Orange Rankings

    - Junior goalkeeper Lysianne Proulx leads the ACC and ranks 46th in the nation in total saves this season with 77. She's also first in the conference in saves per game (5.13) and goalie minutes (1401:06). Proulx' 10 saves against Auburn on Sept. 5 are the second-most any ACC team has made this year.
    - Senior Taylor Bennett is tied for the best PK percentage in the nation after netting both of her opportunities this year.

Scouting the Blue Devils
Duke is coming off back-to-back 1-1 ties, drawing Louisville on Oct. 18 and Notre Dame Oct. 24. The Devils have never lost at home this year, their lone defeat coming on the road against UNC in the second match of the year.

Duke is led by Ella Stevens (8G, 6A), Mackenzie Pluck (7G, 5A), and Marykate McGuire (8G, 2A), all of which have at least 18 points on the year. Primary goalkeeper for the Blue Devils is Brooke Heinsohn who has appeared in 15 games and holds a 0.64 GAA and .846 save percentage.

The Blue Devils rank fifth in the conference and are tied for the fifth-most goals in the ACC. A key for Duke is its defense, which has allowed just 11 goals through 16 games, best for third in the conference.
