HAMILTON, N.Y. – Duke erupted for six goals in the first half en route to a convincing 10-1 win at Colgate in non-conference field hockey action at Tyler's Field Sunday. Seven different players scored goals for the 18th-ranked Blue Devils, with sophomore Logan Clouser leading the way with a hat trick.

Duke improves to 4-4 overall and 2-1 in true road contests. Colgate falls to 2-6. The Blue Devils led 6-0 at the half and tacked on four goals in the final 30 minutes, including three in the fourth quarter for the nine-goal win.

How it Happened

The Blue Devils scored three goals in the opening six minutes and four in the first quarter to jump all over the Raiders, 4-0, after 15 minutes of action.
Junior Charlotte van Oirschot got Duke on the board in the fourth minute, tipping in rookie Macy Szukics' shot off the penalty corner. The assist was the first point for the first-year midfielder.
Senior captain Hannah Miller gave the Blue Devils the 2-0 lead 95 seconds later, beating a couple of Raider defenders and slipping a shot past goalkeeper Anna Unger.
Thirty-three seconds later, Clouser notched the first of her three tipping in Issy Carey's shot of the penalty corner. Van Oirschot was credited with a second assist as the stopper on the corner insert. With just 45 ticks remaining in the first stanza, Van Oirschot added another two points to her total, getting a stick on another shot from Szukics on a penalty corner.
The Blue Devils were outstanding defensively, using high pressure to keep Colgate from getting into its offensive third. Duke held Colgate without a shot and penalty corner in the first half.
Sophomore Josephine Palde and junior Alayna Burns sent the Blue Devils into halftime with a 6-0 advantage, scoring five minutes apart in the second quarter.
Sophomore Issy Carey scored the lone goal in the third quarter, finishing a penalty stroke and sophomore Kira Curland found the back of the cage and assisted on another for a 9-0 lead with 4:20 remaining. Clouser scored the team's final two goals.
Colgate's lone goal came off a penalty stroke with 1:26 remaining.
The Blue Devils, controlling possession throughout the 60 minutes, amassed 31 shots to Colgate's five. Duke earned 13 penalty corners, while the Raiders managed to win only two.
In goal, Piper Hampsch, Grace Brightbill and Charlotte Johnson split the 60 minutes. Johnson made the lone save on the afternoon. Anna Unger had three saves for Colgate.
