DURHAM – Duke senior Mackenzie Pluck was named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Week after scoring in both of the Blue Devils' wins over ranked opponents last week.
In the season-opener against No. 13 Arkansas on Thursday, Aug. 19, Pluck took over in the second half, drawing two penalties in a row to set Duke up with back-to-back PK opportunities. After graduate student Tess Boade converted the first attempt, Pluck was given the chance to extend Duke's lead to 3-1 and did so by firing her shot into the lower right corner.
