Duke blanks ASU
ASU suffered the first loss of the season to Duke
University on Sunday. Duke, ranked fifth in the STX/NFHCA poll,
pushed six goals past ASU goalie Kate Ryno.
Ryno finished the game with 17 saves on Duke’s 31 shots on
goal. ASU failed to record a shot on goal.
“That was a tough loss for us against Duke.
[The team] came out of that not crushed, not disheartened. They
are a resilient team,” head coach Mandy Latz said.
Duke improves to 4-0 on the season. ASU falls to 3-1.
