4-2, JOHN HOPKIN, AFTER 1

The Dookies evened the score at 2-2 with just over two minutes to play in the first quarter, but then Hopkins scored two quick goals in the quarter's final 39 seconds.

The press box scuttlebutt was about Duke's second goal, when the official statistician credited it to Ned Crotty unassisted. That incited a Duke SID to leap out of his seat and have a talking-to to the stat dude. He was rather, shall we say, imperious about it all. The scorer changed it so that Zack Greer was given an assist.

Once again, I just don't understand why people play goalie in lax. Their success rate is akin to a Yankee middle reliever's, it seems.

Hopkins scores early in the second quarter: 5-2.
