Courtwright Earns Team of the Week Honors; Duke Moves to No. 2

DURHAM, N.C. – Following a solid first week as a Blue Devil, Duke women's soccer redshirt junior Sam Courtwright has been named to the TopDrawerSoccer Team of the Week, as announced Tuesday.

In her first two games as a Blue Devil, Courtwright registered a goal and two assists as Duke traveled to California to face Southern California and No. 9 UCLA.

Courtwright, a native of Dallas, Texas, turned in two assists over the first 12:04 of her Duke debut Wednesday at Southern California. She assisted on goals at the 1:18 and 12:04 marks of the first period and Duke went on to earn a 3-1 victory. The pair of goals scored in the first 12:04 of the season opener marked the third-quickest two-goal stretch in Blue Devil history.

Duke closed the trip at No. 9 UCLA Sunday and Courtwright struck early with a free kick goal only 2:05 into the match to give the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead. It marked her first goal as a Blue Devil and 10th of her collegiate career.

The Intercollegiate Women's Soccer Organization (IWSOC) released the latest top 25 Coaches Poll Tuesday with Duke moving up one slot to No. 2. Stanford, Duke, Florida State, Vanderbilt, Michigan State, Baylor, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Brigham Young and Washington rounded out the top 10.

Following the West Coast opening week, Duke (1-0-1) returns home to host a pair of contests inside Freeman Field at Koskinen Stadium. The Blue Devils welcome FIU Thursday, Aug. 20, at 6 p.m., and Rhode Island Sunday, Aug. 23, at 6 p.m. Both matches will be aired live on ACC Network Extra.
