Dukes Elite 2030AA went 6-0 (outscored opponents 59-16) to win the World Series East Region qualifier recently at Delaware Turf. This is the third consecutive Dukes team to qualify for the World Series and the club’s second consecutive East Region championship, having gone a combined 12-0 in 2024 and 2025.
The playoff round featured semifinal and championship game wins over the two highest-ranked teams in NJ. Dukes was anchored by staunch defense and goaltending and scoring from all spots across the midfield and attack units. This most recent accomplishment follows Duke’s 2030’s back-to-back championships at the highly competitive North American Lacrosse (NAL) summer and fall events.
