DURHAM – Duke pulled within one with 25 minutes remaining but couldn't find the equalizer in the end as sixth-ranked Virginia edged the No. 25 Blue Devils in ACC field hockey action Friday evening on Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium.
Duke trailed Virginia 3-1 at half and made it a one-goal game on an Issy Carey penalty stroke with 23:34 remaining the game. The Blue Devils held the Cavaliers to just one shot and one penalty corner in the fourth quarter but were unable to find the answer on the other end of the field.
