DURHAM, N.C. – Duke redshirt senior Mia Gyau has been named the ACC Defensive Player of the Week, after scoring the game-winning goal in the Blue Devils' 1-0 victory at NC State on Friday night.
The Colesville, Md., native broke a scoreless tie in the 61st minute, when she accepted a long cross from senior Caitlin Cosme and worked the ball into the box past NC State defenders. As the ball rolled towards the end line, Gyau hustled to block the Wolfpack goalkeeper's clearing attempt and calmly buried it in the open cage to put the Blue Devils in front.
