The Duke Women lost to Maryland last evening, ending an impressive win streak on the Terp's home court. The Blue Devils made several comeback attempts but came up short in the end. They will learn from the experience and now ready themselves for N.C. State this Sunday at 1:00 in Cameron. Of course, Lindsey Harding will have her jersey retired during the game.
The Blue Devil Weekly tabbed the return of the Men's Lacrosse team the top story of 2007. But what were their other choices for the other top stories in Duke Athletics? And do you agree with the pecking order? Go here to find out!
Duke travels to Florida State to take on a supposedly tired team. The Noles are coming off a heart breaking loss to Clemson, but I do not buy them being tired when Duke shows up. FSU is more than capable of springing the upset and are especially dangerous at home. They demolished Florida earlier this season and know a win over Duke would go a long ways for a bid to the NCAA.
Duke is expecting the return of Brian Zoubek in the coming days. It's no secret that the seven footer will be one of the keys to the Blue Devils success.
Don't waste your time on Joe Alleva going or talking with Miami. Instead, focus on what he is really doing and that is attempting to gain approval for some changes with his strategic plan for Duke Athletics.
