Her 66 draw controls led the Blue Devils in that category and her 18 assists were third on the team.

As a freshman Cryer tallied 21 goals and 11 assists for 32 points as she appeared in all 21 games with nine starts. She compiled 26 ground balls, 13 draw controls and seven caused turnovers and was named Duke's Rookie of the Year. Cryer spent her sophomore and junior years on the U.S. Developmental squad before making the Elite Team this past summer. She is majoring in Economics.
