If there was a place in the standings for half-wins, the No. 18 men's basketball team's 84-64 victory over South Carolina State Monday night would go there.
Many teams point to a big victory as the turning point of a season. But the women's soccer team experienced its change during the halftime of a game it would eventually lose.
If the women's basketball team is thinking about Big Macs and Chicken McNuggets this weekend, there's a logical reason for it. The No. 19 Blue Devils are hosting the Duke Women's Basketball Classic this weekend to benefit the local Ronald McDonald house. This is the fourth year of the tournament, and every year the players take the time to visit the house and cook dinner for the parents and other siblings of children in the hospital.

The other recruits will be featured in issues of The Chronicle published after Thanksgiving break.

The volleyball team faced a formidable task this past weekend, taking on the top two teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference on the road. The Blue Devils were swatted away by No. 20 Georgia Tech, losing 3-0 on Friday. Saturday wasn't much better, as Duke fell in a heartbreaking five-game match to Clemson.
Most teams use exhibition games to find holes in their game plan. Rarely do they use these games to find holes in the stadium.
Heading into its game against Clemson last year, the Duke football team was undefeated and had entered the national rankings for the first time since 1989. Down 13-10 late in the fourth quarter, a Ray Farmer blocked punt rolled into the endzone. Farmer jumped on the ball and sealed Duke's unbeaten streak. For the Tigers, though, it was another dent in a forgettable season.
Five members of the women's tennis team traveled to Lexington, Ky., this past weekend for the Rolex Qualifiers.

After a month-long hiatus from tournament play, the women's golf team swung back into action this weekend at the Carolyn Cudone Intercollegiate in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
