Duke falls to UVa in ACC tourney

Last season, the Duke women's soccer team defied the odds and advanced all the way to the ACC tournament finals after surviving an overtime thriller against Virginia in the first round. This season, however, the Cavaliers (14-3-1) gained revenge on the upstart Blue Devils (8-9), winning the teams' quarterfinal matchup 2-1 at Wake Forest's Dennie Spry Stadium in the extra period.

In similar fashion to the most recent contest between Duke and Virginia Oct. 20, the Wahoos scored a goal early in overtime to seal the victory over the Blue Devils. In that game, Cavalier reserve midfielder Erin Englehardt assisted forward Lindsay Gusick for the game-winning goal in Koskinen Stadium.

This time around, Englehardt was on the receiving end of an assist, as she retrieved a pass from teammate Megan Leo, broke away from the Duke defense and knocked the ball past Duke goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir in the bottom left corner of the goal to conclude the game.

"It was everything we expected," Virginia coach Steve Swanson said of the hard-fought contest. "Every game in the ACC is a difficult game. We knew it would be a tough game and it was."
