Duke 16, Vanderbilt 15: Lindsay Gilbride scored with one second to play to lift Duke past Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA Tournament yesterday in Durham.
The Blue Devils tied the score at 15 on a goal by Sarah Bullard with three minutes left. With 19 seconds left, Duke called a time out to set up its game-winning goal. Bullard then found a cutting Gilbride for the goal.
"It was a play we have in our repertoire that we use,'' Coach Kerstin Kimel of Duke said. "It wasn't executed perfectly, but it was executed enough to get the look we wanted."
Gilbride led all scorers with six points on a season-high five goals and an assist. Bullard had three goals and an assist, Kat Thomas had three goals and Christie Kaestner had two goals and three assists.
Duke advances to the second round and will face Northwestern in Evanston, Ill., on Saturday.
