DURHAM – Senior Mackenzie Pluck scored at the 87:37 mark of regulation to give No. 6 Duke a 2-1 win over No. 19 Washington on Sunday at Koskinen Stadium.
Pluck was fed a through pass from freshman Michelle Cooper inside the 18-yard box and tried to chip the ball past Washington goalkeeper Olivia Sekany, who came charging out to stop the attempt. The rebound fell to Pluck's feet, and the North Wales, Pa., native calmly turned and fired a left-footed strike into the open net to lift the Blue Devils to a thrilling victory.
