20 Years with Robbie Church: Church Collects 100th Win
1/19/2021 9:23:00 AM | Women's Soccer
Head coach Robbie Church is in his 20th season with the Blue Devils. GoDuke.com will be looking back over the last 20 years highlighting top moments for Duke women's soccer under the direction of Church.
CLEMSON, S.C. - The Duke women's soccer team registered two second half goals on Oct. 18, 2009 to down Clemson, 2-0, at Riggs Field, which was Blue Devil head coach Robbie Church's 100th win at Duke.
Duke registered its third straight shutout in the victory and posted its first victory at Clemson since the 1997 season.
The Blue Devils and Tigers played a scoreless first half, which featured Clemson holding a 6-5 advantage in shots and outplaying Duke.
"I thought in the second half, we played really well," said Duke head coach Robbie Church. "In the first half, Clemson actually outplayed us a little and were fortunate to come out 0-0 at halftime. In the second half, we really dominated. It was nice to come out and score a goal right away. We also did a very nice job of possession in the second half."
Duke broke the scoreless tie just 110 seconds into the second stanza as senior Elisabeth Redmond played the ball through to junior Kendall Bradley who took the ball in the seam in-between two Tiger defenders, took a touch and hit the back of the net for her first goal of the season. Freshman Nicole Lipp, who has started the last three matches in the midfield position after moving from defense, added her first career assist on the goal.
The Blue Devils added an insurance goal in the 69th minute as junior Marybeth Kreger drove a great ball into the box and senior KayAnne Gummersall headed in her team-best eighth goal of the season. Senior Jane Alukonis added her third assist of the year on the goal.
Gummersall, who is from Wilmette, Ill., tallied her 31st career goal and 73rd career point with the goal. A native of Morristown, N.J., Redmond registered her 33rd career assist in the match.
"We are defending better," said Church. "All year we have defended well, especially if you take away the Maryland game. We have done a fantastic of team defending. The formation change has no question helped but what we have done within the formation change is we are dropping our back line a little bit deeper, which has helped."
In goal for the Blue Devils, freshman Tara Campbell came away with her fifth shutout of the season as she notched four saves. A product of Cincinnati, Ohio, Campbell has helped a Duke defensive charge, which has held opponents without a goal for 290 minutes and 20 seconds over the last four matches.
For the match, Duke outshot Clemson, 16-12, and held a 7-6 advantage in corner kicks. Gummersall netted a team-high four shots, while Redmond added three attempts for the Blue Devils. Seven other Duke student-athletes attempted shots on the afternoon.
"The thing that I think is an interesting point is we are scoring some goals out of it to," commented Church on the formation change. "Even though we are taking a forward away, it leaves more space for KayAnne and Elisabeth to run into up front. It doesn't restrict them like it does with three forwards. Not only are we getting what we wanted from a defensive standpoint, but we are also getting what we want from an attacking standpoint to. It has obviously worked really well for us at this point."
