To put it mildly, this year’s Duke roster is very different compared to last year’s group. Incoming players outnumber returners six to five, and after a season-ending injury to senior point guard Vanessa de Jesus, only two of last year’s starters will be on the team again this year.

Soccer is a strange game. Teams play a full 90 minutes against each other, but sometimes a goal just is not in the cards. Such was the case in Pittsburgh Saturday evening, as Duke and the Panthers exchanged several quality offensive opportunities but ultimately played to a 0-0 draw.

The “next-man-up” mentality is nothing new in sports. It’s especially prevalent in football, a brutally physical competition that often leads to several injuries per game.
