DURHAM – Duke freshman Josephine Palde scored in the 48th minute to help lift the 12th-ranked Blue Devils to a 1-0 victory over Richmond in field hockey action Sunday afternoon on Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium.
The Blue Devils move to 1-1 after their opening weekend and return to action next weekend with the Big 10/ACC Cup.
"They played hard," said head coach Pam Bustin. "I am so proud of how hard we played and the persistence that we showed. We can still manage our frustration better at times, but that's a work in progress and I'm really pleased with the fact they kept pushing and pushing and didn't give up.
