Miami came up just shy in its attempt to upset No. 2 Duke University in Durham after a valiant effort by the RedHawks’ defense Sunday afternoon. They were able to split their road trip with a 4-1 victory over Davidson on Monday evening.
Duke improves to 12-2 with their 2-0 victory over Miami, while MU remains even 7-7 on the year. The RedHawks remain undefeated in Mid-American Conference play (4-0) after Sunday’s non-conference game.
Going to North Carolina with an upset on their mind, the RedHawks put up an impressive fight. They held the No. 2 team in the nation scoreless at half, and despite two quick goals in the 37th and 42nd minute of play, MU never gave up.
