It has been a grueling run for the Blue Devils as of late.
With the stakes high, the Blue Devils came into game three of a weekend series against Virginia Tech feeling the pressure to triumph against a strong team. The Hokies, looking for a big-time home upset, certainly looked confident in the middle of the game.
