DURHAM, N.C. - Despite Thursday night's contest in Kentucky being a physical one, the No. 8 Duke women's lacrosse team powered through to defeat No. 16 Louisville, 12-10, at Cardinal Stadium.
With the victory, the Blue Devils improve to 7-5 and 3-5 in conference action as the Cardinals drop to 5-7 and 1-6 in the ACC.
Goalkeeper Sophia LeRose spearheaded a tough Duke defense as she picked up a career-high 14 saves on 24 Louisville shots on goal. The junior from San Diego, Calif., only had one save in the first half before her dominant second-half showing.
