10 DUKE


2016 Record // 11-9 (4-3 ACC)


Last Seen // Suffering its third loss to North Carolina in one season, this time in the second round of the NCAA tournament.


Starts Lost // 34% Scoring Lost // 36%


Forecast // Duke rebuilt after losing six starters and more than 70 percent of their point production last year. 2017 looks rosier at the outset. Top scorer Kyra Harney returns, as does draw specialist Olivia Jenner. However, the Blue Devils must replace stalwart goalie Kelsey Duryea, just one of the questions on their defensive end.

“A DOWN YEAR FOR THE ACC COULD HELP DUKE.”

STANFORD 2016 Record // 14-4 (8-1 MPSF)


Last Seen // Falling victim to the geographical constraints of the NCAA tournament, losing to MPSF rival USC for the third time.


Starts Lost // 45% Scoring Lost // 34%


Forecast // The loss of midfielder Lucy Dikeou and defender Adrienne Anderson surely will hurt, but the Cardinal return attacker Kelsey Murray, their top scorer in 2016. Kelly Myers will take the reins on the draw.

“WILL FEEL THE LOSS OF DIKEOU IN THE MIDFIELD, BUT STRONG EVERYWHERE ELSE.”

VIRGINIA 2016 Record // 9-9 (3-4 ACC)


Last Seen // Mounting a too-little too-late comeback in the second half of an NCAA tournament first- round loss to Johns Hopkins.


Starts Lost // 34% Scoring Lost // 27%


Forecast // Top scorer Kasey Behr returns, but seniors Kelly Reese, Besser Dyson and Posey Valis should be key leaders on offense. The Cavaliers’ starting goalie, Rachel Vander Kolk, now has U.S. experience under her belt and will play behind a defense bolstered by U.S. U19 defender Sarah Platt.


ENEMY LINES


“LUCKILY, A LOT OF TEAMS IN THE ACC LOST A LOT OF TALENT. IF THEY IMPROVE IN NET, MAYBE THEY COULD STEAL SOME WINS.”
