No. 16 Duke softball recoups from sweep with dominant 10-0 victory over Elon

After being swept by No. 3 South Carolina in three games, head coach Marissa Young’s squad bounced back with force — breezing past Elon in a 10-0, run-rule victory. The Blue Devils’ bats needed zero time to warm up, as second baseman Aminah Vega got things started by lacing a lead-off double into the left-center gap. The very next at bat, shortstop Ana Gold stung a sharp line drive up the middle to score Vega: 1-0 Duke.

Second-chance points and fast-break scoring define No. 2 Duke men's basketball's win against Wake Forest

Duke scored 17 more fast-break points compared to the Demon Deacons’ six, giving it an offensive edge that metastasized into an enormous lead. When the Blue Devils narrowly escaped Winston Salem, N.C., nearly a month ago, the scene looked very different: Duke tallied just two fast-break points to Wake Forest’s 12. This time around, the home squad played with a faster tempo to beat its opponents in transition, capitalizing on opportunities for quick buckets.

The calculated ambush on Zelenskyy that shook the world

What we are now witnessing is a fundamental realignment in American foreign policy for the worse. For the United States to suddenly sympathize with Vladimir Putin and authoritarianism against reliable European allies and democratically-elected governments is a sad moment for our country which everyone, regardless of political ideology, ought to recognize.

‘When I Say Africa’: An eye opener

“When I Say Africa” is an eye-opener, as evidenced by the myriad of conversations between audience members and Mathers post-viewing. When going to Africa to “help,” maybe Duke students and faculty should support local organizations that intimately know the areas they are trying to help rather than focus on issues Duke believes are problems.

No. 11 Duke women's basketball records stifling defensive performance against nation's top offense

It didn’t matter that the Blue Devil offense never really got into a rhythm until the fourth quarter, or that Duke shot 20% from beyond the arc. Lawson’s defense refused to let the Seminoles pull ahead. The Blue Devils outrebounded their Sunshine State foes 51-35, ensuring that head coach Brooke Wyckoff’s team would never build a margin larger than four points.
