It’s been one heck of a season, and there’s more to go.
When our women’s soccer beats wrote their season predictions in August, they were hesitantly optimistic about Robbie Church’s last year as head coach of the program. They were excited about another year of Kat Rader, but nervous about overall success, given Duke’s lackluster 2023 run. This time last year, the Blue Devils were looking at a season that ended after a short stab at the ACC tournament.
Rader, however, suffered an injury in late August that has kept her off the field all season. Even in her absence, the Blue Devils won the regular-season ACC title and have been coasting at No. 1 in the nation for a month.
You can read more about what the Blue Devils will face in the ACC tournament in our preview, but here’s all our coverage of this historic season so far.
