LAST TIME OUT
Duke's fourth-quarter rally fell short as fourth-ranked Boston College defeated 10th-ranked Duke, 17-8, on Saturday afternoon at Fish Field House. Duke's fourth-quarter comeback, sparked by a hat trick by junior Katie DeSimone, came up short as three Eagles finished with a hat trick of their own to lead the home side. DeSimone tallied three goals on five shots while graduate student Maddie Jenner added two scores and an assist. DeSimone filled up the stat sheet with two ground balls and a caused turnover in her all-around performance.
