Opening Faceoff
- Duke enters the midweek contest after a commanding 19-7 victory over Bellarmine in the season opener Feb. 4. High Point is playing its first official game of 2023.
- High Point finished with a 7-8 record in 2022 and was picked to finish fourth in the Atlantic 10 preseason poll. Junior attackman Brayden Mayea was a preseason all-A10 pick after posting 40 goals in 2022. High Point is in the A10 with Richmond, Saint Joseph's, UMass, Hobart and St. Bonaventure.
- The attack unit of Andrew McAdorey, Brennan O'Neill and Dyson Williams paced the Blue Devils against Bellarmine. The trio combined for 17 of the team's 30 points with O'Neill leading the way with seven points (2g, 5a). Williams contributed four goals and McAdorey had three goals and two assists.
- Duke's defense was equally as successful, holding Bellarmine without a score for 32:52 and without a shot for the first 11:34 of the first quarter. Rookie Henry Bard finished his collegiate debut with three ground balls and a caused turnover.
- Graduate student transfer William Helm made the start in the cage and picked up eight saves and allowed four goals in 47:30. Helm came to Durham following four seasons at Division III St. Lawrence where he was the 2022 Liberty League Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
