There is an old '60s song that goes, "Short people have no reason to live." Well, the volleyball team would certainly take exception to that phrase and point toward its go-to player, junior Sarah Peifer.
The volleyball team played Atlantic Coast Conference leader North Carolina tightly throughout the match in Chapel Hill Friday night but lost 3-0 in the end. The Blue Devils rebounded Saturday night, however, with a 3-1 win over N.C. State.
"I think I can. I think I can."
The men's basketball team did its best impression of the Big Bang Theory Saturday night in the annual Blue-White scrimmage when Chris Burgess received a pass from Nate James off the opening tip for a two-handed slam.
"So close but yet so far away." The phrase can accurately sum up the volleyball team's season thus far. The trend continued this weekend as the Blue Devils played competitively throughout, only to lose to Florida State and Georgia Tech this weekend.
On the surface, it would appear that the careers of John Travolta and Bobby Campbell have nothing in common. But they do. Travolta was on a high in the late '70s before disappearing for most of the '80s, only to return with a vengeance in the '90s.
After nearly upsetting second-ranked North Carolina last Wednesday, the field hockey team returns to action tonight against Wake Forest in Winston-Salem at 7 p.m.
The sports section of The Chronicle covers almost every known sport from football to basketball to lacrosse to foosball. Yes, even foosball. But there is one sport this great newspaper has neglected over the years.
The volleyball team's season had been described as a roller coaster in the early going, but at this point, a free fall is likely a more accurate comparison.

The struggles of the women's soccer team this season continued over the weekend at the Santa Clara Nike Classic. After defeating Saint Mary's on Friday night, 2-1, the 25th-ranked Blue Devils were blanked by No. 2 Santa Clara, 5-0.
The volleyball team continued its up and down season last night in Winston-Salem as it fell to Wake Forest in five games. The Blue Devils (6-7, 1-2 in the ACC) held a 2-1 game advantage but could not manage to close the match in either games four or five.
Charles Dickens could easily have been referring to the Duke volleyball team when he wrote, "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."

The volleyball team had enjoyed success in its first two tournaments of this season, but this weekend was a different story altogether, as the Blue Devils lost two of three in Georgia's Outback Invitational.
After six games last season, the volleyball team posted a record of 2-4.
Where is Nealon? Where is Nealon? That is the question many Clemson fans may be asking this season. After four solid seasons in Death Valley, Nealon Greene, the school's all-time leading passer, has moved on.
If you were to check the headphones of the Duke volleyball team on the way to Alaska for the Alaska-Fairbanks Nanook Classic, 10 of them would be playing Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again." Meanwhile, senior Megan Irvine would likely be singing along with Mötley Crüe's "Home Sweet Home."
The women's lacrosse team had a mission last night for its game against visiting Vanderbilt: play well in order to gain momentum heading into the upcoming Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. Mission accomplished.
At this time last year, Kate Soulier, Amy Noble, Kristin Seith, Claire Finn and Courtney Rodgers were all playing competitive lacrosse against top quality programs-in high school.
It all happened one beautiful spring Sunday near the end of March in 1985. The dreams of a few good men-no, great men-were realized in front of millions around the world who watched on pay-per-view. Both muscular and flabby men, who would soon change the lives of many, sprinted out of their locker rooms in tight, colored grippers toward a ring called the squared-circle. Yes, it was Wrestlemania I.
