Defense keys comeback in Virginia

Social life unaffected by nature of calls by Tony Shan The Chronicle

Student emergency medical technicians in Duke Emergency Medical Services handle serious cases of binge drinking while balancing their social and professional lives. Despite responding to numerous alcoholrelated calls, members of the EMS squad said that their personal opinions on Duke’s drinking scene have not changed. Approximately 17 percent of the calls that Duke EMS receives are related to alcohol, mostly occurring at the end of the week, said Krishan Sivaraj, operations officer of Duke EMS. Squad members, however, must maintain professional behavior when providing care. “Honestly, it is what it is, it’s Duke culture—we drink,” Sivaraj, a junior, said. T.J. Breshears, a second year graduate student in the Divinity School and equipment officer for Duke EMS, noted that although experiences with certain patients have shed light on the dangers of binge drinking, squad members are still normal students that make their own decisions. “It’s a cautionary tale to us, but it doesn’t mean that Duke EMS has sworn off alcohol,” Breshears said. For Sivaraj, the fact that EMS provides only medical attention and is uninvolved in repercussions from law enforcement helps him keep his work experiences from encroaching on his social life too much. “People shouldn’t be afraid of us,” he said. “We’re not the cops, we’re here to help.” See ems, page 8

Duke’s defense clamped down in the second half as the Blue Devils picked up their first ACC victory. by Danielle Lazarus The Chronicle

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Duke’s 35-22 comeback win against Virginia was a tale of two defenses. In five of their seven games so far this season, the Blue DUKE 35 Devils have surmore UVA 22 rendered points in the first half than the second half. Duke fared no

differently against Virginia, allowing the Cavaliers to score 22 in the first before shutting them out in the second. “Some guys, you could see their heads were going down a little bit,” redshirt senior defensive end Kenny Anunike said. “But then you had senior leaders… walking around and saying, ‘You know who we are and you know what we do.’ We’ve practiced, we are Duke and we finish games and that’s exactly what we decided

[to do].” Virginia ran all over the Blue Devils during the first 30 minutes, accumulating 280 yards of offense, including 187 passing yards. Quarterback David Watford went 13-for-23 in the air, continuously finding holes in Duke’s defense—most notably, his 13-yard completion to a wideopen Kevin Parks for a touchdown.

North Carolina cities among poorest in America, survey finds by Aleena Karediya The Chronicle

On a new list of the country’s top-ten poorest cities, three are in North Carolina. The three cities on this list are Lumberton, Roanoke Rapids and Forest City, which have average incomes of $28,293, $29,930 and $32,836, respectively, according to a Yahoo! Homes analysis of the 2012 American Community Survey. Economics professor Thomas Nechyba said these values may seem significant and of concern, but they only represent small, rural areas of North Carolina, not the state as a whole. “I don’t think you can extrapolate much from three tiny cities in North Carolina,” he said.

The ACS releases yearly statistics on the population of the United States such as age, race, location and income. These statistics, when sorted between different metropolitan and micropolitan areas, give insight into the wealth distribution of the country. Representatives of the ACS, which is part of the U.S. Census Bureau, were not available for comment in time for publication due to the government shutdown. According to the data, the median U.S. household income in 2012 was $51,371. The 10 poorest cities are all considerably under this value and do not exceed an average income of $33,000. In addition, the low-income areas show similar geographical makeup. Nine out of 10 of the cities, for

example, are from the South—the outlier being Gallup, N.M.—and six out of 10 have populations of fewer than 100,000. People of Lumberton—the first poorest city—do not feel like they are in one of the poorest cities in the country, said Susan Walker, owner of Candy Sue’s Downtown and member of the Lumberton Chamber of Commerce board of directors. “The business that I run is doing just as well as it’s always been doing,” Walker said. “In a location such as ours, excessive money isn’t really necessary. There are no signs of extreme poverty like the report would have you believe. Comfortable lifestyles are very prevalent in our small rural town.” Nechyba questioned the methods used

to compile this list, saying that some important factors were left out of the process. “All of these cities, for instance, are in low cost-of-living areas – but no adjustment is made to account for that,” he noted. “[Fifty-thousand dollars] means a lot more in rural North Carolina than it does in New York City – but these kinds of lists completely ignore that.” Josh Ellis, deputy secretary for communications and external affairs at the North Carolina Department of Commerce, also noted that several factors need to be considered when comparing incomes of different areas.

Shutdown impacts Durham agencies and services When the federal government shut down as a result of Congress’ failure to pass a budget by its Oct. 1 deadline, agencies around the country were forced to close their doors and furlough their employees until their funding was appropriated more than two weeks later. The Chronicle’s Azeb Yirga and Georgia Parke looked into the consequences of the shutdown in local agencies in Durham and the Triangle Area as the state and country responded to a government shutdown for the first time in 17 years. Food inspection

Economic growth

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and inspection Service did not furlough its inspectors, said Deputy Assistant Administrator Aaron lavallee. “our inspectors are still on the job and have been since day one,” he said. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration continued meat inspections but put a hiatus on many of its routine safety inspections, he added. lavallee noted that some FSiS employees doing work related to the health of the public were allowed to continue work, but many administrative offices were working at reduced capacity and, had the shutdown continued, most would have been furloughed altogether.

Veterans affairs Healthcare continued at all veterans’ medical centers across the country. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced that all health services for veterans had advance appropriations to keep them funded. Other programs, such as vocational rehabilitation and education, would have eventually run out of funding if the shutdown had continued. “We’re still taking care of people and anything beyond,” said Jeff Milton, a public affairs officer at the Durham VA Medical Center. “It’s business as usual.”

Health and human services The n.C. Department of health and human resources furloughed 337 employees during the shutdown. The agency announced on oct. 8 that it would discontinue issuing benefits through the Special Supplemental nutrition Program for Women, infants and Children. The program was reinstated three days later, with funds guaranteed until the end of october using extra funds from the previous year.

“it’s not going to slow [economic progress], but it’s certainly not going to contribute to pushing forward,” said Ted Conner, vice president of economic development and community sustainability for the Durham Chamber of Commerce. he emphasized the effects on workers going without pay for multiple weeks at the individual level. Almost 3,000 government employees in Durham were furloughed as a result of the shutdown. “not everybody carries a lot of savings,” Conner said. “on a human scale it’s a pretty big difference.”

Scientific research The national institute of environmental health Sciences, based in Durham, closed and furloughed approximately 1,250 employees, said Christine Bruske Flowers, director of the office of communications and public liaison for the niehS. “[All studies were suspended] except for those operations essential to ensuring safety, security and the protection of government property,” she said.

Hindu and Jewish students Eid festival-goers pack connect over food and faith lunches for charity

It is a custom to sacrifice a lamb for Eid Al Adha in memory of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son in the name of Allah and Allah’s subsequent mercy in permitting him to sacrifice a lamb instead, said Ahmed Al Shareef, senior and president of MSA in his introduction of the event. “We made sandwiches for the Urban Ministry which is the equivalent of sacrificing a lamb and giving a third to those in need,” said freshman Sama Naqeeb, a member of MSA. For the service activity, guests at the festival took turns making sandwiches and bagging baby carrots in an assembly line. On the day of Eid al-Adha—which was

by Sasha Zients The Chronicle

To observe Eid Al-Adha, the Muslim Student Association made 100 sandwiches for Urban Ministries Saturday afternoon. The MSA hosted a celebration on the back lawn of West Duke complete with food and performances by various members of the group. The festival of Eid Al Adha—described by members of the MSA as the festival of sacrifice—was also an opportunity for a service activity. In lieu of the traditional lamb sacrifice, MSA made bagged meals for Urban Ministries—a nonprofit organization that provides food, shelter and clothing to impoverished neighborhoods and the homeless.

Students from HSA and JSU gathered over traditional food and discussed their faiths.

by Rachel Chason The Chronicle

Students from the Jewish Student Union and the Hindu Students Association talked religion over latkes and raita Sunday. The kitchen in the Duke Chapel basement filled with students flipping potato latkes and stirring together spices and yogurt to create raita. Twenty students gathered to celebrate the traditional Jewish and Hindu dishes and engage in a conversation about the influence of food on the two faiths. “Last year, we had our first interfaith discussion moderated by Dean [Laurie] kakuro_397B.txt Patton, who describes herself as intellec-

tually Hindu, but Jewish by faith,” said sophomore Vinay Nagaraj, the publicity chair for HSA. “This year, we wanted to continue the dialogue, but this time base it around the more specific topic of food.” Latkes are fried potato cakes that are usually cooked close to Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish Festival of Lights. Raita is a traditional Indian dish of yogurt and spices. Patton was unable to attend the event, so her husband Shalom Goldman, a professor of religion and Middle Eastern studies, moderated the talk. “This sort of event is important because

cultural commitments and rape Duke students love tiers. We tier practically everything: universities by their rankings; social groups by popularity; jobs and internships by prestige and, of course, each other’s academic performance as we struggle to achieve high GPAs, Latin Honors and other accolades. But this tendency to tier is linked to dangerous behavior. Research shows that individuals with a hierarchical, as opposed to egalitarian, worldview are less likely to identify acquaintance rape as true rape. The study, conducted by Dan Kahan—Elizabeth K. Dollard Professor of Law and professor of psychology—showed that study subjects who were more committed to hierarchical forms of authority and social organization were more likely to favor acquitting a man who admitted to having sex with a woman despite her repeatedly saying “no.” These findings have alarming implications for the Duke community, which struggles with sexual violence. According to the Greek Culture Initiative, 66 percent of Duke undergraduates, mostly women, believe sexual assault is a problem at the University. Overall, 31 percent of Duke women have experienced unwanted sexual contact from another Duke student, a number higher than the national college average of 25 percent. Gender violence is a complex phenomenon with numerous and

overlapping causes. The Yale study shows, however, that cultural beliefs are more important than other factors, including gender, in determining attitudes about acquaintance rape. In the study, men and women were equally likely to acquit an acquaintance rapist, and women committed to hierarchical social

Editorial organization were among those most likely to acquit. Legal definitions also mattered less than culture. The definitions of rape supplied to subjects had much less influence than their cultural predispositions. We do not suggest that activists combating gender violence should abandon gender-specific programming or discussions about defining rape. Gender and rape definitions remain crucial to the issue of gender violence. We draw special attention, however, to the deep and intractable problem of cultural hierarchies. The very strong correlation between hierarchical thinking and the (mis)interpretation of rape demands that we confront stratification in Duke’s social culture. Dismantling hierarchies is difficult, but we can begin by highlighting them. Take Greek life, for instance. Previously, sororities

Having a few Nobel laureates on faculty will also make the university more appealing in the eyes of prospective undergraduate students who realize that they will reap the benefits of studying under the aegis of great scientists.

othing feels better than excluding people. After all, they’re not you. Why should they get to join in? I personally know how good it feels to sit at the cool kids’ table in elementary school. No one could sit with you unless they were on your level, or they had a cool mom who packed them extra Lunchables. But it seems the concept of exclusivity is running rampant lately with everyone trying to make their own select groups. Exclusion is no new trend for Dukebags and Dukestitutes. When you combine a plethora of kids who have always been the best of their high schools into one area, they need some way to make themselves feel better. Rather than thrive on the fact that they now attend a diverse institution full of students with different talents, experiences and world views, Dukies find it easier to once again make themselves big fishes in small ponds. Except this time, since everyone is a big fish, the only way to make yourself important is to make the pond even smaller. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Duke, the douchiest aquarium in the free world. Besides the already established dominant groups of athletes, greeks and Asians who know they are smarter than you, new group identities and affiliations are springing up all over Duke. Since membership everywhere is now becoming a necessity, here are a couple new memberships springing up in the area that offer exclusive benefits to only the best of the best. 1. Shooters “High Rollers” Club Any old scrub can buy himself a $1 Shooters membership. While this prestigious position boasts privileges such as allowing one to enter the same old dingy bar and pay the old entrance fee, at the end of the day you are still one of many plebes subjected to actually going inside. There’s no exclusivity, no special benefits and you still suffer the same herpes-ridden debauchery that plagues the dance floor. Why not take your Shooters experience to the next level? With the new Shooters High Rollers Club, you can set yourself apart from the rest of the unwashed masses and gain exclusive VIP access. Benefits include automatic cutting to the front of the cage line, 50 percent more neglect from bouncers judging your fake ID and a pack of moist towelettes upon entrance to keep yourself healthy and germ-free once inside. The only drawbacks of this elite membership are the $1000 executive fee, the expected brand loyalty and the accompanying shame of being a Shooters High Roller. Make every Wednesday and Saturday a journey by joining the Shooters High Rollers Club. 2. LGBTQ Fab-Life Experience So you’re out. But are you in? Come out of the closet and into the high life with the new LGBTQ Fab-Life Experience. No longer will you be forced to wallow on the same level as all the other alternative lifestyle wannabees. For a small annual payment, you can move up socially and politically in the LGBTQ world and upgrade to a new class of alternative highbrow living,

were denied on-campus housing, which gave them less social capital than fraternities. Although this inequity was corrected, sororities still cannot host parties with alcohol—a rule dictated by the National Panhellenic Council, not the University—and, as a result of this and other factors, women’s social groups remain persistently less powerful than male groups. Fraternity formals exemplify this inequity. Women who attend off-campus overnight date functions often find themselves confronting uncomfortable social and economic pressures; in many cases, the man pays for the entire affair, which can cause women to feel obligated to reciprocate sexually. Hierarchies are deep and ubiquitous. Duke students develop powerful cultural beliefs about who is better than whom and why, and these comparisons seep into our views on sex, power, rights and relationships. We cannot dissolve those beliefs at the touch of a button. We can begin to challenge them, however, by asking ourselves whether and to what extent we participate in and endorse hierarchical social structures. Only by asking tough questions about our assumptions and beliefs can we determine what social changes are required to achieve more, and much needed, equity in gender relations on campus. This is the first in a two part series on gender violence.

Separate yourself and show that you are an elite inclusionist and join Common Ground today, where the students are uncommonly tolerant. Actively work on campus to bring different races and cultures of students together while simultaneously accomplishing nothing at all. Show that you accept others, more than anyone has ever accepted anyone ever, and that you are a better person than your peers because of it. As a self-purported inclusive and accepting group that actually requires applications, Common Ground truly thrives on the leading cusp of selectivity. They take their inclusivity so aggressively that they physically leave campus in order to learn more about inclusiveness at Duke. Membership to Duke Common Ground provides exclusive benefits such as being allowed to protest parties you weren’t invited to, guilt-free complaining about the xenophobic culture of Duke and the inherent smugness that fuels the two formers. And, for the low added price of sharing YOUR “personal experience”—as long as it’s a personal experience of a heart-wrenching trauma from which you’ve never recovered—you can gain the exclusively inclusive elite membership! This membership makes everyone in the group love you without knowing anything about you except that you’re gay or you got raped one time. Bonus points are added if you can top the experience of someone else by claiming “double discrimination.” As a gay, black, transgender woman myself, let me give you this advice: Don’t mess around with lesser acceptance of others. Become uncommonly accepting today. Don’t let these VIP memberships and more devour all of Duke culture into a swirling torrent of whoknows-who without getting YOUR share. Remember, at school it is not about the grades you make, but rather the hands you shake. Forget the plebeians and join one of these highly prestigious organizations today, or be left a big fish without a pond. Mean Boy happens to be straight, but still fools many a pocket gaydar due to his quaff hair and muscular-but-gentle physique.

one day very soon

s my time here is drawing to a close, I am beginning to see just how much Durham has to offer Duke. And this is embarrassing. It’s embarrassing because fresh out of high school, Duke freshman-me was convinced that I had so much to offer. I could not possibly imagine what a dump like Durham might offer me. I chose Duke in spite of the dirty D. Very often, Duke becomes all-absorbing—

Gracie Willert introspeculative one of the more striking catch-22s of higher education. And, just as often, alumni express this wonderful free feeling that comes with finally moving outside the Duke bubble. Work ends at five and vacation means true respite. I yearn for this already. I want an escape from the bubble and the opportunity to put what Duke has given me to the test. Last summer in Muhuru Bay, Kenya, my eyes were opened to the gaping holes in my education and to the ways in which my overemphasis on schoolwork had failed me. Admittedly, this was my first insight into what Mark Twain meant by: “I never let my schooling interfere with my education.” I wish I could say the same. So my approach to senior year has been a move away from forward thinking and a reframing of my academics, my social life, Durham and Duke as an experience of value even when I don’t do as well as I want or a night doesn’t unfold as I’d hoped. This is what education really means: the sum total of classes and of our education in between. True broadening of education means expansion beyond exams, lectures and essays. It means lifting our noses from our books, tearing our eyes away from our laptops, and putting a little more emphasis on being rather than perpetual doing. Being students and being Dukies, yes. But also being Durhamites, being curious explorers, being interactive citizens. I take issue with the creation of programs designed as optional supplements to our education. We are paying $50,000 a year just to have the opportunity to apply for and engage in out-ofclassroom experiences? It’s like we are adding arteries to a broken heart or robust limbs to a crippled body or filler to an essay. These efforts are modestly useful. They’ll keep your heart pumping one more day. They’ll improve your mobility. They’ll get you to that 850-

word limit. But the true root problem is painted over. In so many classes, I have gorged my head with knowledge, coming out full but unfulfilled. In so many ways, I had filled my social life with small talk, my experiences with Perkins and my weekends with drunken nights among almost strangers, and I, then, marveled at my emptiness. I marveled until I decided to take my education into my own hands. I wish I’d known sooner the limits of institution-based learning. More than that, I wish Duke could try a little harder to offer synergy between theory and practice. I know how to think, but struggle with how to be. Painting over with programs like DukeEngage, service-learning classes and Duke Culture Initiative is like the tacky cobblestone wallpaper plastered on the wooden walls surrounding current construction. The rose-colored palette of choice may change year to year, but the void will remain. It will remain because it is easily hidden behind a cobblestone facade and because real interdisciplinarity and experience-based learning is expensive. It will continue unless, that is, students and donors demand more from an elite education. It will continue unless, that is, we have more students like Jacob Tobia and more donors like the Bass Family. Rather than spending thousands of dollars planting bushes outside of Wilson Recreation Center only to uproot them a year or so later. Rather than pouring money into DKU and parties costing tens of thousands of dollars, design classes to be more experiential and relevant to the world outside. It’s no wonder the Board of Trustees and President Brodhead have redirected DukeOpen’s efforts at public disclosure of how our endowment is being invested. Public disclosure of such things might very well inspire outrage and the very change that Duke “can’t” afford. We leave Duke, our minds seasoned to tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems— critically and theoretically. And yet, this ongoing undue curricular emphasis on the theories of how things ought to work obscures the realities of unforeseen complications and of compromise. Hundred-page readings, hours spent staring at harsh black ink against bright white pages and lecture after lecture watching PowerPoint slides shelter us from the world we are expected to understand and change one day very soon.

Unforgettable lessons

f you Google “Oscar Hijuelos,” you will find articles that praise him for being a pioneer of Latino immigration writing. While Oscar’s writing is amazing and should be admired for its beauty and veracity, it is his teaching for which I am truly grateful. Oscar won a Pulitzer Prize, had a book made into a movie and was an internationally renowned writer, and yet he chose to spend the Spring semester at Duke every year painstakingly reading every student’s work and writing

Addison Corriher guest column illegible comments beside each paragraph. I never got the chance to ask Oscar why he decided to teach at Duke, but I would imagine that the answer goes something like this: He wanted to spread the passion for writing that burned in him—to help give structure to the students who, like him, have amazing stories to tell. Oscar loved writing, and he wanted to share that with others. His most amazing talent is that which is present in all great teachers; he had the ability not only to teach us how to write, but also to teach us to want to continually learn how to write— he awoke our minds to a new, exciting passion. We will always reach for more. On my first day of class with Oscar, I found a bumbling, disorganized man at the head of the table dumping out the contents of his leather bag—mouth spray, some pens, several library books and a disorganized stack of papers. He chuckled and said something like, “Holy Cow! This is a mess. Let’s all just go home. We all have spring fever anyway.” His somewhat awkward behavior and words drew nervous laughter from the students. By the end of my first semester with Oscar, his quirky jokes were just one element of his class that I learned to love. You see, despite his playfulness, Oscar was a commander of the English language and was passionate about the difference between good and bad writing. Oscar often would complain about the headaches, which were caused by the horrendous (popular) novels he was trying to read. He instilled, some would say hammered, this critical writing and reading into his students, but his passion for teaching and for his students was always evident. He would take so much time and care with each student’s writing (he jokingly called it tender loving care). Every word, comma, phrase and student mattered to him, and in time they mattered to us. Oscar gave his students tools for life. His lessons about writing will not fade, but instead they will continue through his students. Oscar’s ideas influence even the words that I write today. Each time I write is a conversation with Oscar as I listen to his advice on every word, comma and phrase. So although I knew him for a very short time, I will continue to get to know him every time I write. At the end of my senior year, Oscar wrote a brief note to me in a copy of his memoir. He ended the note by saying, “Don’t make the same knuckle brained mistakes I did.” I always find that line so ironic, because I would love to be a successful writer and professor like Oscar. But the saddest part of writing this article is that it is not going to be covered in Oscar’s red ink. I am not going to hear Oscar’s inquisitive voice asking me why I used the word “love” so many times. Oscar will never look at me and say, “You have to tighten up that sentence in the second paragraph… It is like you are running up hill while smoking a cigarette. You have to be careful with this kind of thing.” But the beautiful thing is that he doesn’t need to, his words are entrenched in my mind—the lessons that he taught me over the years will continue to influence me whether I am writing my own memoir or reading a novel. I will always hear Oscar’s voice in the back of my head… “Watch out for that repetition of structures, sounds and words.” And with the guidance that Oscar has given me for the rest of my life, hopefully I will make some of the same knuckle brained mistakes that he made. Addison Corriher, Trinity ’13, is the former photography editor for Towerview Magazine and a former photographer for The Chronicle.

POOR CITIES from page 1 “The quality of life in these rural towns is not abhorrent,” ellis said. “The income alone cannot be used as an indication of how they’re doing in terms of everyday life. rural areas and metropolitan areas simply cannot be compared on the same scale.”

EMS from page 1 The squad has members who are involved in fraternities, sororities and SlGs, Sivaraj said. When most squad members attend parties, they are just like any other student there, but are expected to take action when things spiral out of control and somebody needs help. “We’re not there to say ‘oh, you can’t this or that,’ but i’ve been at parties where i’ve had to take care of people,” he said. “People look to you because you’re an eMT and have the skills to help them.” in those situations, however, Sivaraj said that it is always better to contact the eMS members who are on call, because the eMT at the party might be intoxicated as well. “i’ve definitely been in that situation before where i’m here at headquarters and another eMT texts me about a situation at a party and says, ‘You should come here, i can’t deal with this right now,’” Sivaraj said. For most calls, Sivaraj noted that he can usually tell which calls are for an intoxicated student based on the information relayed over the radio from DUPD dispatch. “if it’s Friday or Saturday night and we get a call like ‘Giles dorm, 18-year-old patient, conscious, alert and breathing... you can usually guess that it’s probably a student who’s had a little too much to drink,” he said. Although the squad members on call have their guesses as to whether their patient is suffering from excessive alcohol consumption,

Sivaraj noted that certainty is difficult because other medical conditions present with similar symptoms. “There was one time where we responded to a call that came and we all thought that it was some student that had drank too much, but when we got there and tested his blood sugar, it was at 20,” Sivaraj said. “our patients can be diabetic or having a stroke, so we can’t just become desensitized and say, ‘oh, it’s just another drunk Duke kid.’” Squad members had varying opinions on the intoxication calls. “Drunk people can be the most annoying calls that we get,” said senior Ming Wang, an eMS cadet. “They’re never helpful and don’t really cooperate with what we need to do to do our job.” Despite the frustration of working with uncooperative patients, Duke eMS squad members try not to judge, said senior crew chief Jay Srinivasan. “When people call us, it’s because they need our help and we’re there to do everything we can to help them,” he said. “it’s as simple as that.” Sivaraj, said he enjoys some of the alcoholrelated calls. “When we get called to a frat section or something, i usually know some of the guys there and it’s sort of fun,” he said. Sivaraj had a positive outlook on campus drinking culture. he noted that especially after the housing model was put into effect, drinking calls have been geographically concentrated, which has helped eMS respond more quickly and effectively to calls. “A good amount of the calls we get are from Central Campus, and we’re really close by,” he said. “At places like UnC and nC State, it’s much more spread out.” Sivaraj said the University of north Carolina at Chapel hill and north Carolina State University may not have student-led eMS teams because quick emergency responding is

more difficult on a larger campus.

INTERFAITH from page 5 it involves finding a common thread between the two religions, which can spark important dialogue,” said senior rebekah Johnston, vice president of religious life for JSU. During the discussion, students focused on traditions in their respective religions, generalizations that they face and the continued existence of religious intolerance in America. “in the American imagination, smaller religions have a much larger presence than is the reality,” Goldman said, commenting on the “drama of being a minority” in a country where 78.4 percent of the populace identifies as Christian. Students also discussed the intersection and potential conflict between traditional religious practices and modern society. They compared the decision to keep kosher with the choice to eat vegetarian, examining solutions that Jewish and hindu students and their families have adopted. Several students noted that in their families, their mothers tend to emphasize the preservation of faith traditions. Goldman, emphasized the history of partnership the religions share, noting that hinduism is the one faith that has never had a conflict with Judaism. Amol Yadav, fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in biomedical engineering, said he participated in the dialogue due to an interest in how the faiths have worked together in the past. Although most campus religious groups do numerous internal programs, freshman Ashima Chadha noted that interfaith events present a welcome contrast to clashes between religious groups around

the world. “There are so many conflicts revolving around religion, so it is nice to have an event where we can all come together and connect,” she said.

EID from page 5 actually oct. 15—people usually go to the mosque for Morning Prayer, said Shajuti hossain, junior and vice president of MSA. “When i’m home, my family has lots of friends in raleigh—so we usually go to five to seven peoples houses to eat and celebrate,” hossain said. MSA hosts an event—either a banquet or an outdoor festival—for eid al-Adha annually so that students can have a way to observe the festival even though they are away from home, hossain noted. “it is hard celebrating any religious holiday, that would normally be spent with family alone, but this festival reminded me of home by celebrating eid in the same way i normally would,” naqeeb said. The student-run event served food from Almadina Supermarket—a Middle eastern grocery store in raleigh. There were lamb and chicken stews, hummus, pita and baklava. For activities, the MSA got a bouncy slide, a snow cone machine and students could get henna tattoos. The celebration stretched all afternoon and attracted students of different backgrounds. naqeeb emphasized that it is important to remember to give back to the community while celebrating eid al-Adha. “one cannot be caught up in their own celebrating and forget those in need—those unable to celebrate due to extenuating circumstances or financial hardships,” naqeeb wrote in an email Sunday. “Therefore, the celebration of eid requires us to give back.”

FRESCO: That Beautiful Rediscovery An Artist Talk by Youngsun JIN

Fulbright Visiting Professor, Department of Art, Art History + Visual Studies

Wednesday, October 23, 2013, 12:00 -1:00

Room 240, John Hope Franklin Center, 2204 Erwin Road, Durham

This talk investigates the use of fast fasion—cheap chic pedaled by behemoths such as Zara and H&M— by a group of undocumented immigrant women who wear the clothes to labor in New York City’s nail salons. In the wake of Rana Plaza, how can we move forward with a critique of fast fashin that accounts for the diversity of users and uses?

The word “fresco” describes a specific painting technique, of applying pigments ground only in water to freshly applied, still wet plaster. Although fresco is the mother of visual art, it has become today a rarefied genre whose practitioners usually show only moderate interest in contemporary art and art theory. This talk reappraises contemporary fresco through a discussion of historical precedent and influences from other artistic media. Jin will discuss how contemporary fresco extends its boundaries with 3 types of works: site-specific projects; portable frescoes and fresco installations; and fresco sculptures and frescoes in mixed media. JIN Youngsun received her BFA from Seoul National University, her MFA from the Pratt Institute, and her Ph.D. from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts, London.

Blue Devils upset No. 9 Notre Dame

by Ryan Hoerger The ChroniCle

Through 108 minutes Sunday, Duke seemed destined for its second tie in four days, moving even closer to the brink of missing the nCAA tournament. But with time running out in the match and in the season, the Blue Devils capitalized on a freshman mistake. Senior forward laura Weinberg stole the ball and scored DUKE 2 the golden goal ND 1 with less than two minutes remaining in the second overtime period, giving the Blue Devils a much-needed 2-1 win against no. 9 notre Dame at Alumni Stadium in South Bend, ind. “That game aged everybody,” Duke head coach robbie Church said. “Playing our fourth straight road game, playing our second straight overtime game, i’m very proud of our team. We needed these three points badly.” After a sluggish start Thursday at Clemson, Duke (6-6-4, 3-4-3 in the ACC) got off on the right foot against the Fighting irish (9-5-1, 5-4-1). Freshman Toni Payne scored in the 19th minute to give the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead. “That was a great goal and an important goal,” Church said. “it’s always, always important to get that first goal and get a lead.” Weinberg almost added a second goal five minutes later, but the ball glanced off the top of the crossbar. however, Duke’s lead disappeared moments before halftime on a defen-

Fatigue became a major factor in the second half. Church had to juggle his lineup, giving his starters some breathers to try to keep their legs as fresh as possible. he also made an important tactical switch, putting Weinberg up front as more of an attacking forward. Duke survived a scare late in the second half. With 14 minutes remaining, senior forward Mollie Pathman threw the ball in on the irish side of the field, but notre Dame immediately regained

possession. The irish quickly dribbled the ball up the field, leading to a shot that Blue Devil goalie Meghan Thomas stopped. The ball rebounded off Thomas and came back toward an irish attacker, but the Duke defense was able to clear the ball. in the 87th minute, another looping shot made its way toward Thomas, who leaped to deflect it, then was able to corral it behind her before it crossed the goal line. Duke stymied several more notre Dame attacks in the half’s final minute to send the game to overtime tied 1-1. notre Dame had two corner kicks in the final minute of the first overtime period, but came away with nothing to show for it. on the period’s final play, an irish attacker slipped through traffic and rifled a shot, but Thomas turned it away to preserve the tie. The second overtime continued the back-and-forth flow of the game, as the ball changed ends of the pitch quickly. With under two minutes to go, the irish sent a ball back toward freshman goalie Kaela little, and Weinberg ran up to apply pressure. Weinberg and little battled for the ball at the corner of the goalie box, and the Duke forward came away with the ball as the goalie fell to the ground. Facing an unimpeded path to the goal, Weinberg floated the ball into the net to give the Blue Devils the 2-1 victory. “We were a little fortunate, but we’ll See w. soccer, page 8

Duke knocks off Boston College for first ACC win by Jay Sullivan The ChroniCle

The drought has ended. Duke took home its first ACC conference victory of the season Friday night at DUKE 1 newton Campus Field against Boston BC 0 College in a close contest. An early goal by junior midfielder nick Palodichuk was enough for the Blue Devil defense to hold on to a 1-0 victory. “it feels great,” Duke head coach John Kerr said. “We’ve played well in a lot of ACC games this year and come a little bit short. But we were very resilient at Boston College Friday night and deserved the victory in the end.” Palodichuk found the back of the net in the 10th minute of the contest, when Brody huitema hit Tyler McDaniel with a pass and the senior midfielder headed the ball across to Palodichuk, who calmly put the ball beyond eagle goalkeeper Alex Kapp’s reach. The goal was Palodichuk’s third of the season, and just the third goal the Blue Devils have scored in the first half of a game this year. “it was a confidence booster for sure and took the wind out of Boston College’s sails because they were coming at us with a lot of good players coming forward with speed,” Kerr said. “To kind of counteract

that and get an early goal in the game is great for our confidence.” Following Palodichuk’s goal, the eagles (5-4-3, 3-3-2 in the ACC) nearly evened the score multiple times, but Duke’s back line kept Boston College off the scoreboard thanks to three key first-half saves from goalkeeper Alex long. head coach John Kerr noted the importance of going up early especially for this team that has failed to do so much of the season. Duke (5-4-5, 1-3-4) has had four draws in conference play, including the three straight matches leading into Boston College. in all of those contests, the Blue Devils have had opportunities to earn the victory, but have made a crucial mistake in each game. Kerr said the resilience from these matches has helped the team develop maturity in these close matches. “We’ve learned throughout the season in terms of concentrating all the way down to the last whistle, and on Friday night it paid off,” Kerr said. “it was definitely frustrating for all of us because in a few of those games we did deserve victories, but every game in the ACC is hard. if you look at the results over the season, there’s a lot of games that have gone into overtime, a lot of games that ended in a draw, so it’s very tight in our league this year, and every win is precious.”

DAyoU zHUo/ChroniCle File PhoTo

A Nick Palodichuk goal 10 minutes into the game was all the Blue Devils needed to defeat Boston College for their first ACC victory of the season. The most consistent aspect to Duke’s game has been on the defensive end. The Blue Devils have allowed one goal in the past four games combined. After moving sophomore Zach Mathers back into the center back position from the midfield, the defense has continued to improve. “Defensively, he provides stability and he reads the game really well, so for us to

have him and [Sebastien ibeagha] directing the middle back is huge,” Kerr said. “it’s sometimes interesting how teams develop over the course of the season, and i think now we’re doing a good job understanding each others’ strengths and minimizing our weaknesses. We’re excited about the direction we’re headed.” See m. soccer, page 8

Countdown to Craziness kicks off Duke’s season by Ryan Hoerger The ChroniCle

Friday night at Cameron indoor Stadium, it was time for “every Time” again. Students and fans got their first look at the 2013-2014 Duke men’s basketball team at the annual Countdown to Craziness rally. The event included a 30-minute scrimmage between the Blue and White and a dunk contest. redshirt sophomore rodney hood, sophomore rasheed Sulaimon, redshirt sophomore Marshall Plumlee, junior Quinn Cook and senior Josh hairston started for the White team. The Blue team’s starters were freshmen Matt Jones and Jabari Parker, senior Tyler Thornton, sophomore Amile Jefferson and graduate student Andre Dawkins. The freshmen were quick to make an impact. Parker slashed through the lane for his first two points and scored several buckets on offensive rebounds, finishing the first half with 16 points and six rebounds, both of which led the Blue team. he was just as good in the second half, recording eight points and eight rebounds. Jones finished the night with nine points, but the 3-point specialist could not convert from long range all night. he also struggled from the free-throw line, going 3-for-8. Semi ojeleye, subbing in for the White team, made his presence felt immediately with an acrobatic rebound tip-in, and snagged

four more rebounds in 11 minutes of first-half action. Dawkins, who received one of the loudest welcomes from the crowd during player introductions, also wasted no time getting back into the swing of things after sitting out last season. he drilled a 3-pointer on the first possession of the game, but that proved to be his only field goal of the night. Dawkins converted all six of his free-throw opportunities to finish with nine points. hood showcased his versatility, hitting a three-pointer for his first bucket of the night. he also dribbled the ball coast-to-coast for a lay-up, blowing by several Blue defenders on his way to the rim, but was very quiet in the second half, attempting only two shots. Both teams applied token full-court manto-man pressure on made baskets and dead balls in the first half. Cook picked Thornton’s pocket for an easy lay-up and disrupted another pass that led to a pair of ojeleye free throw attempts. After a cold start, the White team clawed back into the contest late in the first half, led by Cook. The Washington, D.C. product hit a 3-pointer from the right wing, then made a floater and two free throws, A layup by ojeleye tied the score at 34-34 with under a minute remaining in the period, before two Dawkins free throws with 0.9 seconds remaining gave the Blue team a 36-34 lead.

Playing an intrasquad scrimmage at Countdown to Craziness could prove to be one of Duke’s toughest matchups of the season. At halftime, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski addressed the crowd, and acknowledged that the team is learning a more up-tempo style of play. “We’ve always tried to adopt the style that fits the team we have,” Krzyzewski said, “it’s a new year, and you have to prove yourself again.” lineups were juggled at the start of the second half. Sulaimon, Plumlee and hairston switched to the Blue team, while Parker, Jefferson and Dawkins joined the White team. The

second half also wiped out the halftime score, starting a new game. The game was consistently interrupted by fouls—the teams combined for 23 fouls in the first half, and 24 more in the second period. Although it was a scrimmage, several Blue Devils were knocked to the court. The highlight play of the second half was a total individual effort on the part of Parker.

Defense spurs Blue Devils to comeback win FOOTBALL

from page 1

tailback ran untouched down the middle of the field, only to front flip into the end zone over a pile of Blue Devils to give Virginia a 20-0 lead. The Cavaliers added a two-point conversion to cushion their lead to 22 points. Duke’s defense also committed sloppy penalties during the first half, including a holding charge on Garett Patterson that negated a momentum-changing interception by Ross Cockrell in the first quarter. Another holding charge hurt the Blue Devils a few minutes later, when the Cavaliers were faced with third-and-goal on Duke’s 6-yard line. The penalty allowed Parks to sneak into the end zone on the next play. “The penalties are always going to hurt,” redshirt senior Ross Cockrell said. “Whenever you go backward, it hurts and it takes away your momentum. This game has a lot of ebbs and flows, and you always want to be moving in the right direction.” The Blue Devils turned the defensive effort around in the second half. Extra pressure on Watford during the third quarter forced him to rely more heavily on his running game, completing only 2-of-4 passes for a meager 30 yards. On the ground, Virginia accumulated -23 rush yards, due in part to a Corbin McCarthy sack on Watford for a loss of 11 yards, and a Watford fumble for a loss of 15. The Cavalier offense was unable to recover in the fourth quarter, closing out the game with only 76 yards of offense in the second half. “I felt like they knew we were going to run the football, so they put people on the line and blitzed a lot,” Parks said. “I felt like they were trying to stop the run and make us throw. We didn’t make enough plays.” Like the Blue Devils in the first half, many of Virginia’s late struggles were because of penalties. After committing only one penalty in the first half, the Cavaliers incurred five in the second half. Duke’s defense put pressure on Virginia, forcing two penalties on the Cavaliers’ opening drive of the third quarter. Although Watford was unable to convert on subsequent third-and-35 and fourth-and-12 situations, the Blue Devils reached the end zone on their next drive off a 6-yard Brandon

Connette run to make the score 22-17. “[The defense] made a few tweaks here and there, but overall it was all about mentality,” Anunike said. “The defensive line got more stout, we had more guys in lock-down coverage, [Watford] is fast… but we just went out there and said we were going to dominate, and it became all mentality so that’s what we did.” After possessing the ball for 19:18 during the first half, the Cavaliers held the ball for just 12:15 in the second half against a stout Duke defense—and those extra seven minutes gave the Blue Devil offense time to reclaim the lead. Connette gave the Blue Devils the advantage for good in the fourth quarter with a 47-yard touchdown pass to tight end Braxton Deaver. Another Deaver touchdown catch seven minutes later, this time from Anthony Boone for 24 yards, sealed the deal for Duke. Second-half defensive redemption has been an all-too-familiar storyline for Duke during the 2013 season. In its most extreme case, the Blue Devils changed their defensive game plan after struggling mightily in the first half against Pittsburgh. Duke’s defense surrendered 37 points and 598 yards of offense to the Panthers in the first half before allowing only 14 points and 130 yards in the final two quarters. Unlike their matchup against the Cavaliers, however, the Blue Devils were unable to secure a victory, falling 58-55. More recently, after leading Troy by two touchdowns during the second quarter, Duke allowed the Trojans to tie the game at 28 less than two minutes into the third quarter. But led by redshirt sophomore safety Jeremy Cash, who registered 14 tackles and added an interception, the Blue Devils held Troy to only a field goal and went on to win 38-31. Cutcliffe emphasized that Duke cannot rely on strong second-half performances to carry it to its second consecutive bowl game, especially with strong opponents to close the season. “Today we played a terrific second half, but are we going to come back tomorrow hungrier and ready to prepare?” he said. “[Winning] is not an accident, it’s work and it’s planning, and [the players] have to participate. Hopefully this grows that. That’s what you want to see from wins like this.”

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—Duke looked oddly comfortable as it roared back from a 22-0 deficit to defeat Virginia on the road. Even when the game seemed out of reach in the second quarter, even when the momentum seemed to be turning against them late in the fourth, the Blue Devils remained grounded—each twist and turn on the road to a historic comeback was a scenario they had encountered before. “It is extremely difficult to go down 22-0 on the road in a conference game and then come back and win by 13 points,” Cutcliffe said. “I think our guys believed we belong.... We earned relevance, and we’ll see what we can build it to from here.” Duke could not move the ball on offense in the early-going, managing just 45 total yards in the first quarter. When Virginia running back Kevin Parks front-flipped his way into the end zone for his third touchdown of the contest with 5:49 remaining in the second period, a Cavalier squad that had allowed 48 points to Ball State at home and missed a last-second field goal to lose to Maryland by a point in its last two games looked as though it could not be stopped. The Blue Devils were on the other end of a similar situation last year, jumping out to a 20-0 first quarter lead against Virginia Tech on the road before allowing 41 unanswered points to fall to the Hokies. “I think the more veteran your team is, they’ve lived a lot of experiences,” Cutcliffe said. “It certainly can help when they have seen it or been a part of it one way or the other.” Even as Duke found its offensive rhythm, taking a 25-22 lead on a 47-yard dump and run from Brandon Connette to Braxton Deaver, both teams had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter. The Blue Devil defense was playing lights out, forcing the Cavaliers into three-and-outs on five consecutive drives and keeping Virginia from picking up a first down from midway through the second quarter until the beginning of the fourth. Back in 2011, Duke played a near-perfect second half defensively, allowing Wake Forest to pick up just 81 yards of offense in the final two quarters. But 66 of those yards came on a Chris Givens touchdown catch in the closing minutes. After the Blue Devils had

stormed back from a 17-0 hole to take a 2317 lead, the Blue Devils left Winston-Salem broken-hearted. Clinging to a three-point lead in Saturday’s game, Virginia picked up its first first down in more than a quarter when Duke committed a holding penalty to give the Cavaliers new life. The Blue Devil defense held strong, forcing Virginia into a third-and-18. Quarterback David Watford’s pass sailed high and appeared to be headed into the arms of safety Corbin McCarthy for a surefire interception, but the ball bounced off McCarthy’s chest and careened into the air, landing safely in the arms of Parks for 21 yards and a first down. Near-turnovers turning fatal nearly haunted Duke last season. With the Blue Devils clinging to a four-point advantage against North Carolina, Ross Cockrell failed to dive on a fumble that was scooped up by the Tar Heels’ Giovani Bernard for a touchdown. That play gave North Carolina a brief lead before Jamison Crowder’s last-second heroics sent Duke to its first bowl game in 18 years. Tipped passes have been especially troublesome for the Blue Devils. Finally poised to stop Georgia Tech’s triple-option attack in their matchup last season, it was a tipped pass that fell into the arms of offensive lineman Ray Beno that ultimately did Duke in, giving the Yellow Jackets an insurmountable swing in momentum. But Parks’ catch did not spell doom for Duke Saturday. Virginia made it to the edge of field goal range on that drive, but Alec Vozenilek pulled a 44-yarder wide left to preserve the Blue Devils’ lead. Deaver caught his second touchdown pass of the evening, this time from Anthony Boone, on Duke’s next drive to seal the victory. “We might get ourselves down, but we’ve prided ourselves, and that was one of our missions, was to finish games in the third and fourth quarter,” said defensive end Kenny Anunike, whose Duke team has defeated Virginia in five of his six collegiate seasons. “Because I don’t care if you’re blowing us out 80-0 in the first half, if we score 81 in the second half we are going to win that game.” Heading back to Virginia Tech next weekend in search of its sixth win of the year—guaranteeing a bowl trip for the second straight year, something that has never happened in See COMEBACK, page 8

No. 5 Florida St. 51, No. 3 Clemson 14 The Seminoles (6-0, 4-0 in the ACC) destroyed the Tigers in Death Valley, vaulting themselves into the national championship race, seizing control of the Atlantic Division and turning one of the biggest games in conference history into a clinic by the road team. In what was hyped as a contest between two Heisman hopefuls at quarterback, redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston outdueled redshirt senior quarterback Tajh Boyd, throwing for 444 yards and three touchdowns and leading four touchdown drives that took less than 100 seconds. Florida State’s defense gave its star quarterback more than enough support, forcing four Tiger turnovers— including two Boyd interceptions. The Seminoles jumped out to a 17-0 lead by capitalizing on two early Tiger turnovers and never looked back; it was the first time ever that the Tigers (6-1, 4-1) allowed an opponent to reach the 50-point mark in Death Valley. The results were reflected when the first BCS standings of the year were released the next day— Florida State came in at No. 2 behind Alabama, and Clemson was ninth. No. 10 Miami 27, North Carolina 23 In one of the most exciting conference games of the season, the Hurricanes (6-0, 2-0 in the ACC) overcame a 10-point deficit early in the fourth quarter and the loss of two key starters to ruin “Zero Dark Thursday” in just the second Thursday night game ever played in Kenan Stadium by the Tar Heels (1-5, 0-3). Star sophomore running back Duke Johnson left the game in the first quarter with a head injury for Miami, who also lost junior wide receiver Philip Dorsett in the second quarter to a knee injury but was able to use a spectacular 67-yard blocked field goal return for a touchdown to keep their deficit manageable in the first half. Despite having four turnovers for the third straight game, this time in the form of four interceptions by senior quarterback Stephen Morris, the Hurricanes were still able to seal the win after two fourth-quarter touchdowns by redshirt sophomore running back Dallas Crawford, who finished with 137 yards on 33 carries in relief of Johnson. The Tar Heels suffered the crushing defeat even though they accumulated 500 yards of offense, including 199 receiving yards by junior tight end Eric Ebron, the most ever by any North Carolina tight end. The Tar Heels now need to win five of their final six games to become bowl eligible. Catch up on more action from this week in ACC football at sports.chronicleblogs.com.

McCurdy sets digs record as Duke picks up 2 wins by Madeline Carrington THE CHRONICLE

Duke bounced back this weekend, registering two more wins after losing for the first time in 11 games last week. In their first matches as a ranked team, the No. 24 Blue Devils swept Georgia Tech in three sets Friday with DUKE 3 scores of 25-21, 25-21 GT 0 and 25-20. After losing the first set 25-21 DUKE 3 to Clemson Sunday, CLEM 1 Duke came back to take the match and won three consecutive sets with scores of 2514, 25-18 and 25-21. With their sixth and seventh ACC victories of the season, the Blue Devils have now surpassed their conference win total from all of last season. “The ACC is a very competitive conference, and to go on the road and get two wins away is a tremendous weekend,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We were very disappointed when we couldn’t capitalize on our win against North Carolina [last Friday] against N.C. State [last Sunday]. I think that this will help [the team] regain confidence, and it’s very encouraging heading into a new week.” Duke (16-3, 71 in the ACC) was able to gain the advantage against Georgia Tech with an efficient offensive effort, posting a hitting percentage of .228 to the Yellow Jacket’s .138. Senior captain Chelsea Cook posted six errorless kills in the first set.

With a game-high 16 digs against the Yellow Jackets, Blue Devil libero Ali McCurdy brought her career total to 2,208 digs, breaking the previous program record of 2,200 all-time digs set by Jenny Shull six years ago. The accomplishment also brings McCurdy up to the third spot on the ACC’s all-time digs list. “I wasn’t focusing on it coming into the match, but we knew I was close,” McCurdy said. “We hadn’t talked much about it be-

fore the match, but we went into Georgia Tech knowing it would be a tough environment. It was a great game [to beat the record in] and then also sweep Georgia Tech at their place the same night.” Both victories were due largely to the Blue Devil’s coordinated offensive attack. Junior setter Maggie Deichmeister posted 35 assists against Georgia Tech (7-13, 1-7) and another 27 against Clemson (10-9, 4-4). Sophomore outside hitter Emily Sklar led

the Georgia Tech match with 10 kills, and in the Clemson match Sklar’s 16 kills were second only to Mo Simmons’ 18 for the Tigers. Simmons leads the ACC with 4. 63 average kills per set, while Sklar comes in second with an average of 3.96 kills per set. Sunday’s game marked the 11th consecutive game in which Sklar had posted 10 or more kills. “This week we talked a lot about preparing to go up against [Simmons],” Sklar said. “She’s still a great hitter, and she still got a lot of kills [today], but I think we did a great job of containing her.” After Duke was able to gain the advantage off of Clemson errors for a 2-0 start in the first set, the Tigers went on an 8-1 run to put them in the lead. Although the Blue Devils were able to come back and tie the set at 15-15, the team was ultimately unable to reign in the dynamic offensive efforts of Simmons and Beta Dumancic, who posted eight and seven kills in the opening set, respectively. “We started out slow [Sunday],” Nagel said. “It took us some time to communicate better and understand the importance of it, and once that started we were able to string along some points and get into a better rhythm. But that didn’t start until late in the first set, and then it was too late to help us there.” But Clemson proved to have peaked early, and after tallying 17 kills in the first set, See VOLLEYBALL, page 8

Blue Devils fall short at Virginia, down Stanford THE CHRONICLE

After falling on the road to ACC foe Virginia, the Blue Devils returned home and salvaged the weekend, shutting out Stanford. A comeback attempt fell short as No. 8 Duke fell to the No. DUKE 3 6 Cavaliers 4-3 Friday UVA 4 night at Turf Field in Charlottesville, Va. STAN 0 The Blue Devils sufDUKE 2 fered their second straight loss to an ACC opponent this season, putting them at .500 in conference play. Duke returned home and rebounded Sunday afternoon with a 2-0 victory against No. 13 Stanford at Jack Katz Stadium. Virginia (15-3, 3-2 in the ACC) dominated play throughout the first half and took a 4-1 lead just after halftime. Senior forward Elly Buckley left her mark during her final home game as a Cavalier, scoring three goals in the contest. “I think we were hoping for a different result on Friday night, and for whatever reason we put ourselves in a hole for the first 20 minutes of that game,” head coach Pam Bustin said. “It made us realize that we have to wake up a bit earlier.” Finding themselves down by three goals after Buckley’s third goal in the 36th minute, the Blue Devils (11-4, 2-2) responded less than three minutes later when sopho-

more midfielder Aileen Johnson hit redshirt senior Devon Gagliardi with a pass, which Gagliardi converted into a goal. Just five minutes later, the Duke attack managed to find the cage again. Senior forward Emmie Le Marchand slid the ball past Virginia goalkeeper Jenny Johnstone for her team-high ninth goal of the season to cut the deficit to one goal. Despite Le Marchand’s goal in the 43rd minute, the Cavalier defense, which only allowed the Blue Devils to take six shots all game, locked down and prevented Duke from scoring the tying goal. “We felt like we had really good offensive pressure, but we just couldn’t put the ball in the cage,” Le Marchand said. “We did not lose heart when we saw that number because we knew that we did have some chances.” Duke notched its fourth shutout this season and only held the Cardinal (11-3) to 10 shots in the game. The Blue Devils added two late goals to win their ninth non-conference game of the season. “We came out on fire and for the first 10 minutes [of today’s game] we were down on their end [of the field] and had our chances there,” Bustin said. “That was our focus coming from a tough loss on Friday to playing a ranked opponent [Sunday].” After going scoreless for the first 58:42 of the match, Duke finally found the cage off a penalty corner. Two Blue Devil defenders took advantage of a rare opportunity to

score. Sophomore defender Amanda Kim knocked the ball in for her first goal of the season. Fellow defender Brenna Rescigno was credited with the assist. “What we have been focusing on is trying to start off quicker and overall, by the end of the first half, we were able to pick [our play] up,” Kim said. “The energy was a lot higher.” Already leading 1-0, the Blue Devils would add to their lead with just 35 seconds left in regulation when junior forward Jessica Buttinger scored off a rebound. The defense did its job on the other end of the field, denying Stanford the chance to get on the scoreboard. Duke also limited the Cardinal to merely four penalty corners on the afternoon. Despite giving up a season-high four goals against Virginia, the Blue Devil defense reasserted itself on Sunday, showing it can shut down the attacks of ranked opponents. “Our individual defense can be a bit better, but our overall defensive organization was better today,” Bustin said. “We stayed together as a unit so even if somebody was eliminated [due to a yellow or green card] there was a cover person there. That has been something we have been focusing on.” With only two ACC games remaining, the Blue Devils are just around the corner from the postseason. Duke will return to ACC play Saturday when it travels to Boston College and looks to get its third conference win against the seventh-ranked Eagles.

right baseline, he spun by three bodies and elevated to dunk the ball on the other side of the basket in heavy traffic. Jefferson did not allow Parker to have the spotlight all to himself. The Philadelphia native, who has added 19 pounds of muscle since arriving in Durham last fall, was active all night long, using his speed to navigate around the basket with a flurry of post moves. He also utilized his newfound strength to bang bodies with Plumlee and Hairston on both ends of the court. He finished the night with 10 first-half points for the Blue team, and six second-half points for the White team. With 7:19 remaining in the second half, Sulaimon made his first field goal of the night, after starting 0-7 from the floor. Following that bucket, the sophomore guard heated up quickly for the Blue team, making three of his next four field goals, including a break-away dunk. The White team appeared to be pulling away in the second half, but Sulaimon’s hot streak brought the Blue squad back into the game. The White ultimately prevailed 33-30. Highlights of the dunk contest included Parker jumping over three young fans, and Ojeleye converting a 360-degree one-handed dunk.

take that right now,” Church said. “We grinded, and we finally got something to go our way.” With the win, Duke sits right at the .500 mark— the cutoff for postseason eligibility—with three games remaining. The Blue Devils are also fighting to make the eight-team ACC tournament field, sitting tied for ninth with 12 points in the logjammed ACC standings. Duke sits just one point behind eighth-place Boston College, and the distance between sixth and 12th place in the conference is just four points. The Blue Devils face N.C. State and Pittsburgh at home this week—two teams with a combined 1-21 conference record—and finish the season at No. 4 North Carolina. There are multiple paths by which the Blue Devils could get into the NCAA tournament, but Church would prefer to take care of business next week. “The pressure’s not off of us,” Church said. “You can’t take anything for granted, but I like how we’re playing and I think we’re in good shape. We’ve got a big week next week.”

101 seasons of Duke football—the Blue Devils will face another hostile road environment, this time against a ranked opponent. Cutcliffe said his team’s ability to rely on the successes and failures of its past is contributing to a more level-headed and confident Duke team. “There’s a difference in believing you can win and starting to think you should win,” Cutcliffe said. “I believe they think they should win, and I believe they went to Virginia believing they should win. That kind of confidence is not false if you’re absolutely committed to preparation and you believe you can go out there and back it up.”

the Tigers were only able to register 28 more in the final three sets of the matchup. In addition, Duke’s defense was able to limit the Tigers to a dismal .091 hitting percentage in the second, third and fourth sets combined. Nagel said two conference wins were worth the price of a punishing weekend road trip. Since the Clemson game was pushed back from to Sunday due to the fanfare around Saturday’s Clemson-Florida State football game, the Blue Devils were on the road for three full days from Thursday to Sunday night. “Clemson and Georgia Tech are always really solid teams,” Nagel said. “These trips are never easy. It feels really good to come back home with two wins.” The Blue Devils will take on two more ACC opponents next at home, No. 19 Florida State on Friday and Miami on Saturday.

Combined with Mathers, Ibeagha, and Rob Dolot on the backline, Long has found a comfortable place anchoring the Duke defensive effort. Against the Eagles, Duke played forward more often lessening the pressure on Long and the back line to deliver in crucial situations. With Long’s fifth clean sheet of the season Friday against Boston College, Duke has now allowed just one goal in its last four contests. “He’s been through this before at South Carolina, so he knows the script, and now he’s getting really comfortable with the back four ahead of him, and the team is defending from the front now,” Kerr said. “Not only our back four, but our whole team is defending higher, and [it has] paid dividends because the back four doesn’t have to work as much and also offensively we’re doing a better job of keeping possession.” With seven points accumulated in conference play, Duke sits at 10th place in the ACC. Should the team hope to reach the eight-team ACC tournament, the Blue Devils have some work to do in their final three conference contests of the season against Wake Forest, Pittsburgh and Clemson. Another win would give the Blue Devils three more points and catapult them into a tie for sixth place with Virginia. “It’s a challenge to finish off the season but we’re excited about the direction and what we’ve accomplished so far this season, and hopefully we can emerge and finish off strong,” Kerr said. “If we win the last three games, we’ll get [into the ACC tournament] and that’s all we’re concentrating on.”
