DURHAM – Duke junior midfielder Charlotte van Oirschot scored 2:49 into overtime to send the 16th-ranked Blue Devils field hockey team past Appalachian State, 2-1, in their home debut Friday evening on Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium. Senior captain Hannah Miller provided the game-winning assist.
The Blue Devils improve to 3-2 overall, while App State falls to 3-2. All three of Duke's victories this season have come in overtime with the other two going to a penalty stroke shootout and double overtime, respectively.
How It Happened
