Despite a career-best five goals from junior Jenna Collins, the Navy women's lacrosse team fell to 10th-ranked Duke, 20-12, on Sunday in Durham, North Carolina.
"A mixture of uncharacteristic turnovers and a failure to connect on crucial scoring opportunities were two keys to our loss today," Navy head coach Cindy Timchal said. "Give credit to Duke for their constant pressure on both ends of the field and taking advantage of our mistakes throughout the game."
It was a game of sports from start to finish. Navy (1-1) and Duke (3-0) traded two goals each in the first 5:21 before the Blue Devils ran off four straight scores to build a 6-2 lead.
