The Duke women’s soccer team stuck it to its Tobacco Road rival Thursday night when it shut out No. 2 North Carolina, 1-0.
The Blue Devils’ win snapped a six-game winning streak by the Tar Heels.
With just seconds remaining in the first half, Maggie Graham found the back of the net thanks to a pass from Mia Minestrella. It was Graham’s second goal of the year and second in as many games.
“I feel ecstatic. This has been the best game ever.”

Not only did the Blue Devils (3-1, 1-0 ACC) hold the Tar Heels scoreless for 90 minutes, but it marked their third straight game without surrendering a goal. They have only given up one goal this season, a losing effort to Ohio State on Aug. 15.
North Carolina (6-1, 0-1 ACC) will have to wait nearly two months for a shot at revenge. The two rivals don’t meet again until Oct. 31.
