DURHAM, N.C. – Duke women's soccer freshman
Yuna Marui and redshirt junior
Sam Courtwright were named to the 2026 ACC All-Tournament Team, announced Sunday following the conclusion of the ACC Championship.
Â
The duo helped the sixth-seeded Blue Devils advance to the semifinals for the third consecutive season, highlighted by a 5-4 overtime victory at fourth-ranked and third-seeded Wake Forest in the quarterfinals.
Â
Marui totaled one goal and one assist against the Demon Deacons. The Osaka, Japan, native scored the equalizer in the 59th minute to make it 2-2 and assisted on Courtwright's second goal. In overtime, her cross drew the handball that led to
Mia Minestrella's game-winning penalty kick.
Â
Marui also led Duke with three shots in its 1-0 semifinal loss to second-ranked North Carolina. Both of her goals this season have come against top-five opponents — No. 1 Stanford and No. 4 Wake Forest. She owns two goals and three assists for seven points in 18 appearances.
Â
Courtwright registered her second brace of the season in the quarterfinal victory, scoring twice in a span of 3:36. The Dallas, Texas, native headed in
Mia Oliaro's corner kick at 64:30 to give Duke a 3-2 lead before finishing a pass from
Jocelyn Travers at 68:06 to put the Blue Devils ahead, 4-3.
Â
Courtwright has totaled seven goals and a team-high eight assists for 22 points in her first season at Duke.
Â
The recognition follows postseason conference honors for both players. Courtwright earned third-team All-ACC accolades, while Marui was selected to the ACC All-Freshman Team.
Â
The 12th-ranked Blue Devils (10-3-5) await the NCAA Tournament selection show Monday, Nov. 16 at 4 p.m., live on NCAA.com.
