The squad matched a program record with seven players on the NFHCA All-South Region teams, and featured a pair of All-Americans in goalkeeper Lauren Blazing and midfielder Aileen Johnson.  The Blue Devils earned their third NCAA Tournament bid in four years in 2014, concluding the season in the quarterfinals with a 13-7 record.

A historic 2013 campaign saw Bustin guide Duke to the NCAA championship match for the fourth time in program history and the first time since 2005. The Blue Devils reached the title match with a 3-2 semifinal upset of top-ranked and top-seeded Maryland, a win that also marked the 200th of Bustins collegiate coaching career.
