Duke men advance to lacrosse title game | News & Observer
The Duke University men on Saturday ended a four-year absence from the NCAA lacrosse tournament’s championship game. It looked a lot like the Blue Devils never left.
Fourth-seeded Duke handled defending champion and top-seeded Maryland 13-8 before 30,616 at Gillette Stadium, never trailing against its former ACC rival.
Tewaaraton Award finalist Justin Guterding had three goals and three assists, freshmen Nakeie Montgomery and Joe Robertson both had hat tricks, and fifth-year senior Danny Fowler made 12 saves for the Blue Devils (16-3), who will play for their fourth national title since 2010 on Monday when they meet third-seeded Yale (16-3).
