DURHAM – Duke women's soccer sophomore
Michelle Cooper continues to turn in one of the best individual seasons in Blue Devil history as the forward earned College Soccer News Team of the Week honors this week. Â
A product of Clarkston, Mich., Cooper collected five points on two goals and an assist in a 4-0 shutout of Radford in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday evening in Durham. She assisted on the opening goal to
