A Comeback for the Ages; Duke's Next Men Step Up

Breaking Down Duke's Comeback Win
Notre Dame dominated action for three-plus quarters, but the Blue Devils persevered late in the game to ultimately emerge victorious in overtime. The win was an all-around team effort as Duke's 'ride and close' defense forced the Irish into mistakes, while the offense took advantage of its opportunities.

Trailing 12-7 after Notre Dame's Reilly Gray notched his first goal of the season with 8:41 left in the fourth quarter, it seemed unlikely Duke would be able to dig itself out of the five-goal hole, especially with how it had played the previous 52 minutes.
