The first time Duke ever played North Carolina in lacrosse, which also happened to be the first officially recorded lacrosse game in the state of North Carolina, the Blue Devils upended the Tar Heels with a narrow 2-1 victory.

Ask anyone who has followed the resurgence of Duke football to describe this season, and the two words you're most likely to hear are "fairy tale."
Last Saturday, the Duke lacrosse team went into Charlottesville and pulled off a 9-8 upset of then second-ranked Virginia -- a victory head coach Mike Pressler called "the biggest win in the program's history."

The Duke lacrosse team moved one step closer to being mentioned in the same breath with the nation's elite teams Saturday, as it sank Navy on the Midshipmen's home turf, 14-9. It is the first time the Blue Devils have beaten Navy on the road in 27 years.
