After averaging 5.42 digs last week, freshman libero Ali McCurdy was named ACC Volleyball Freshman of the Week, helping Duke obtain its 3-1 record over the past week.
McCurdy helped Duke (8-2) post 3-0 sweeps over Charlotte, Delaware and N.C. Central with 65 digs in 12 sets. She also set the school record for the most digs in a three-game match under the NCAA's 25-point scoring format against Delaware.
The 5-foot-7 freshman was also named to the all-tournament team during the Duke Invitational and helped the Blue Devils win eight straight games before falling to No. 12 Minnesota Saturday.
Duke opens conference play Friday in Cameron Indoor Stadium against Wake Forest at 7 p.m.
