2021 was another ho-hum year for head coach Dan Brooks and company, as Gina Kim was the ACC individual medalist, Duke won the ACC team title and the program reached the NCAA semifinals out in Arizona.

After taking down then No. 9 Iowa, Duke was poised to continue its undefeated start over the Ivy League program. While there were little doubts that the Blue Devils would emerge victorious, the Quakers exposed the many strengths and weaknesses of head coach Kara Lawson's roster ahead of the highly anticipated matchup against No. 1 South Carolina on Dec. 15.
Cameron Crazies do not need to look further than their own backyard in Durham to experience Disney’s magic moments. In fact, one look at Duke's game against North Carolina-Wilmington Nov. 14 proves that there is magic in the air of Cameron Indoor Stadium.
