Duke Dominates notre Dame

Senior Jordan Wolf and sophomore Deemer Class led the Blue Devil attack against the Fighting Irish with a combined nine goals and three assists.

MEN’S LACROSSE

by Brian MazurThe ChroniCle

Duke flew into South Bend for a highly touted ACC matchup and then left with all of the luck.

Behind a fiery offensive performance, the no. 4 Blue Devils downed no. 7 notre Dame 15-7 Saturday afternoon at Arlotta

Stadium in South Bend, ind.The matchup was the two teams’ first

meeting as ACC foes, but a sense of fa-miliarity lingered on the field during the game. The programs have faced off against each other seven times since 2010 and twice in 2013, including a 12-11 Blue Devil win in the nCAA quarterfinals.

Saturday’s win was Duke’s sixth straight since back-to-back blowout loses to Mary-land and loyola.

“We’re playing really fundamental,” sophomore midfielder Deemer Class said. “Guys are working well shooting, playing with both hands, a lot of stuff we teach in the fall and just keep building as the season goes forward. We’re really buying into our system. The more we’re unselfish, the bet-ter the whole unit plays.”

Duke (10-2, 3-1 in the ACC) jumped out to a hot start in the first quarter, with attack Jordan Wolf scoring two goals and then finding Class for the team’s third goal

to go ahead 3-1.notre Dame was able to get on the board

when nick ossello scored his first of two goals on the afternoon. But the Fighting irish struggled to find an offensive rhythm and were hampered by a slew of one-min-ute penalties that resulted in a number of man-up opportunities for the Blue Devils.

it looked as if notre Dame (4-4, 2-2) fi-nally found the offensive spark it needed to cut into the Duke lead when Conor Doyle slid the ball past Blue Devil goalie luke

Aaron in the opening minute of the third quarter to make the score 6-3. But Duke was determined not to let this one get too close.

The Blue Devil offense responded with six straight goals and held the irish score-less for the remainder of the quarter. ex-plosive plays helped lengthen the lead, as midfielder Will haus took advantage of an overthrow, scooping up the ball and run-ning the length of the field to score his fourth goal of the season.

Wolf added his 37th goal of the season with 9:54 to play in the third quarter, boost-ing the Duke lead to seven. The senior finished the day with four goals and three assists. Class led the Blue Devils on the af-ternoon with five goals on 10 shots.

head coach John Danowski said that the play of Wolf and Class has been a major reason behind the offense’s success this season.

“What it does is it gives us a little bit of bal-ance and we are able to stretch the defense a little bit from the perimeter,” Danowski said. “in the beginning of the year, we didn’t have that ability to do that [and] now that we can stretch it a little bit, it keeps defenses honest. if they slide quickly, you can move the ball. To-day also the film will show the kids were pretty unselfish as well.”

Although the Fighting irish tallied four goals in the game’s final quarter, the Duke de-fense held the notre Dame offense, which en-tered the game averaging more than 12 goals per game, to just seven goals on 34 shots on the day.

Aaron continued his breakout season in goal for Duke, and his five first-quarter saves were crucial to his team’s early advantage that endured throughout the game.

“every team in the country will say ‘We want our goalie to make that first save,’” Danowski said. “We want him to make that first one so he feels good about his role and seeing the ball. We made a couple of saves early and we were able to get the ball out.”

Blue Devils hand Miami first ACC lossby Lucas Hubbard

The ChroniCle

last year against Miami, the undermanned Blue Devils only had five healthy players and were forced to forfeit both a doubles and a singles match. What a difference a year makes.

Playing with a fully healthy squad, top-ranked Duke gave away no freebies Sunday,

stealing a hotly-con-tested doubles point en route to an im-pressive 6-1 win against the no. 14 hurricanes at Am-bler Tennis Stadium.

“i told our team after the doubles that we took their best punch right there,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said. “i really don’t know how we won the doubles, to be honest with you.”

Miami (14-4, 8-2 in the ACC) held 5-4 leads on all three doubles courts before Duke made its move. At third doubles, junior Annie Mulholland and freshman Chalena Scholl claimed the final three games against Stepha-nie Wagner and lina lileikite for Duke’s first point. With the fifth-ranked duo of hanna Mar and Beatrice Capra fighting off match points in first doubles, the Blue Devils (20-1, 10-1) had to turn elsewhere to claim the dou-bles victory.

The 24th-ranked duo of junior ester Gold-feld and freshman Alyssa Smith was up to the task. Facing a game pair of hurricanes in the 28th-ranked pair of Melissa Bolivar and Kelly laurente, Duke held at 6-7 to force a tiebreak after a favorable net cord at 15-30. The duo

then roared to a 7-2 victory in the breaker to claim the match.

“There’s a big difference between 30-all and 15-40, of course,” Goldfeld said. “Alyssa and i just built on that, and i think we got a little bit of confidence from that point. We brought a little more energy, and that defi-nitely helped us.”

For a coach who has emphasized doubles from the start of the year, Sunday was a great sight.

“We just kept battling. every time we were down a break here, a break there, and we

stayed in there, and we made the girls from Miami play,” Ashworth said. “i thought we held our composure really well and that was a big thing for us, and then [we used] the momentum from the doubles [to do] a good job at the start of the singles.”

Duke ran out its deluxe singles lineup, sporting all four of its ranked players as well as the now-healthy Scholl at second singles, and the squad simply overwhelmed Miami.

Scholl was the first to claim a singles vic-tory Sunday, her second of the weekend. She thoroughly dominated no. 49 laurente en route to a 6-2, 6-3 win.

Perhaps more importantly, Scholl’s return allowed the remainder of the Duke singles lineup to slide down, a transition that proved effective. The 24th-ranked Goldfeld was able to take a break from the no. 2 spot to play third singles, where she rolled 6-2, 6-4 against Clementina riobueno. Goldfeld’s win was her eighth in a row.

“i’ve been working a lot on being more aggressive and coming to net,” Goldfeld said. “i felt like i was moving well and hitting my serves well. Just an overall good day.”

At sixth singles, Monique Albuquerque

was able to keep the hurricanes alive, top-ping Duke’s rachel Kahan 6-2, 6-2. But soon, Duke’s 12th consecutive win was in the books.

no. 89 Smith won at fifth singles to give the Blue Devils the overall victory, besting Bo-livar 6-2, 6-2. Seconds later, Mar, ranked 31st nationally, posted a win against lileikite at fourth singles by the same scoreline.

in the final match of the day, no. 5 Capra and no. 61 Wagner waged a war at first sin-gles, splitting the first two sets. Capra then fell behind 7-3 in the match tiebreaker be-fore roaring back to claim an 6-2, 4-6, 11-9 victory.

Sunday’s victory was the Blue Devils sec-ond of the weekend, as Duke had no trouble dispatching one of its Triangle counterparts, sweeping n.C. State at home without drop-ping a single set.

The Blue Devils rode their first and third doubles squads, who notched identical 8-2 wins. Mar and Capra knocked off n.C. State’s Joelle Kissell and Sophie nelson, while Scholl and Mulholland topped the Wolfpack’s ni-cole Martinez and natalia Janowicz.

After dropping four straight games, Duke’s triumph against rival north Car-olina last weekend seems like a distant memory.

The Blue Devils seemed to be headed in the right direction after sweeping the Tar heels for the first time since 1994, but a mid-week loss to liberty and a swept series against Georgia Tech quick-ly brought them back down to earth.

Duke was dominated by the Yellow Jackets, falling 7-4 in the series opener Friday, drop-ping a 5-1 ballgame Saturday and losing a 1-0 pitcher’s duel in the finale Sunday at russ Chandler Stadium.

inconsistent play has plagued this Blue Devil squad all season long. in conference play, Duke has swept series versus notre Dame and then-no. 19 north Carolina but suffered series sweeps at the hands of Pittsburgh and now Georgia Tech—marking an unusual stretch in which the Blue Devils have been a part of a weekend sweep for four straight weeks.

“We’ve got to be more consistent,” head Coach Chris Pollard said. “When we play well, we can beat anybody on our schedule, and we’ve shown that. When we don’t play well, we can lose to anybody on

our schedule, and we’ve shown that on the other side. i really think we just need to focus on the consistency of our ball club and getting some guys going individually.”

Duke (17-16, 7-8 in the ACC) was ham-pered by an inconsistent offense against the Yellow Jackets (19-13, 8-7), who came into the weekend on a four-game losing streak.

The Blue Devils put up a four-spot in the third inning of Friday’s game—highlight-ed by rBi singles from second baseman Andy Perez and designated hitter Matt Berezo—but could only muster one run in the final 24 innings of the series.

“We just didn’t push enough runs across the board over the course of the weekend,” Pollard said. “Ultimately, it boils down to some guys that are capable of swinging the bat better than they are right now. We need to work really hard with those guys individually to get those guys going at the plate.”

Duke did receive some good news in the offensive department with third baseman Jordan Betts returning to the lineup. The senior had been forced to watch his teammates from the bench for the past two weeks after injuring his back against Pittsburgh, but came back to start all three games this weekend. Betts—who leads the team with a .510 slugging percentage and is second with a .350 batting average—picked up three hits in Sunday’s game and could provide a huge boost for the beleaguered lineup moving forward.

“i hope [he can jumpstart the of-fense],” Pollard said. “he needs to be one of those guys, certainly. he had three hits today. he’s a guy that we’re going to need to lean on heavily over these last 24 ballgames.”

The lack of production at the plate meant that the Blue Devils wasted a mas-terful performance on the mound Sunday from sophomore Michael Matuella. The right-hander breezed through the Geor-gia Tech lineup, needing just 87 pitches to make it through eight four-hit innings. Matuella (0-1) was handed a hard-luck loss despite taking a perfect game into the sixth inning, and struck out six while al-lowing just one unearned run to lower his season erA to a sparkling 0.82.

the right time with postseason play around the corner. But even though the team’s suc-cess over the last month evokes reminders of Duke’s 2013 championship run, Danowski thinks his team and coaching staff can look at some aspects of his team’s play before facing a number of high-profile teams in the ACC and nCAA tournaments.

“i hope we keep getting better,” he said. “i hope this isn’t the ceiling. i think the fourth quarter [we let up]. The faceoff game we have to continue to look at. We know their kid liam [o’Connor] is dynamite. We got worked in the fourth quarter in the faceoff game and we failed to clear a bunch of times. There is plenty of ammunition for the coaching staff to get better.”

“it was one of the best pitched games i’ve ever seen [by Matuella],” Pollard said. only three balls reached the out-field the whole ballgame. he gave up four singles, three of them were infield hits. he didn’t walk a guy. he completely dominated the game.”

Duke will return to action 6 p.m. Tuesday as it welcomes in-state oppo-nent n.C. Central to Jack Coombs Field. Pollard said that—despite the team’s up-and-down play and lackluster offense—he is not jumping to panic mode and is willing to stick with the same approach they’ve had all season.

“[This weekend] doesn’t change any-thing in terms of how we approach day-to-day,” Pollard said. “i’m not sure if, at this point, it’s an overall approach issue as much as it is that we’ve got to look at each guy that’s underperforming right now relative to where we think he can be and try to get those guys going.”

The Blue Devils were able to pick up their 19th and 20th victories of the season this week-end as they defeated N.C. State and Miami at home.

even with top players Capra and Goldfeld taking the afternoon off in sin-gles, Duke had no problem against the Wolfpack (7-9, 1-8). The success started at the bottom of the ladder for the Blue Devils, with the squad claiming straight-sets wins at fourth, fifth and sixth singles to secure the match victory.

The top three spots were more con-tested as the Wolfpack rallied in the second sets, with each set going at least 12 games, but Duke still emerged un-scathed. Smith defeated Martinez 6-1, 7-5 at third singles, and Scholl, playing first singles for the second consecutive match, beat Kissell by the same score-line. Mar completed the sweep at second

singles with a 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) win against rachael James-Baker.

having a healthy Scholl back is crucial for the Blue Devils, and this weekend was a big step in the right direction for her.

“She’s getting better every match,” Ash-worth said. “every time we step on the court she’s getting better and better and smarter. every day she’s a day healthier and i’m sure that when we play on Friday she’ll be better than she was today.”

With three matches remaining in the regular season, Duke still has work ahead to remain in good position among the crowded ACC field.

“There’s a ton to play for, and we’re trying to give ourselves days off in the ACC tourna-ment,” Ashworth said. “But this team does a really good job about taking it one match at a time.”
