The 2013 season was filled with many highlights for Duke field hockey—a shootout defeat of North Carolina, victory in the NCAA semifinals against top-seeded Maryland and a trip to the NCAA championship game for the first time in program history.
Some experts had pegged Mercer to be a Cinderella in the NCAA tournament. The team’s overall height, combined with the experience of their seven seniors compared to Duke’s two and one graduate student on scholarship, would propel the No. 14 seed past the No. 3, they predicted. So, in one of my four brackets, I listened to their advice. I advanced Mercer to the Round of 32. It hurt me to do so—and it hurt even more when the Bears came out on top in the tournament.

I have been at Duke for almost a year and a half now, and it has snowed one time. I remember exactly where I was when the first flake fell last January—in The Loop eating dinner with a friend. When I walked outside, there was maybe a half-of-an-inch of snow on the ground at most, but the entire campus was a ghost town. The bus schedule was a mess, all parties that night had been cancelled already and—my most vivid memory—there was a sign adorning the six stairs leading up to the chapel announcing “STAIRS CLOSED” in big, black letters. My friend and I felt rebellious and walked up them anyway.
