Church Announces 2023 Women’s Soccer Schedule
6/12/2023 12:30:00 PM | Women's Soccer
DURHAM – As Duke women's soccer gets set for its 36th season and the 23rd under the direction of head coach Robbie Church, the Blue Devils released their 2023 schedule on Monday.
Duke features 16 regular season matches with 12 of the 16 opponents appearing in the NCAA Tournament a year ago, including four in the quarterfinals. The six non-conference opponents on the slate combined for 69 wins in 2022.
The Blue Devils will host nine home matches – three each in the months of August, September and October at Koskinen Stadium – where Duke has registered a 56-10-7 ledger since 2017.
Fans will be able to get their first look at the 2023 edition of the Blue Devils with an exhibition match versus Wake Forest at home in Koskinen on Monday, Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. The final tune-up before the season opener will be on the road at SEC power South Carolina on Thursday, Aug. 10 at 5 p.m., in Columbia, S.C.
Duke opens the 2023 campaign with three straight home matches in August. The opener will feature the 2022 Big 12 Champions West Virginia on Thursday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. The Blue Devils will then welcome back 2010 Duke graduate Jane Alukonis and her Southern California squad on Aug. 24, before closing the month by hosting Wisconsin (Aug. 27).
The Blue Devils kick off the month of September on the road at the 2022 Pac-12 Champion Stanford on Saturday, Sept. 2 at 10 p.m. (ET). Duke closes the non-conference home portion of the schedule versus East Carolina (Sept. 7) and then the road portion at UNC Greensboro (Sept. 10). Church, a native of Greensboro, N.C., will return to his hometown to face the Spartans.
Duke will open the ACC slate on the road Sept. 17 at Boston College, before hosting Notre Dame (Sept. 21) and NC State (Sept. 24). The Blue Devils then hit the road for a pair of very challenging league foes – Virginia (Sept. 30) and Pittsburgh (Oct. 5).
On Oct. 8, Duke hosts rival North Carolina and Clemson (Oct. 15) followed by a road match in Blacksburg, Va., at Virginia Tech (Oct. 19).
The Blue Devils welcome Florida State for senior day on Oct. 22 and then travel to Louisville to close the regular season on Oct. 26.
The ACC Championship is slated to be played Oct. 29 on campus sites for the quarterfinals and then at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., Nov. 2 and 5 for the semifinals and finals.
As a team, Duke welcomes back five starters and 15 letterwinners off its 15-5-3 squad that advanced to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals for the third straight season. Headlining the returnees include ACC Freshman of the Year Kat Rader, who matched the Duke freshman record with 12 goals and led all rookies nationally with 29 points in 2022.
Other returning starters include Emily Royson, Katie Groff, Maggie Graham and Olivia Migli. Church has brought in another top recruiting class nationally along with a pair of impact transfers – Leah Freeman (Oregon) and Kati Druzina (Notre Dame) – that are expected to have the Blue Devils once again challenging for a national championship.
