Duke Universitys womens soccer team, led by new head coach Kieran Hall, had a remarkable season, reaching the College Cup for the second consecutive year. Despite early season challenges, they finished with seventeen wins, five losses, and one tie, boasting a strong seven-win, three-loss conference record. The teams offense, powered by junior Mia Minestrellas eighteen goals and redshirt junior Kat Raders twelve goals and assists, was a standout feature. On defense, sophomore Caroline Dysarts fifty-six saves and seventy-three point seven percent save percentage, along with center back Cameron Rollers ACC Defender of the Year title, were crucial. The Blue Devils navigated a rollercoaster season, including a tie against Alabama and losing three of their first four conference games, but ultimately secured the ACC championship and reached the College Cup semifinals. Although they fell to Stanford, several players received accolades, including Kat Rader and Avery Oders NCAA College Cup All-Tournament team selection, and Mia Minestrella and Kat Raders United Soccer Coaches All-America honors.
