BLACKSBURG, Va. – Duke's Kelsey Duryea and Olivia Jenner were selected to the 2016 ACC All-Tournament Team following the conclusion of the championship Sunday at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium.
Duryea totaled 20 saves in two contests for the Blue Devils, and anchored a defensive unit that held its two opponents to eight and seven goals, respectively. The senior goalkeeper from Beverly, Mass., was solid in the opening minutes of Thursday's quarterfinal win over Virginia, allowing Duke's attack to build a 5-1 lead. She also headlined an impressive defensive effort against North Carolina in the semifinals, limiting the Tar Heels to just the seven goals on 25 shots. The scoring output matched North Carolina's lowest of the season.
Jenner spearheaded Duke's effort at the draw, helping the squad control the category in both tournament contests. The rookie from Annapolis, Md., won five draw controls against the Cavaliers and added seven Friday in the semifinal loss to the Tar Heels. Her performance Friday put her at 93 draws for the season, surpassing Emma Hamm's program record of 89 set during the 2012 campaign. Jenner also led all scorers in Friday's contest, collecting the second hat trick of her career.
Duke reached the ACC semifinals for the second consecutive season, and boasts a 10-8 ledger heading into next Sunday's NCAA Division I Selection Show. The show will air at 9 p.m. on NCAA.com.
