Pam Bustin is excited to announce the 2022 Blue Devil freshman class this spring. We've profiled nearly the entire class and the final Blue Devil we must introduce to you is midfielder

"Every time I see Reagan on the field, she is better than the last. We are so excited to get her to Duke to continue her growth over the next four years. Reagan's calm, but competitive demeanor should serve her well as she navigates not only through great ACC play, but throughout our entire NCAA schedule. She leads by example and is extremely coachable with incredible athletic ability and hockey skills to match. The consistent combination of turf play and high-level competition should prepare Reagan for a successful and fulfilling Duke True experience."
