Two Duke Lacrosse Players Win Gold
Duke sophomore lacrosse players Kyle Keenan and Kyle Turri won gold medals as members of the US U19 men’s lacrosse team. The US has won every U19 world title since the tournament began back in 1988.
The US team avenged an earlier loss to Canada in the gold medal game with a 10-8 victory in the 2012 Federation of International Lacrosse U-19 World Championship.
Keenan scored a goal and dished out an assist in the gold medal game. Turri, a goalie, had four saves in the second half.
The US dominated Canada on faceoffs, winning 17 of 22. The US led 6-2 at the half, led by a 4-0 second quarter run by the US. Canada came back with three quick goals to start the third quarter, but the US came right back to score three of the next four goals to take a 9-6 lead heading into the fourth and final quarter.
MVP Matt Kavanagh scored two goals in the gold medal game and had two assists. He was also named the tournament’s top attackman.
