DURHAM – Duke men's lacrosse graduates Nakeie Montgomery and Joe Robertson have been named to the USILA Scholar All-America team as announced by the coaches' organization. Additionally, the Blue Devils garnered the Division I Team All-Academic recognition for overall team grade point average.
Montgomery and Robertson were recognized for their success on the lacrosse field and in the classroom. Both excelled in both areas throughout their illustrious careers as Blue Devils.
A two-time first team All-America pick, Montgomery earned his bachelor's degree in the spring of 2021 and most recently completed his Master of Management Studies degree from Duke's Fuqua School of Business. Following his selection to the All-America first team this season, Montgomery became just the fourth Blue Devil midfielder to garner first-team All-America recognition twice in his career, joining Deemer Class (2014, 2016), Myles Jones (2015, 2016) and Kevin Cassese (2002, 2003).
Duke's midfielder leader for the past two seasons, Montgomery finished the 2022 campaign with 29 goals and 19 assists for a career-best 48 points. He registered seven hat tricks this season, including in three ACC contests, and finished his career with 16.
Starting 53 games over the course of his five seasons in Durham, Montgomery departed Durham ranked 28th in scoring with 87 goals and 67 assists for 154 points. Over the course of his career, he helped the Blue Devils advance to championship weekend three times, including the NCAA runner-up in 2018. In his first two seasons, Montgomery amassed 55 points with 16 as a rookie and 39 in his sophomore campaign.
A two-time team captain and four-year starter at attack, Robertson earned his bachelor's degree in the spring of 2021 and recently garnered a Master of Liberal Arts degree from Duke this past May. He was a five-time ACC Academic Honor Roll selection and a four-time All-ACC Academic Team pick.
A starter in 67 of his 69 games played, the Salem, Va., native finished his career with 147 goals and 65 assists for 212 points. He scored 10 game-winning goals over the course of his career, including three in overtime against North Carolina, Virginia and Loyola in 2021. This past season, Robertson became the
14th player in Duke lacrosse history to amass 200 career points and graduated ranks 11th in career points and ninth in career goals.
As a team, Duke excelled in the classroom once again. The Blue Devils finished the 2021-2022 academic year with a 3.412 team grade point average. Duke posted a 3.405 grade point average in the fall with 27 players achieving above a 3.50 GPA. Duke, Notre Dame and Virginia represented the ACC on the list.
