Teammates expect her to average double figures for the first time in her collegiate career.

Rarely has Duke shortstop Vaughn Schill been told he wasn't good enough. He was New Jersey's high school player of the year in 1996.

Throw Duke's fourth-string quarterback, a swarming Florida State defense and the high-octane Seminole offense into the same mix, and what results is a recipe for disaster.
After impressive showings in the Pembroke Invitational, the Yale meet and a two-week preparation period, the men's cross country team thought it was ready to take off this weekend in South Bend, Ind. Instead, the Blue Devils were handed a reality check at the Notre Dame Invitational, dropping three places from last year's third-place finish and winding up sixth with 190 points.
Though Duke's cross-country teams sent their B teams to the Maryland Invitational this weekend, the runners turned in some grade A performances at College Park.
