Andrew Wenger often jokes about his positional versatility. Throughout his career, his athleticism has led to various coaches playing him all over the field. Under Duke head coach John Kerr, though, Wenger has spent the vast majority of his time anchoring the defensive line at center-back. At least, until now.
At the annual preseason Blue-White game, students eagerly anticipate the upcoming year by watching an intrasquad scrimmage to kick off the year.

In New York City, it’s not hard to find a Duke graduate with an economics degree. But one such alumnus is rather unique— he wears cleats to work instead of polished shoes, buttons a jersey each day rather than a collared shirt, and doesn’t work anywhere near Wall Street. His name is Chris Capuano, and he reports to the office every day as a right-handed pitcher for Major League Baseball’s New York Mets.
A lot can happen in two weeks without games—seniors took their final exams of college and goalie Dan Wigrizer even suffered a concussion in practice.

PHILADELPHIA — With a few seconds left on the shot clock and only 3:30 left in the game, the ball found its way into Karima Christmas’s hands. Forced to take an off-balance shot, she missed, and the ball ricocheted to the side.

The Blue Devils may have entered the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championship seeded 10th out of 16, but it would seem nobody told them that.
Duke’s offensive explosion in the second period of Sunday’s game was unlike anything senior Zach Howell had been a part of in his four-year collegiate career.
The last time North Carolina beat Duke in Chapel Hill was Mar. 19, 2003, when the two teams had different head coaches.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Opposing teams only need one thing on their mind when developing a game plan to beat the Cavaliers: Stop the perimeter offense, and everything else follows. Virginia entered the game ranked second in the conference in 3-point field goal percentage, and with four starting guards, the team clearly strategizes around its outside play.
Last year Duke entered spring practice with more questions than answers. Prime among them was the health of then-redshirt freshman quarterback Sean Renfree, who was recovering from an ACL tear that he suffered at the end of the season.
