Alex Halis scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 24th minute. Alex Bono made five saves, including the 100th of his career, to earn the shutout and his 17th career victory.

The No. 12-ranked Huskies represented the highest-ranked team the Orange defeated in the regular season since a 3-2 triuph against No. 8 Rutgers on Oct. 17, 2001. It was also the Orange's first win against the Huskies since 2003.

SCOUTING THE BLUE DEVILS
Duke has a 2-1-2 record this season, including a 0-1-1 mark in ACC competition. The Blue Devilsown wins against Northeastern and Georgia Southern, earned draws against Rutgers and Virginia Tech, and lost to No. 13 Maryland.
