Five members of the Blue Devil squad received All-American honors today, highlighted by senior Ned Crotty’s inclusion on the All-American first team.
Crotty, the ACC Player of the Year, made the second team last year as a midfielder. He switched positions after Zack Greer and Matt Danowski graduated, though, and leads the country this season with [...]
Neither a 25-minute rain delay nor Navy’s typically stingy defense could slow down Duke Saturday night.
Under the lights in a muddy Koskinen Stadium, the No. 3 Blue Devils jumped all over the Midshipmen in the first half and never looked back. The result was a 10-0 lead at halftime, and an eventual 14-5 win for [...]

Friday afternoon provided a glimpse of the potential of the young and new Blue Devils.
