The Hokies jumped out first with two goals in the first period. Duke responded with a goal by Robert Fogarty to make the score 2-1. Fogarty took a nice pass from Lake and jammed the puck in the right side of the goal. The Devils took the 2-1 deficit into the second period.

Duke tied the score in the second on Lake's penalty shot goal. A Virginia Tech player covered the puck in his own crease, giving Duke's leading scorer the penalty shot. On the penalty shot, Lake faked left before roofing the puck in the upper right corner of the goal. Hokie goalie Robert Stephens had no chance.

Duke scored their third unanswered goal when Jesse Swanko converted a rebound in front of the net. A late second period goal by the Hokies left the teams tied at three after two periods.

Swanko recorded the game winning goal and his second of the game about eight minutes into the third. The Duke winger took a pass from Lake and fired a nice wrist shot off the post and into the net.

The Devils held the Hokies off the rest of the way thanks to great defense by Drew Evans, Luke Wolin, and Ben Peterson. Duke hopes to take the momentum from their 4-3 win into next weekend's game against rival North Carolina.
