Despite a strong effort from the two-headed Tweed-Kent attack, Duke was unable to pull out a win against N.C. State Friday.
Playing in Raleigh against the ACC’s worst team, the No. 19 Blue Devils (5-2-4, 1-2-2 in the ACC) outshot the Wolfpack (5-6-1, 0-4-1) 10-9 and held the advantage in corner kicks, but their multiple scoring opportunities were to no avail. Daniel Tweed-Kent had a 15-yard look early in the second half, but he saw the attempt knocked away by an N.C. State defender. His brother Christopher soon after got his own good look at the goal, but he was denied by goalie Will Mackvick.
The two overtime periods saw more of the same back-and-forth action that had characterized the game’s first 90 minutes. One of the few open looks came from the Wolfpack’s Chris Zuerner, who shot from six yards out. Center back Andrew Wenger stopped the N.C. State senior, though, with a diving kick in front of the goal.
Duke returns to action Oct. 15 at California-Santa Barbara.
