DURHAM – The 12th-ranked Duke men's soccer team will return to Koskinen Stadium on Sunday afternoon for their second game of the 2022 campaign as they take on Milwaukee. The Blue Devils (1-0-0) and the Panthers (0-1-0) will meet on the pitch for the first time in program history, with kickoff scheduled for 2:35 p.m. and the match streaming on ACC Network Extra.
As part of the John Rennie Nike Invitational, Elon and San Diego will start play on Sunday afternoon at 12 p.m., followed by the Blue Devils' contest. Duke women's soccer will cap off the triple-header with their game against Charlotte at 6 p.m.
LAST TIME OUT
45 – The consecutive seasons by the Duke men's soccer program with at least one All-ACC honoree. The team has had one every season since 1976.
11 – The number of new Blue Devils in 2022. 10 freshmen and graduate transfer Peter Wentzel join the fray as new members of the team.
6 – The number of consecutive home opening victories by the Blue Devils. The last non-home opening victory was a 1-1 draw against San Diego in 2016.
2 – ACC award winners returning from last season. Reigning ACC Midfielder of the Year Stroud and ACC Freshman of the Year Mohammed are both back in action for another campaign.
62.8 - The percentage of 2021 goals from returning players this season. While losing Thorleifur Ulfarsson's 15 goals, the team had 27 from returning players this year.
4 - Goals from Taylor during the preseason. The senior has scored one in every game and is aiming to hit the ground running after goals against North Carolina and Clemson last year.
9 – The Blue Devils goal differential during the 2022 preseason. The stretch was buoyed by a 7-1 defeat of Longwood to end the slate.
