DURHAM, N.C. - The Duke's women soccer team is off to their best start ever
after defeating the Florida State Seminoles 3-2 Saturday afternoon at
Koskinen Stadium. The Blue Devils have won their first six games of 2000 and
remain perfect with a 6-0 record.
"That is as good as we have played in a long time," said Duke head coach Bill Hempen. "I am real happy with this win."
Florida State (5-4) jumped out an early 1-0 lead in the 10th minute when freshman midfielder Amber Tollefson took a cross from Ashley Halter and beat Duke goalkeeper Thora Helgadottir (Kopavogur, Iceland). Duke tied the game at 1-1 in the 22nd minute when freshman forward Gwendolyn Oxenham (Gulf Breeze, Fla.) scored her fourth goal of the season on a punt from Helgadottir.
Senior midfielder Kim Daws (Northridge, Calif.) gave Duke a 2-1 lead when her shot from 40 yards out beat Florida State senior goalkeeper Sarah Crawford.
Florida State tied the game at 2-2 when freshman midfielder Emma Breland beat Duke goalkeeper Isis Dallis (Marlboro, Mass.) after taking a cross from sophomore forward Cindy Schofield.
Duke finally capitalized on a scoring opportunity in the second half when sophomore midfielder Carly Fuller (Tualatin, Ore.) beat Crawford to score the game-winning goal at 80:48.
"We needed to get a chance to scored and we did," Fuller said. "This was a really big game for us because we have not done well in the ACC in the past and this year we have now won our first two games."
The Blue Devils return to action Tuesday, Sept. 19th at Davidson. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
