I'll update this as a blog during the game. Watching it on LSN/TSN. Not sure why Stillwell faced off instead of Woodall but it didn't work He had a violation.

Poor clear by Jimmie Wilkerson. Tries to clear the ball one and five and then gives up goal.

Stillwell back on face-offs and wins the second.

Monahan is tripped. He looks a bit slow, hampered by a leg injury. First EMO for Towson down 1-0 with 12:00 left in first quarter.

And Towson does what they usually do in EMO, they throw it away. Zero shots. Team just is overly patient some times. Another goal for Duke off transition. Going to be a long day.

Duke's defense is just too good for a subpar Towson offense. They are pressing our short sticks. Good possession but no real quality shots. Down 2-0.

Timeout. Down 2-0 with 6:23 left in first quarter. Defense has another communication issue on 2nd goal, which is baffling considering all 3 close guys are back. Left Duke's best player wide open. Offensively, we just don't have a midfielder that can dodge against that D. This looks like a FF team. Great D. Good goaltending. They have it all.

Robertson out on midfield. Sunday steps up with his eighth goal. Just runs by a pole with nice righty shot. 2-1 Duke

Gutterding another easy goal as Ewell is ball watching. 3-1 Duke but Towson gets ball back on face-off
