DURHAM, N.C. – Sophomore back Alyssa Chillano received the first ACC Defensive Player of the Week honors of her career Tuesday after guiding Duke to a pair of shutout victories over the weekend.
Chillano and the Blue Devils collected their first shutout of the year Friday evening against No. 9 Louisville, holding the Cardinals scoreless on seven shots and eight penalty corners. In Sunday’s 7-0 win over Longwood, Chillano earned the first half trick of her career, notching all three tallies on Duke penalty corner opportunities. Her performance helped the Blue Devils top the seven-goal mark for the first time since Sept.
