Duke Gets Fourth-Straight With 4-0 Win Over Ohio

DURHAM, N.C. – The No. 5 Duke field hockey team received scoring from four different players Tuesday night, as the Blue Devils downed visiting Ohio University, 4-0, at Williams Field to pick up their fourth consecutive victory and move to 10-3 (2-2).

Duke sported pink jerseys in the contest to raise breast cancer awareness as part of Under Armour’s “Power in Pink” series.

The Blue Devils got goals from Amie Survilla, Megan Deakins, Rhian Jones, and Ashley Pultorak in the balanced offensive effort, out-shooting Ohio 18-4 in the contest. Duke led 3-0 at the half after getting on the board first 13 minutes in on Survilla’s score, her team-leading eighth goal of the season.

Muracco Scores Four as Terp Field Hockey Trounce Tigers, 5-0

PRINCETON, N.J. - Junior Nicole Muracco liked playing at Princeton's Class of 1952 Stadium two years ago, when she scored two goals to help the Terps to a 4-1 victory in her freshman season.

Now as an upperclassman, Muracco loved it.

The forward demolished her previous career high, scoring four goals as the Terps shut out Princeton, 5-0.
