Without a single game decided by fewer than 10 points, the No. 4 Blue Devils (15-0, 5-0 in the ACC) have yet to be challenged this season. The team enters its Wednesday night matchup against Virginia Tech (7-9, 1-4) as the last remaining unbeaten in Division I basketball—men’s or women’s—and has shown no signs of slowing down.
Despite the bright orange uniforms of the visiting Tigers, Cameron Indoor Stadium was overwhelmed with gray. Chelsea Gray, that is. The junior recorded a career-high 15 assists, as the No. 4 Blue Devils used a second half scoring blitz to take down Clemson 82-45.
Closing the season with a series of four must-win games, Duke has been making it look easy. After downing Davidson last Wednesday, the Blue Devils took a trip to Blacksburg this weekend and smothered Virginia Tech in a 2-0 win.
With just a handful of games left in the regular season, every match is important for the Blue Devils, who need to finish the season at .500 to be eligible for an NCAA tournament bid.
A big crowd did not faze the No. 5 Blue Devils Thursday, as the team knocked off N.C. State 3-0 for its third straight win in ACC play.
The No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers might have a long weekend ahead of them. In a tough, physical game against No. 10 Maryland Thursday night, the Cavaliers were stunned by two late goals just minutes apart—and now they face No. 5 Duke (8-2-1, 2-2-1 in ACC) Sunday at 2 p.m.
Sometimes it takes just 30 minutes of solid play to win a soccer game. That was certainly the case Tuesday night at Koskinen Stadium, as the Blue Devils (2-3) turned a lackluster first half into a resounding 3-0 victory against Georgia State (2-2). The win was much needed for a team that had managed just three goals in its first four games of the season.
From Tobacco Road to the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the women of Duke basketball are going global with their skills on the court.
With two weeks remaining in the ACC season, the race for the top seeds in the conference tournament is beginning to take shape. Virginia and Florida State, both unbeaten in the conference, stand tied for first, with North Carolina and Duke knotted in second place with one loss apiece.

With junior goalkeeper James Belshaw barking orders at the backline and a number of fresh faces continuing to acclimate to their new roles, the Blue Devils managed to pull out a 2-1 win against N.C. State Tuesday.
Since 1989, Gary Williams and Mike Krzyzewski stood on the sidelines for every Duke-Maryland contest. Williams, who took the Terrapins to the 2002 National Championship, the 2001 Final Four and four ACC regular season titles, stepped down before the season, ending an era of Maryland basketball.
Despite insisting that she has no intention of fencing in the 2012 London Olympic Games, senior Becca Ward continues to prove that she is one of the best sabre fencers in the nation.
It was a busy weekend for Duke, as the team split to play in two separate tournaments.
Playing in front of a record home crowd at Ludwig Field Friday night, Maryland handed Duke its first loss in eight games, 4-2. Solid defense from the No. 3 Terrapins (13-1-1, 4-1-0 in the ACC) made it difficult for the No. 22 Blue Devils (7-5-1, 3-2-1) to find any rhythm on the offensive end. Duke forward Andrew Wenger, the nation’s leader in points, was held scoreless by the Maryland back line.
Although Andrew Wenger seems to play a role in every Duke goal, the Blue Devils are gradually proving that it is not all about the star striker.
The Blue Devils continued their recent offensive onslaught Tuesday night, increasing their goal total to nine in the past two games—including five from Andrew Wenger.
Despite losing star center back and redshirt junior Ashley Rape for the remainder of the season, the Blue Devils are quickly returning to form. After falling to Auburn 1-0 last Friday, No. 10 Duke (5-1) bounced back two days later with a 1-0 win over Ole Miss. Although Duke’s performance was far from perfect, defensive issues, which seemed likely after the loss of Rape, seemed to have been addressed and the offense continued to create dangerous chances on goal. The team returns to Koskinen Stadium for this weekend’s Duke/Nike Classic, playing Texas A&M (3-3) Friday and UNC-Greensboro (1-3) Sunday.
After two tough away matches against UNC-Greensboro and Furman, the Duke men’s soccer team will be playing at Koskinen Stadium for the first time this season this weekend. The Blue Devils (1-1) host No. 9 UC-Santa Barbara (1-0) and No. 17 SMU (0-1) in this weekend’s Duke/Nike Classic.
