Strong Second Half Propels No. 8 Duke over La Salle, 2-0

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – After a quiet opening half, the No. 8 Duke Blue Devils (1-0-0) turned on the pressure and fired home a pair of goals to open the season with a 2-0 victory at UNC Soccer and Lacrosse Stadium against the La Salle Explorers (0-1-0).

“We got off to a slow start in the first half, but I thought the second half was great,” said head coach Robbie Church. “We locked them in and created a ton of opportunities. Our body language was different and the mentality was different. We stayed with it.
