Duval has two five-point games on the season including a four-goal game against the Connecticut Chiefs. Duval has recorded at least one point in every game so far and is a key reason why the Warriors are off to a 6-0-0 start. Duval was also named Star of the Week in Week #2 and was a Showcase Star in last week’s Worcester Showcase.
