DURHAM, N.C. -- Wake Forest stormed back from a 2-0 second-half deficit, but No. 17 Duke scored in the final minute to win, 3-2, at Koskinen Stadium on Thursday night.
Kayla McCoy scored in the third and 28th minutes to put the Blue Devils (9-2-2, 3-1-1 ACC) ahead, 2-0, heading into halftime.
The Demon Deacons (6-5-1, 2-3-0 ACC) then rallied back with two second-half goals to knot the game at 2-2.
In the 60th minute, Ryanne Brown found Bayley Feist open in the middle of the field. Feist unleashed a knuckling shot from 25 yards, sneaking it under the crossbar to make the score 2-1.
Wake Forest netted the equalizer in the 78th minute. Hulda Arnarsdottir was being double-teamed at the edge of the six-yard box, and she dished it off to a wide open Estelle Laurier who beat the keeper for her fourth goal of the season from 12 yards out.
Duke scored the game-winner with just 49 seconds left in regulation. The Blue Devils took a free kick, and Ella Stevens' service found the head of Kat McDonald for the finish.
The Blue Devils held a slight 12-11 advantage in shots, but Wake Forest led in shots on goal, 6-5.
Wake Forest will take on its eighth ranked opponent of the season — the fourth straight — on Sunday at 1 p.m., traveling to No. 10 Florida State.
