Men’s Lacrosse Announces Schedule

The Blue Devils released their 2010 schedule Tuesday, and that calendar includes games against nine of last year’s top 25 teams.

The schedule counts six road games against a series of marquee opponents, among them a contest with Georgetown in Washington, D.C. and another against Harvard in Boston. Duke will also take on Bucknell, which is located in Pennsylvania, at a neutral site in Atlanta.

The home schedule is highlighted by visits from Notre Dame, one of the surprises of last season, and rival North Carolina. In its other two ACC games, Duke plays Maryland at the Baltimore Ravens’ M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Md. and Virginia in Charlottesville, Va.

Four of the Blue Devils’ games will be broadcast nationally on ESPNU.

Duke reached the National Semifinals last season before losing to Syracuse, the eventual national champion.

Gummersall honored

Duke women’s soccer player KayAnne Gummersall was named the ACC Co-Player of the Week for her excellent performance in the Blue Devils’ 4-1 win over then-No. 15 Virginia Tech Sunday.

Gummersall, a senior forward, scored a hat trick to lead Duke to victory against the Hokies.

She was also named to the Soccer America National Team of the Week for her three-goal effort.
