HOW IT HAPPENED
- Duke quickly tested Georgetown's goalkeeper, with Drew Kerr firing off the first shot of the night and forcing a save in the fifth minute.
- Eryk Dymora made his first save of the match in the 11th minute, diving to his left for the stop.
- Axel Gudbjornsson made his first appearance of the season, subbing on in the 25th minute. Two shot attempts by the Hoyas in the following minutes sailed wide of the frame, before a shot by freshman Max Simpson in the 30th minute forced another save by Georgetown.
- The two teams remained deadlocked at 0-0 after the first 45 minutes of play. Duke created the first major scoring chance in the second half, with Thomas Vold heading a service by Drew Kerr on frame, which was tipped over the bar.
- The Hoyas opened the scoring in the 66th minute, taking the 1-0 lead with a shot from inside the 18-yard box and the hosts doubled their lead just over 10 minutes later.
- Kenan Hot started the late heroics, cutting the deficit in half in the 84th minute, using an assist from Alessandro Arlotti to fire a shot inside of the left post for his second goal in as many games. Leonardo D'Ambrosio leveled the score less than 15 seconds later, with his left-footed strike assisted by Racaj.
- The draw between the two teams was the first in the five games played between the two teams. The all-time series now stands at 2-2-1.
