DURHAM – Following a historic 2021 campaign for Duke men's soccer, senior goalkeeper Eliot Hamill has announced he will use the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic and remain the team for the 2022 campaign.
 
"I am very excited and grateful about this opportunity to come back for my fifth year of eligibility as a student at the Fuqua School of Business," said Hamill. "It's been a pleasure to be a part of this team for four years and I feel incredibly lucky to get another one. We have a lot of unfinished business following last year and now it's time to do the work to get ready for next fall. See you in Koskinen Blue Devil fans!"
 
A native of Scarsdale, N.Y., Hamill is coming off a career season in goal for the Blue Devils, going 12-5-1 with a .755 save percentage and 1.24 goals against average. Hamill registered six shutouts and made 71 saves, which was just two away from ranking in the top-10 seasons in program history.
 
A team captain, Hamill's leadership was critical for the Blue Devils throughout the entire season. Hamill guided Duke to several early season wins, including three-straight shutouts in his starts from Sep. 11-25. The senior's shining performance came in a 1-0 win at Clemson in the ACC Championship semifinal, making six saves and facing a season-high 27 shots to down the eventual national champions. The win propelled the Blue Devils to their first ACC final since 2006.
 
Hamill and the Duke squad will return to action in the fall.
