Contents

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC played a reduced schedule in 2020 and the NCAA Tournament was postponed to 2021. [1] [2] The ACC did not play a spring league schedule, but did allow teams to play non-conference games that would count toward their 2020 record in the lead up to the NCAA Tournament. [3]

The Blue Devils finished the fall season 7–4–2, 4–2–2 in ACC play to finish in sixth place. As the fifth seed in the ACC Tournament, they defeated Clemson before losing to eventual champions Florida State in the Semifinals. The Blue Devils finished the spring season 3–1–1 and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. In the tournament, they defeated Arizona State in the Second Round and Ole Miss in the Third Round before losing to Florida State in the Quarterfinals, on penalties to end their season.

Previous season

The Blue Devils finished the season 9–4–7, 3–1–6 in ACC play to finish in fifth place. As the sixth seed in the ACC Tournament, they lost to Virginia in the Quarterfinals. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament where they defeated Utah before losing to Wisconsin in the Second Round.
