Going into the national championship, Duke face-off specialist Brendan Fowler had already earned the NCAA single-season record for face-off wins.
While each face-off win doesn’t matter any more than the next when it comes to that record, the 20 that Fowler accumulated on Monday afternoon will mean a little more to Fowler.
After all, it was on his shoulders that Duke became the national champions, going on a 16-6 run from the second quarter until the end of the game to come back from an early Syracuse lead, ultimately winning, 16-10.
Fowler won 20 of 28 face-offs, allowing Duke (16-5) to maintain possession for the majority of the contest.
“Obviously winning face offs and getting the ball back makes it a lot easier to score goals,” Fowler said.
