In a series marred by Duke errors, Virginia swept three games from the Blue Devils this weekend. Committing 10 errors in three games, contrasted to the perfect defense of the Cavaliers, the baseball team paid for its mistakes in unearned runs, as Duke (15-17, 3-6 in the ACC) and Virginia (25-7, 7-4) allowed the same number of earned runs in two of the three games.

(03/31/04 5:00am)
As it rained on Jack Coombs Field yesterday afternoon, the baseball team (15-13) beat High Point (5-23) in a come-from-behind 12-7 win.

The cast of Inside Joke insists that they, in fact, are not D.U.I., Duke's improv troupe. They are a sketch comedy group that performs a number of pre-written skits, mocking everyone from fraternities to Dr. Seuss. The team of 14 puts on around three free shows a semester, the next of which will be Saturday night at the Hideaway at 8:00 p.m. Their final production, on April 16-17, however, will have an admission price. The proceeds go to charity--or so they say.

In yet another heartbreaking loss, the baseball team (7-4) fell to UNC-Wilmington (4-6) Wednesday afternoon.

It seemed like Clemson all over again. With 1:42 left in the first half, Monique Currie rebounded a missed Wolfpack three-pointer and sent the ball down the court to Alana Beard. She drove to the basket with defenders on her, but without even a glance tossed the ball to the trailing Brittany Hunter for an easy two points. With yet another spectacular play, the women's basketball team (24-3, 15-1 ACC) went on to beat N.C. State (16-13, 8-8) 90-57 in the last game of the regular season last night. With the ACC and NCAA Tournaments looming ahead, Duke is hitting its peak right on time.

With about four minutes left in the first half, Vicki Krapohl sank her second three-pointer of the night off a pass from fellow senior Iciss Tillis. On the subsequent possession, Alana Beard stole the ball from Clemson and ran it down the court. With Lady Tigers on her tail, Beard threw a behind-the-back pass into the hands of Tillis, who laid it up to put Duke ahead by 22. These phenomenal plays were certainly indicative of senior night in Cameron Indoor Stadium Friday, as Duke crushed Clemson by 57 points.
