Duke blankets UNC star Bitter

Posted May 18, 2009
Frustrated all game by the Duke defense, dynamic North Carolina star Billy Bitter had the ball in his stick, running downfield in transition with 18 seconds left and a chance to tie the NCAA quarterfinal game. But as they did the whole day, the Blue Devils found a way to stop the nation’s leading scorer. Trailing the play, senior midfielder Sam Payton jarred the ball lose to sew up Duke’s 12-11 victory Sunday at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium. (Examiner.com)
