CONWAY, S.C. - The Duke men's soccer team played to a 1-1 draw at Coastal Carolina in the Blue Devils' first preseason action of the 2025 campaign.

In the first exhibition match of the season, Duke hit the road to battle the Chanticleers. After a scoreless first 45 minutes, the hosts moved in front, 1-0, after a converted penalty kick in the early moments of the final 30 minutes of the match.

The Blue Devils rallied late, with sophomore forward Sol Arbib finding the back of the net in the waning minutes to level the score at 1-1. Adrian Byasiima, a sophomore forward, tallied the assist on the equalizing goal.

Duke returns to preseason action on Tuesday, Aug. 12, when the Blue Devils once again hit the road, for an exhibition match at UNC Asheville. Kickoff at Greenwood Soccer Field is scheduled for 6 p.m.

The Blue Devils close the preseason with their lone home exhibition, on Saturday, Aug. 16, against James Madison. Admission to the match at Koskinen Stadium is free.

Duke opens the regular season at Koskinen Stadium on Thursday, Aug. 21 against San Diego at 8 p.m.
