The Blue Devils split a home doubleheader Saturday in Cameron Indoor Stadium, losing 22-18 to Virginia Tech but taking a 22-12 win over VMI.
Duke (10-9, 0-5 in the ACC) started slowly in the second match after dropping the first, but responded quickly to take control of the meet. Losing 3-0 to VMI, Duke won six straight matches to forge a 22-3 lead that proved insurmountable.
Redshirt sophomore Ben Wales, sophomore Voris Tejada and junior Addison Nuding all notched two wins on the day. Wales, in addition, picked up a pin.
Redshirt sophomore captain John Barone tacked another win to his 32-6 record and jumped to ninth place in all-time winning percentage at Duke. With two dual meets and the ACC tournament remaining, Barone needs only three more victories to set a school record for single-season wins.
Duke will hit the mats again Wednesday at UNC-Greensboro.
