Grella's Extra Time Goal Lifts Duke to Second Straight ACC Championship

After ninety-six and a half minutes of scoreless soccer, Mike Grella's 30 yard run, followed by a 30 yard knuckling blast that wrong-footed Wake Forest keeper Brian Edwards sent Duke to its second straight ACC Championship. The goal, Grella's 11th of the season, was the Duke sophmore's fifth game winning tally of the 2006 campaign. With the 1-0 extra time victory over the Deacons, the Blue Devils find themselves in prime position to host matches throughout the upcoming NCAA College Cup playoffs.

Both Duke and Wake Forest will learn their NCAA tournament fates on Monday during NCAA Tournament Selection show, which will be televised on ESPNNews between 4pm - 5pm EST.
