Tennessee contest sold out
In what may be a matchup of the nation's top two teams, the Jan. 23 meeting between Duke and Tennessee has sold all available tickets.
It is the third time that the 9,314-seat Cameron Indoor Stadium has sold out for a women's game and the first time since the Lady Vols last visited in 2004.
Limited tickets are still available for the game against North Carolina Jan. 29. The Tar Heels beat the Blue Devils in each of the teams' three meetings last year.

Mike Jeffries, who was the 1983 national player of the year as a Blue Devil, was named the men's soccer team's associate head coach.

He left his post as head coach at the University of the Incarnate World to accept the position.
Jeffries fills the vacancy left by Mike Jacobs, who left Duke to become the head coach at Evansville.
