For the second time in the last two weeks, the scene looked the same. The players on the top-ranked men's soccer team (16-0-3) piled on one another as their opponent sat silently on the field in stunned disappointment.
This is both the end and the beginning. Everything the men's soccer team has accomplished means nothing. The undefeated regular season and ACC tournament title are in the past. Now it's win or go home.
The women's basketball team learned last night that scheduling a preseason tournament means tough early matchups and the potential for early losses.
WINSTON-SALEM - To call last night's ACC men's soccer final between the Blue Devils (15-0-3) and the Virginia Cavaliers (12-7-1) a simple game would perhaps be the understatement of the year. Two of the most storied programs in the conference waged a three-overtime, 129-minute war, before Duke was crowned the ACC champion.
After a disastrous 1998-99 campaign, this could be a make-or-break year for Georgia Tech and head coach Bobby Cremins. Last season, the Yellow Jackets posted only the fourth losing record in Cremins' Georgia Tech career, as they finished 15-16 after a first-round loss in the NIT.

During every season there are going to be nail biting contests that test a team's toughness. Those are the games that show what a team is made of. The men's soccer team's 9-1 pummeling of Elon (3-11) at Koskinen Stadium last night was not one of those games.
The student body got its second look at the 1999-2000 Blue Devils at Saturday night's Blue-White scrimmage and saw Shane Battier shining on offense, Mike Dunleavy showing off his versatility and Carlos Boozer playing in a Duke uniform for the first time.
Georgia Tech probably did not come to Duke expecting the kind of game it got. The No. 8 Yellow Jackets escaped Wallace Wade Stadium Saturday with a 38-31 victory, but not without being outplayed for much of the game.
The men's soccer team returns to action for the first time since a disappointing tie against Wake Forest when it takes on N.C. State (5-3-2) at home Sunday.
There are rare occasions in sports where the word blowout cannot adequately describe what occurred in a game. The 7-0 victory by the men's team against Wofford last night was one of those occasions.
The men's soccer team opened its 1999 schedule last night by knocking out the Monmouth Hawks 4-1 at newly renamed Koskinen Stadium.
For the last few weeks, most of the sports-related discussions around campus have focused on underclassmen forgoing the remainder of their NCAA eligibility to enter professional sports. However, Duke is about to lose one of its best athletes a year early-and virtually no one has noticed.
It was another up and down weekend for the baseball team, as the Blue Devils wedged their second ACC victory between their worst loss of the season and a nail-biting defeat.

Sunday went very well for the baseball team as it won two very different games of a double-header against Temple (6-13) at historic Jack Coombs Field.
