DURHAM, N.C.— Following scoring a goal and assisting on another, Duke University women's soccer converted forward
Delaney Graham received TopDrawerSoccer.com and College Soccer News National Team of the Week accolades.
A native of Atlanta, Ga., Graham helped lead fifth-ranked Duke to two road league wins this past week at Boston College and Syracuse. At the Eagles on Thursday, Graham collected the game-winning goal in the 96th minute to lift the Blue Devils to a 1-0 victory. It marked her second straight contest she had scored a goal.
On Sunday at Syracuse, Graham assisted on Duke's first goal in the seventh minute, which marked three straight goals she had been responsible for over the last three matches. The goal sparked the Blue Devils to a season-tying four tallies in a 4-0 victory over Syracuse.
It marked Duke's fourth straight win to improve the Blue Devils to 5-1-2 overall and 3-1-2 in ACC action. Graham only played 26 minutes in Sunday's victory at Syracuse since Duke had the big lead.
Prior to the North Carolina contest on Sept. 27, Graham was moved to the forward slot and since then she has scored two goals and assisted on one other. Graham was a 2019 All-ACC selection and 2020 preseason honoree on the defensive end.
The Blue Devils (5-1-2, 3-1-2 ACC) will next travel down Tobacco Road to face top-ranked North Carolina Friday, Oct. 23 for a 7 p.m., opening kick live on ACC Network Extra.
