DURHAM, N.C.—Duke field hockey graduate students Barb Civitella and Charlie van Oirschot will be back on the "True Blue" turf for one more season as Blue Devils. The duo elected to use their extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to COVID-19.
Civitella and van Oirschot are enrolled in the Master of Management Studies program at Duke's Fuqua School of Business.
Outstanding leaders on and off the field, Civitella and van Oirschot will be instrumental pieces to the Blue Devils' success in 2024. Together they have played in 146 collegiate field hockey games, 107 of those coming as Blue Devils, and have scored 14 goals and dished nine assists.
