Duke found itself blown off course Friday as it fell 3-2 to Grand Canyon in its first non-conference regular-season loss since 2021. But in Koskinen Stadium Sunday, the Blue Devils trampled Division-III Averett, allowing just one goal from the Cougars while scoring 14 to tie their program record set in 1994 for most in a single game.
Duke volleyball started off its regular season with a hard-fought 3-2 victory against a punchy Colgate team coming off a NCAA tournament appearance.

As fall sports ramp up, several Blue Devil alumni are hard at work in the professional leagues. The Blue Zone examines some former Duke players performing at the highest levels of the pro game.
Duke defeated William and Mary and UMass Lowell to open its season 2-0. Head coach Pam Bustin won her 163rd contest, the most in Blue Devil history.
Bustin’s squad has the potential to do something special this season, but the question remains whether they can break through and takedown teams like Northwestern and North Carolina. With plenty of talent and strong chemistry, the 2024 season should be filled with plenty of excitement.
In its season opener against Elon, Duke football came out with a 26-3 win. The Blue Zone is here to break down the victory with three key takeaways, stats and a look ahead.
Throughout the offseason, Diaz and defensive coordinator Jonathan Patke emphasized that the defense would play with constant energy and aggression, always looking to create negative plays that change the game. This mentality worked wonders Friday, as the Phoenix could not respond to the constant barrage Duke sent their way.
The Blue Devils walked out of Wallace Wade Stadium with an 26-3 win against the Phoenix, opening the season 1-0 and setting a high standard to start the 2024 campaign.

Duke football enters its 2024 season markedly changed from last year. Defensive-minded head coach Manny Diaz looks to put his experience from Miami and Penn State into practice, and former SMU offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer hopes to give the Duke offense a new dimension with his fast-paced scheme.
With a roster of 18 and seven newcomers — including four freshmen and three graduate transfers — the focus of the Blue Devils leading up to the season has been team-building and integration. And with a stacked nonconference schedule and a strong ACC lineup, the pressure is on for Duke to perform.
The 2024 season commences for Duke football Friday against Elon, and The Chronicle is here with an overview, stats to watch, x-factors and keys to the game.
Before every season, The Chronicle's football beats share our predictions for how the Blue Devils will fare. With a new head coach, a challenging ACC schedule and plenty of roster turnover, the 2024 season could have plenty of ups and downs. We share our record predictions, offensive and defensive MVPs and more.
With ESPN and Bowden’s Florida State as Diaz’s first two employers, the young professional understood valuable lessons about attention to detail and what it takes to be great at the highest level, a key lesson for Diaz when he was “young and very malleable.”
The Blue Devils took on San Diego Thursday and UC San Diego Sunday; they tied the first match 2-2 and won the second 3-2 thanks to sophomore Ulfur Bjornsson's hat trick.
With the 2024 season coming up fast, The Chronicle is breaking down each major position group on the Duke roster: specialists, defensive backs, linebackers, running backs, defensive line, offensive line, receivers and quarterbacks. Last up are the quarterbacks.
There’s a reason Diaz wanted to make sure Feeley would stay when the new head coach took the job at Duke. It’s the same reason players constantly mention him when talking about their personal growth, and it’s a major part of the program’s transformation over the last two years. Feeley is the glue, the engine, the heart and the soul of Duke football.
Brewer looks to boost the Blue Devils’ hopes in 2024 with his form of play-calling: the tempo offense. This aggressive style revolves around the play clock. In this offense, plays are often run almost immediately after the clock begins, skipping the huddle and running straight up to the line of scrimmage. Not only does the tempo offense force a quick defensive response, it also disorients and even exhausts opposing defenses.
