Duke men’s lacrosse uses big third quarter to take down North Carolina
With 7:23 left in what might need been the ultimate recreation of his collegiate profession, Tar Heel graduate attacker Chris Grey broke the all-time NCAA profession factors document that Lyle Thompson beforehand set at Albany in 2015 with an unassisted aim emblematic of the previous Tewaaraton Award finalist’s storied profession.
However his parade was each actually and metaphorically rained on when, after a lightning delay of greater than an hour, Duke crushed rival North Carolina 19-11 in entrance of a packed Koskinen Stadium crowd.
“It’s a kind of video games, proper?” junior attacker Dyson Williams, who completed with three targets, stated after the sport. “We get that lightning delay to start out off the sport….In order that was clearly powerful to take care of straight away, however we stored it free and got here again right here, warmed up and….We simply knew, that is the kind of evening, like Coach stated, the more durable group will win.”
After a quick begin for each groups, adopted by a second quarter with solely 4 mixed targets, Duke (11-5, 3-2 within the ACC) went to the locker room with the identical one-score deficit it entered the second quarter with.
The Blue Devils had one thing to say about that, although, scoring 4 unanswered within the first 5 minutes of the second half, together with a two-goal eruption from graduate midfielder Nakeie Montgomery and a behind-the-back laser from Williams to complete off his hat trick.
After two extra Blue Satan targets, Montgomery’s third put Duke up 13-7. Then, junior defender Will Frisoli discovered himself on the opposite finish of the sector the place he bypassed Tar Heel goalie Collin Krieg for his first aim of the season, capping off 1 / 4 through which the Blue Devils scored eight targets and gave up zero.
“We get rolling, we do our factor, we rating a bunch within the third,” Williams stated. “I believe that each ends of the ball…. Once we’re taking part in as a full group and…. All taking part in nice, it is a actually cool feeling.”
Whereas North Carolina (8-6, 1-5) was in a position to break its 20:25 scoring drought with a record-tying aim from Grey to open the fourth, one other flurry of targets from the Blue Devils—together with two every from graduate attacker Joe Robertson and freshman midfielder Andrew McAdorey—sealed the Tar Heels’ destiny. Grey’s record-setting evening couldn’t save them, and finally, that third quarter ended up deciding the sport.
Apart from some halftime changes that helped the offense benefit from the defensive consideration given to sophomore attacker Brennan O’Neill, Duke thrived within the third largely on the again of a near-perfect efficiency at X from faceoff specialist Jake Naso. The sophomore received 7-of-9 faceoffs within the third to maintain North Carolina from getting an opportunity within the offensive zone. This put the ball again within the palms of an on-fire offense and finally culminated in Duke getting 12 photographs on aim to the Tar Heels’ 4.
“Jake Naso was terrific,” head coach John Danowski stated. “We had the ball lots, we received a bunch of faceoffs… so we now have the ball, we’re scoring a aim, getting the ball again, and so we did not play plenty of protection in that third quarter.”
The primary quarter, nonetheless, had a special tone. Although each groups seemingly needed to shake off some rust after the delayed begin and there was some slipping and sliding on the sector, that didn’t hinder both facet’s fast-paced offense. After a fast North Carolina rating, graduate midfielder Cam Badour grabbed Duke’s first aim of the sport off of an help from O’Neill, which the Tar Heels responded to in sort.
Then, a person down on a one-minute, unreleasable penalty, the Blue Satan protection pressured a turnover behind the online and moved the ball all the best way up the sector with some crisp passing. The ball ultimately ended up within the palms of O’Neill, who deked his defender and snapped the ball previous Krieg’s toes. Proper after, Naso received the faceoff and carried the ball to the online for his sixth aim of the season, and Duke had scored two shorthanded targets to take a 3-2 lead, giving the stands a style of what was to return.
Nevertheless, a bit forwards and backwards noticed the Blue Devils path 5-4 on the finish of the primary quarter. Nonetheless, they ended the interval on a excessive observe, with their fourth aim coming from Williams for his one centesimal profession level.
“Dyson is such a terrific younger man. He works extremely onerous. His proper hand has improved tremendously. He’s received an actual knack across the aim, as plenty of Canadian gamers do due to their field expertise. And we’re delighted that he’s on our group,” Danowski stated.
Now, with North Carolina firmly within the rearview, the Blue Devils look towards their ultimate regular-season recreation Saturday in opposition to Notre Dame, which can possible be the ultimate merchandise of their NCAA match resume.
“We’re simply gonna have a good time tonight, since you get one evening to get pleasure from. After which tomorrow, we’ll get again to work,” Danowski stated. “The great thing about our schedule is we now have no extra faculty, and we’re simply full-time lacrosse gamers. So we’ll spend some additional time taking pictures, we’ll spend some additional time within the weight room or watching movie, being collectively, plenty of group constructing…. And hopefully, we’ll be able to compete subsequent Saturday.”

Eli Pancol helps Duke football beat Virginia Tech, keep spot as North Carolina’s top team
Duke hasn’t played pretty football at times, but the Blue Devils have consistently proven to be the top team in North Carolina.
After beating UNC (6-5, 3-4) and N.C. State (5-6, 2-5) earlier this year, Duke (8-3, 4-3 ACC) will go for the Tobacco Road sweep in the regular-season finale at Wake Forest (4-7, 2-5) on Nov. 30 (Noon, ACC Network).
Because of their consistently dominant defense and the ability to handle in-game adversity, the Blue Devils are in position to win double-digit games for just the second time in program history.
That’s quite a debut for first-year coach Manny Diaz, who has helped the Blue Devils win five of their six one-score games this season, including a 31-28 victory against Virginia Tech on Saturday in the home finale at Wallace Wade Stadium.
Duke report card vs Virginia Tech
Here’s what and who stood out on senior night in Duke’s eighth win of the 2024 college football season.
Duke wide receiver Eli Pancol caps comeback with special finale at Wallace Wade Stadium
Eli Pancol, Duke’s sixth-year wide receiver who missed the 2023 season with an injury, capped his comeback with an incredible performance in the final home game of his career.
Eli Pancol’s incredible comeback story
Finishing with five catches for 188 yards and three touchdowns, Pancol did most of that damage on two of the first four plays when he had an 86-yard catch-and-run touchdown, followed by a 77-yard catch-and-run TD. In his final two games at Wallace Wade Stadium, Pancol combined for 16 catches for 326 yards and four touchdowns.
Ozzie Nicholas, Cam Bergeron, Kendy Charles shine for Duke football defense
Pancol wasn’t the only senior to shine Saturday night against the Hokies. Duke’s top three tacklers were seniors, combining for 31 tackles, including three for loss. Princeton graduate transfer Ozzie Nicholas, Duke’s leading tackler, led the way again with 11 tackles. Fellow linebacker Cam Bergeron and defensive tackle Kendy Charles each had 10 tackles.
Overall, Duke had 14 tackles for loss, including eight sacks. The Blue Devils have consistently been among the top five teams in the nation at creating havoc for offenses as a steady presence in the backfield. It’s the main reason Duke is in position to reach 10 wins this season.
Manny Diaz keeps proving he was right hire for Blue Devils
Duke has won 10 games once since 1922, getting it done in 2013 under former coach David Cutcliffe, who helped resurrect a struggling program. Following Cutcliffe’s departure, Mike Elko won nine games in his first season and eight in his second before bolting to Texas A&M.
After a successful stint as a defensive coordinator at Penn State, Diaz got a second head-coaching opportunity when Duke hired him in December 2023. In three seasons as the head coach at Miami, Diaz had one year with eight wins. He accomplished that in his debut year at Duke, putting the program in position to join an exclusive club if the Devils can win their final two games.
