CARY, N.C. – Senior Caitlin Cosme scored off a corner kick in the third minute, and the No. 9 seeded Duke women's soccer team held off a late attack to beat Ole Miss, 1-0, in the NCAA Tournament Round of 16 at the WakeMed Soccer Complex.

Senior Tess Boade played the corner to the near post, where Cosme headed home her sixth goal of the season to give Duke an early advantage.
