Duke Dominates Dartmouth in Midweek Clash
The Duke University men's lacrosse team had seven different players tally at least one goal to lead the seventh-ranked Blue Devils to a commanding 15-3 win over Dartmouth in non-conference action this evening at Koskinen Stadium. The starting trio of Ned Crotty, Zach Howell and Max Quinzani on attack combined for 15 points in the victory.

Duke held the Big Green scoreless for 34:46 over a span of three quarters and rattled off nine unanswered during that stretch to remain unbeaten against Dartmouth all-time. The Blue Devils improve to 5-3 on the year, while Dartmouth falls to 2-3. The three goals allowed are the fewest by Duke this season and the fewest since March 25, 2008 when the Blue Devils defeated Harvard 10-3.

Crotty, Howell and Quinzani each had five points apiece. Howell and Quinzani turned in matching four-goal and one assist performances and Crotty contributed one marker and four assists.
