When the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced its most recent poll Monday, the No. 11 Blue Devils were yet again higher in the rankings then they were in the preceding week.
After finishing with a 2-1 record-including 3-0 sweeps of Mercer and Cal State-Northridge-at the USC Classic last weekend in Los Angeles, Duke rose three spots.
At No. 11, the Blue Devils have their highest ranking in program history and are also the third-best team on the East Coast, behind No. 3 Penn State and No. 6 Florida.
Duke travels to Lincoln Friday to take on top-ranked Nebraska in the Nebraska Players Challenge. The Blue Devils will also face either New Mexico State or Louisville Saturday-and both of those teams have been ranked in the top 25 this season.
