After an afternoon of inconsistent offense, Georgetown missed five shots, including two free position tries and four attempts that were stopped by the Duke goalie, in the final 1:45 of their NCAA first-round game against Duke and came out on the short end of a 10-8 final score at the Multi-Sport Facility.

Female Athlete of the Year: Ingrid Wells
Mark Twain once said, “It is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”
