DURHAM – Duke sophomore Alaina McVeigh has been named the PNC Achievers Athlete of the Month after leading the now fourth-ranked Blue Devils field hockey squad to an 8-1 start through the first 30 days of the season.
After missing her freshman season while recovering from an injury, McVeigh has been the driving force for a Duke field hockey program that has gotten off to a spectacular start. With McVeigh powering the offense, Duke won eight of its first nine contests, moving from No. 20 in the national preseason rankings to No.
