As spring sports are underway, The Chronicle is back with our breakdown of every sport, including key rules, terminology, tournament formats and more. Here is our softball edition.
The 14th-ranked Blue Devils came back from Friday's 9-0 loss to No. 2 Florida with an 8-1 victory over the Gators Sunday. In between, Duke took care of Binghamton and Providence.
Seemingly armed with a year’s worth of frustration after ducking out of the Women’s College World Series, Duke logged a whopping 15 unanswered runs between games against Penn State and No. 24 Mississippi State.
Now that the Blue Devils have proved just how good they can be, the bar goes up. Last season’s success proved that Duke can play with the big dogs; this year will be all about proving that 2024’s success was not a one-off.
The 2024 season didn’t stray from form, as the Blue Devils scored their way to a No. 2 national ranking right before losing in the ACC quarterfinal and, subsequently, the second round of the Big Dance.
The Blue Devils embodied this philosophy against Army Friday, making full use of an overwhelming size advantage to dictate the pace of play. By game’s end, the Blue Devils had amassed 18 more rebounds than their opponents with 50 total, 17 of which were on the offensive end.
No. 7 Duke men’s basketball competed in the second game of its season in Cameron Indoor Stadium against Army. After 20 minutes of play, the home team has a commanding 43-20 lead.
It was a 5-0 victory for the tenth-ranked Blue Devils Tuesday night as they cruised past Queens in Koskinen Stadium, a scoreline emblematic of the team’s utter dominance on both ends of the ball.
Halfway through, the Blue Devils were knotted with Howard at zero. By game’s end, it was 10-0 Duke.
With the fall sports season underway, The Chronicle is here with a breakdown of every sport, including key rules, terminology, tournament formats and more. Here is information on both men's and women's soccer.
