eight. Duke has proven to score fast and furiously this early season and received goal contributions from 15 different players. Not only are they scoring in bunches, the Blue Devils are also sharing the ball well with 28 assists on 47 goals, led by Eva Greco with six. Sophomore Katie DeSimone had two standout performances on the offensive front for the Blue Devils. The Bay Shore, N.Y., native posted 13 goals and an assist for 14 points off a .650 shooting percentage. She also grabbed four ground balls and a caused turnover.
SCOUTING THE TRIBE
Friday marks the 23rd meeting between the Blue Devils and the Tribe. Duke owns a 19-3 record and has won 19 straight. William & Mary are 1-1 in the early season. The Tribe defeated Villanova (14-13) last weekend and fell to Richmond (19-10) Tuesday evening. The Tribe is led by Lauren Russell with eight points (6G, 2A) and Belle Martire with seven points (5G, 2A). Goalkeeper Elise Palmer has played the entirety of two contests so far and has already accumulated 28 saves for a .467 save percentage between the pipes.
A CLOSER LOOK AT HIGH POINT
Duke faces High Point for the fifth time and leads the all-time series 3-1. The Panthers are coming off a 12-8 setback at Davidson. The 2021 campaign saw the Panthers win the Big South Tournament and advance to the NCAA Tournament. Through one game, the Panthers are led by Abby Hormes with four goals and five ground balls. She was named the Big South's Offensive Player of the Week following the game as she became the conference's all-time leader in goals with 213. Hormes was named Preseason Player of the Year for the Big South with High Point being picked to finish first in the league.
DESO FILLING UP THE STATS
Sophomore Katie DeSimone had two standout performances on the offensive front for the Blue Devils. The Bay Shore, N.Y., native posted 13 goals and an assist for 14 points off a .650 shooting percentage. She also grabbed four ground balls and a caused turnover. Last season, the ACC All-Freshman Team honoree collected 25 goals and is well on her way to exceeding that this spring.
THE DRAW CONTROL QUEEN
Senior Maddie Jenner returns to the circle in 2022 as arguably the best in the sport at the draw. She was named a Preseason All-America honoree by Inside Lacrosse and USA Lacrosse Magazine after having a highly successful junior campaign.
Jenner was spectacular last weekend, tallying 31 draws in two games. In Duke's win against Elon, Jenner grabbed a career-high 19, surpassing her previous of 16. She also owns four points (3G, 1A) this season.
Over the course of her career, she has amassed 402 total draws as the nation's NCAA active career leader in draw controls per game (8.24). She needs 111 draw controls to become Duke's all-time draw control leader, which is currently owned by her sister, Olivia.
UP NEXT
Looking ahead, Duke returns to Koskinen Stadium Thursday, Feb. 24 against Wofford and Monday, Feb. 28 against East Carolina.
