STANFORD, Calif. – On November 27, 2015, Duke sophomore goalkeeper EJ Proctor stopped a pair of penalty kicks and the Blue Devils made three of their four penalty kicks to advance past top-seeded Stanford in a penalty kick shootout in the NCAA Women's Soccer quarterfinals. Duke advanced to the NCAA semifinals for the third time in program history with the 3-2 shootout victory.
Toni Payne netted Duke's lone goal in the game early in the first half and Proctor finished with seven saves in 110 minutes of action that ended in a 1-1 draw. Stanford (19-2-2) held a 22-8 advantage in shots, but the two teams created equal quality scoring chances throughout the game.
