DURHAM — The Blue Devil women’s soccer team controlled play from the opening whistle at Koskinen Stadium Sunday and cruised past Francis Marion (6-9-1), 4-0, in Duke’s final regular season match. The Blue Devils featured goals from juniors Kaitlyn Kerr and Kim DeCesare and sophomores Kelly Cobb and Katy Colas. The Blue Devils (12-3-1, 5-3-2 ACC) opened the match aggressively, controlling possession for most of the first half.

Duke scored its lone tally of the first half off a corner kick by junior Gilda Doria. Doria played a short corner to freshman Cassie Pecht, who then turned and played a perfectly flighted ball to the back post. Kerr was able to run on the ball and head it into the left corner for her fifth goal of the year.

In the 58th minute, Pecht played a through ball to Cobb on the right flank. Cobb took two touches to get the ball into the box before firing a rocket into the top right corner of the net to put the Blue Devils up 2-0. With 15 minutes remaining in the match, Weinberg played a cross off a corner kick and DeCesare was able to head it into the back of the net. In the 82nd minute, junior Mollie Pathman crossed the ball to a wide open Katy Colas, who headed the ball home to put Duke ahead 4-0.

Clemson 1, N.C. State 0: Clemson (6-10-2, 1-9-0 ACC) women scored midway through the second half to top visiting N.C. State (5-13, 0-9). Jenna Polonsky drove in a rebound shot for her third tally of the season, and the game winner at the 72:26 mark of the match.
