By Emmie Cleveland The Breeze

Rest seems to be what “doc- tor” Steve Secord is prescribing for his team. Secord purposefully rescheduled the Longwood University match so his team could have a week of rest. The originally-scheduled match was cancelled because of rain on March 25 and was made up Thursday. The Dukes (11-9 overall, 3-2 in conference) won 5-2 in their last match before the Colonial Athletic becky sullivan / the breeze Association tournament this weekend. Senior midfielder Ashley Kimener runs toward the goal in Friday’s game. Kimener scored two goals on “You want to play them,” five shots and was one of five seniors who scored nine of JMU’s 15 goals.
