Among the latter is former All-American and ACC offensive player of the year Imani Dorsey, who was recently named Rookie of the Year by the National Womens Soccer League.
As their season reaches its peak, the Blue Devils will have to reduce self-made errors and put the pieces of the puzzle together in order to have a chance at a long and successful postseason.
