MATCHUP NOTES
- The Blue Devils and Phoenix meet for the 22nd match in the all-time series, with Duke holding a 16-2-3 advantage.
- Duke has posted four consecutive victories over Elon, with the most recent being a 2-1 win at Elon on Oct. 8, 2024. The Phoenix led 1-0 at halftime, but Duke rallied with second-half goals from Adam Luckhurst and Ulfur Bjornsson to secure the road victory.
- In their last match, the Blue Devils earned three conference points, defeating Pittsburgh, 4-0.
- Duke scored all four goals in the second half, highlighted by a brace from Ulfur Bjornsson.
- The scoring started with Alessandro Arlotti logging his team-leading seventh goal of the season, followed by Aridon Racaj's third goal of his freshman campaign, and Bjornsson capped the offensive effort with his two goals.
- Goalkeeper Eryk Dymora has earned the praise of his head coach, and has registered four consecutive clean sheet.
- John Kerr has emphasized the importance of having a veteran vocal leader as the anchor of Duke's defensive effort.
- Duke's duo of Italian transfers, Alessandro Arlotti and Leonard D'Ambrosio have made key contributions all season long.
- Arlotti, a Harvard transfer, leads the team in goals (seven) and points (19), while D'Ambrosio, arriving from College of Charleston, also has double-digit points (10), courtesy of three goals and four helpers.
- After a strong sophomore season that saw Ulfur Bjornsson lead the team in goals (13) and points (29), the junior forward battled injury through the opening portion of the season.
- Injuries to both ankles kept the striker, whose first name translates to Wolf, out for three matches.
- Since returning, the preseason No. 1 player in the preseason Top 100 by TopDrawerSoccer (TDS), has 9 points in five matches, highlighted by a second-half brace in Duke's most recent ACC match against Pittsburgh.
- Following a preseason hamstring injury, sophomore Jamie Kabuusu has returned with two consecutive starts, including playing the full 90 against Pittsburgh.
- He made a key stop against the Panthers, jumping in front of a wide open goal and deflecting a Pitt shot attempt.
