Early run spurs women's lacrosse over Hokies
No. 2 Duke continued its best start in school history Wednesday, cruising past Virginia Tech, 22-6, for a perfect 8-0 record. The Blue Devils (3-0 in the ACC) opened the first half with a 6-0 run, highlighted by four goals and an assist from Katie Chrest.
The first goal, scored by Carolyn Davis, came out of Duke's motion offense, which allowed the freshman to go one-on-one with the Hokie keeper.
The next two goals, both from Chrest, were on forced turnovers. She followed up her pair with a third score on a free position shot.
