DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU Women's Soccer program fought hard against No. 6 Duke but fell 5-0 at home on Friday in Washburne Stadium.

SMU (5-6-4, 0-5-2 ACC) battled, but the Mustangs ran into one of the top offensive teams in the nation, Duke (8-1-4, 3-1-3 ACC), who led by only one at halftime before scoring four more in the second half to reach the final score.

Kaylee Noble and Libby Jannereth led SMU on offense, each tallying a shot on goal. Aubrey Brown totaled eight saves, her second most in a game this season.

Hali Hartman and Ella DeMott were the only two non-goalkeepers to play the full 90 in the match. DeMott has played the full 90 in six matches this season while Hartman has totaled seven.

The match was a top-50 RPI showdown as SMU entered the game 47^th in the RPI rankings while Duke was ranked 18^th.

The Mustangs' defense held strong in the first half as the Blue Devils were only able to get one across in the frame. Brown had three saves in the first, keeping SMU in the match. However, the Blue Devils turned up the pressure in the second half, scoring four times before the clock ran out.
