HOW IT HAPPENED:
Â
Hannah Miller powered the Duke attack with a huge day, scoring five goals to go with one assist.
Â
For the first 15 minutes, the score remained relatively close. Alayna Burns put the Blue Devils up 1-0 with a goal in the ninth minute, but the Lancers were able to keep it there.
Â
However, Miller got going in the second quarter, and the Duke offense found a rhythm. From that point on, the Blue Devils put it away.
Â
UP NEXT:
Â
Longwood returns to Farmville to host Queens on Sunday, September 10 at noon. The match will be aired on ESPN+.
