DURHAM, N.C. — Duke field hockey is thrilled to continue its partnership with the Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis for the 2026 season to help raise awareness and funds in a Nets4Mets initiative.
Started in 2025, the Blue Devils' partnership with the Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis will help raise critical funds in support of patient care, research, and educational efforts.Â
Individuals can support Nets4Mets by pledging money as we track all the statistics around the net — circle entries, goals, assists, penalty corners, shots, saves and shutouts — throughout the season. Join Duke field hockey as our success directly translates to supporting an incredible cause within the Duke community. The pledge options are $0.20, $0.50, $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00 or a one-time pledge.
As people are now surviving longer with cancer, many of them come to see their cancer spread to their brain or spine. The Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis (DCBSM) brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts who seek new answers for these patients. Duke offers some of the most advanced surgeries and treatments, even for paÂtients who may have been told they are out of such options.
The Duke field hockey team officially opens the 2026 season with a home and away weekend. The Blue Devils host William & Mary at 5 p.m., Friday, Aug. 28, before heading to Richmond for a date with the Spiders Aug. 30 at noon.
