Duke’s revamped tailgating program is off to a promising start, students said. The new DevilsGate tailgating program—unveiled prior to Duke’s 55-0 victory against North Carolina Central University—aims to spark Duke football’s social scene. Tailgating options had been limited in prior years due to concerns over dangerous behavior, especially after a 14-year-old was found unconscious in a Porta Potty in 2010. Senior Bryan Dinner, primary architect of the new program and DSG vice president for social culture, said the program addresses the safety issue. The revamped program requires that students follow Last Day of Classes alcohol policies and that each tent has two trained party monitors. Despite concern that these restrictions could produce dissatisfaction, student reactions suggest that the party monitors did not disturb the experience. “Personally, I don’t see why we need any monitors, but if there is more safety, I guess more responsible drinking [will happen],” senior Tong Xu said. Several found the presence of party monitors to be a step in the right direction that would create a safer atmosphere. “I think that’s a great thing because it’s always good to have people making sure things are happening responsibly,” said Brian Buhr, a freshman. “I think that’s really commendable.”

Au Bon Pain, Campus Coffee of Durham, Enzo’s Pizza, Sitar Indian Palace, Geer Street Garden and The Boot. These vendors will be holding tastings on the plaza once a month on Tuesdays throughout the year as a part of a “Taste of West Union” series. Geer Street Garden was previously announced as the first vendor and will be the first vendor to begin service in the West Union as the operators of Devil’s Krafthouse pub on the first floor, which opens in February 2016. The other vendors will begin operation when the West Union fully opens

for Fall 2016. Some of the vendors in the new facility are already familiar to students. Enzo’s—currently one of the most popular merchants-on-points vendors—will operate Il Forno, and is known by students for its specialty pizzas. Sitar Indian Palace is currently serving students in Penn Pavilion and will continue to operate on campus in the West Union in Tandoor.

Students gather for mental health awareness Thurs. Madeline Halpert The Chronicle Approximately 100 people gathered on the Chapel steps to raise awareness about mental health Thursday evening. The event coincided with World Suicide Prevention Day and paid tribute to Cliff Brandt, Trinity ‘76, who took his own life in August, explained sophomore Khalouk Shahbander. Shahbander, the gathering’s lead organizer, is working to start a Duke chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness and create support groups for students suffering from mental illnesses. “We’re here to support each other and show that as a Duke community, we’re willing to make the change to help the people that need it the most,” he said. In a recent post on the All Duke Facebook page, Shahbander shared his own battles with mental illness and encouraged others to do the same. He said he felt a sense of urgency for students to come together to talk about this issue. “It’s been needed for a long time,” he said. In a short, informal speech, Shahbander addressed the issues of silence that often surround mental illness, and reminded students that

they are not alone, handing out slips of paper containing personal accounts of mental illness that students sent him. “What better resource, what better therapy do you have than your peers and a community behind you?” Shahbander said. For many, the event hit close to home. Freshman Emilia Chojkiewicz explained that she felt it was important to spread awareness about mental illness after losing three people in her life to suicide. Others had experienced mental illness on an even more personal level. Freshman Maegen Burns said that after struggling with some of her own mental health issues, she wanted to come let others know that she was there for support. Juniors Ryan Bowman and Arturo Reyes attended the event to honor the memory of Brandt, who was a member of their fraternity, Phi Delta Theta. Both Bowman and Reyes expressed frustration with how mental health is handled on campus. Reyes said that admitting to a struggle with mental illness is often not perceived to be socially acceptable. Bowman added that Duke’s Counseling and Psychological Services could be improved. See MENTAL HEALTH on Page 4

Faculty host students for dinner through Duke Conversations Rob Palmisano The Chronicle Thousands of Duke students have FLUNCH-ed and FOCUS-ed, but a new program has managed to marry the two. Duke Conversations—a new studentorganized dinner discussion series— gives undergraduates the opportunity to join faculty members in an informal setting to exchange ideas on a different

topic each week. Steve Nowicki, dean and vice provost for undergraduate studies, worked with senior Gayle Powell to start the program, serving as its first host and helping secure administrative backing. He said he thought the social interactions it created were particularly valuable. “Duke Conversations is yet another way to learn from the people around you,” he said. “I’m always challenging students to get the most out of Duke, and part of the resources that Duke offers is the people

Freshman plans event to honor 9/11 victims Friday Claire Ballentine The Chronicle One freshman’s last-minute initiative transformed the Bryan Center Plaza into a touching ceremony of remembrance for 9/11 victims Friday. At the event, organized by freshman Miriam Levitin, students who wished to honor victims of the 9/11 attacks met at the Plaza at 4:30 p.m. for a series of speeches and a moment of silence. Following these, University carillonneur Samuel Hammond played memorial music for the daily carillon recital. About 50 students attended the event, which Levitin promoted using a Facebook page entitled “Duke Memorializes 9/11”. “This is my first 9/11 away from home, and it didn’t feel right to treat it like a normal day,” she said in a speech to the crowd. Levitin—who grew up in a small town on Long Island—explained that she was surprised the University had not arranged a memorial ceremony and reached out to fellow students via Facebook, asking if any would be interested in having an event. Senior Lucas Crim, a member of the Duke ROTC program, agreed to help by speaking at the ceremony. “9/11 was a defining moment in our generation,” he said. “It’s important to recognize it by meeting and doing something tangible.” In his speech, Crim explained that he decided to join the military because of the attacks on 9/11 and noted that the

consequences of that day are still ongoing. Michael Gustafson, associate professor of the practice of electrical and computer engineering, also addressed the crowd, remembering how Duke’s campus came together on 9/11. He added that he was impressed by how quickly Levitin organized the ceremony. “At home, we have a candlelight ceremony every year and I wanted to feel that same sense of solidarity here,” Levitin explained. Several students expressed their appreciation for Levitin’s efforts to

remember the tragedy. “That day seems so detached from reality, it’s so hard to comprehend,” said freshman Alec Lintz. “Going to events like this opens your eyes to the reality that these were real people and real events.” Freshman Anna Lee—who grew up in New York where her dad worked as a firefighter—explained that she got a lot out of the ceremony because she could not be with her family on 9/11. Seeing student leadership like Levitin displayed was impressive, said senior

Christopher Schroeder, noting that in the absence of a formal University event he was pleased to see students take charge themselves. The University paid tribute to the six Duke alumni killed in the attacks by placing a wreath at the campus memorial grove outside of Keohane Quadrangle. They also lowered the Duke, North Carolina and United States flags across campus. Levitin noted that she was surprised there was not a bigger event considering the significant portion of Duke students from New York. Hopefully, the event will continue in future years and become a tradition at Duke, Crim said. He added that coming together as a student body is a great way to remember victims of the attacks, a message that Levitin expressed to the crowd. “Look around. Really look at everyone’s faces,” she said. “Take a deep breath and be thankful that you can. Don’t take life for granted.” In addition to the event planned by Levitin, the Duke Catholic Center also hosted a memorial mass in Goodson Chapel at noon on Friday in remembrance of 9/11. Senior William Rooney, a student organization officer for the Catholic Center and a columnist for The Chronicle, noted that approximately 45 people—mostly students—attended the mass. “It’s impressive to see students take initiative in commemorating 9/11, especially in the absence of a University event,” he said.

ELECTION from page 1 ballot itself proved to be one of the biggest challenges DSG faced. “A great lesson we learned was just how much trouble the instant runoff voting system gives people, especially those people who haven’t used it before,” Mellgard said. “The instant runoff system works if you’re an educated voter, but given the size of the school and the number of candidates, the current system became incredibly ineffective.” The instant runoff system requires that voters list all candidates for a position and nullifies the ballot if fewer than all candidates are ranked. Mecklai said that DSG will be investigating alternative ballot styles for future elections. “Something we’re going to work on moving forward is seeing if we can modify the instant runoff system so that we can have just one vote per student or the number of votes per number of open positions,” she explained. Another problem was a miscommunication between University Center of Activities and Events and the

www.dukechronicle.com

Office of Information Technology, which prevented the ballot from being sent out on time, shortening the original 24-hour window by approximately four hours. Rather than being held from noon Thursday until noon Friday, the ballot was only available starting late Thursday afternoon. The idea of a 24-hour window across two days was also a shift from previous elections, which were open during only one day from early in the morning until 10:00 p.m. DSG Attorney General Robin Zhang, a senior, said future elections would still be held at the same time so that technical difficulties could be easily resolved during UCAE’s operating hours when polls closed. Despite the difficulties with voting, Mecklai welcomed the freshman senators to DSG. “I am so excited to see their enthusiasm, their questions, and their campaign platforms,” she said. “I’m ready to welcome them to our Senate and give them opportunities to make the change on campus that they’ve been talking and campaigning about over the last couple weeks.”

MENTAL HEALTH from page 2 “They can only give [students] x amount of treatment for a certain period of time, and then they’re obligated by the policies to let them go,” he said. “You can’t treat a mental illness in three weeks.” Shahbander explained that he hoped to expand the resources available for students, beyond the systems already in place. Although the average wait times for CAPS dropped from nine days to four days last year, Gary Glass, CAPS associate director for outreach and developmental programming, noted this summer that CAPS is hoping to decrease wait times further this year.

Powell said she wants students who are willing to temporarily remove themselves from the “craziness of Duke” to attend these conversations. She noted that one goal of the program is to push students away from their comfort zones in order to engage in meaningful exchanges. “A lot of times, when we’re with our niche or our group, we tend to interact on a more superficial level,” she said. “When we’re with a new group of people in front of a new issue, things tend to get a lot more fun and insightful.” A faculty member hosts each dinner, in-

About 800 students have signed up for the group’s listserv so far, Powell said. She added that students are not the only ones who have shown interest in the program. “When I first started emailing faculty members over the summer, trying to set up a big schedule of dinners, I had no idea how receptive they’d be,” Powell said. “Every single one of them emailed me back saying they were interested.” Freshman Onastasia Ebright attended Tuesday’s dinner hosted by Kristin Goss, associate professor of public policy and political science, whose talk focused on millennials’ attitudes toward government service and the implications for the 2016 elections. Ebright said she enjoyed the conversation. “I was just so excited to get to know the faculty here,” Ebright said. “These conversations are a way to personally connect with some classmates whose perspectives you’ve never heard, and they remind you that your professors are real people too.” Other participants said they appreciated the informal setting of the dinners. Freshman Alan Khaykin said the main reason he signed up was the opportunity to spend time with faculty in an informal environment. “I thought it would be fascinating to meet these professors who have been

through the college experience and have made it out successfully,” Khaykin said. Senior Danielle Lefland noted that she enjoyed how Goss touched on a topic she otherwise would not have been able to delve into in a class setting. “I found it so refreshing to discuss such an issue [the 2016 presidential election] with someone so knowledgeable in this field after there was little time available to discuss it in class,” she said.

TAILGATE from page 1 A number of students also said that DevilsGate’s location on the Main West Quadrangle has the potential to build community. Before it was canceled in 2010, the old form of tailgate took place in several parking lots in the Blue Zone. Despite the distance between Main Quad and Wallace Wade Stadium, students liked the new location. “I’m just excited for everyone to gather and be together more,” said Allison Heredia, a sophomore. “We had it for some of the games last year, but we’re still kind of working on building that football culture. Having it on Main Quad is a lot better.” Although most students came into the

group Peer for You have increased their outreach efforts, but students and faculty generally agree that more can still be done to properly support those with mental health issues. Junior Pooja Mehta, who helped organize the event, said she thinks that students can make a big difference on campus by providing support to their peers. ”Everyone who’s here is here for the same reason. Look around, look at familiar faces and look at unfamiliar faces and realize that this is a network of people you can rely on,” Mehta told the crowd. Shahbander said he looks forward to working with NAMI in the future to provide a support system for students and change the way students and faculty view mental health. “This is the beginning of something special and extraordinary for the campus,” he said.

event unsure what to expect, many felt that the tailgate—especially the music and National Pan-Hellenic Council’s annual stroll show— was an enjoyable experience overall. “I really didn’t have any expectations,” Buhr said. “It’s pretty cool. I like the performances they’re putting on up there, and [it] seems like a really nice atmosphere.” Dinner was very enthusiastic about the event’s turnout and reaction, calling the new program a “success.” The revamped program debuted prior to a sold-out contest at the new Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium. And with home games against No. 23 Northwestern University and No. 14 Georgia Institute of Technology coming up, the atmosphere inside the stadium could have an even bigger impact moving forward. “We had a very large, open, on-campus event that supported football and our school community,” Dinner wrote in an email. “We ran out of food, if that gives any indication of our expectations and turnout. I have received amazing feedback on everything, and I think people are excited for Northwestern.” Despite the number of positive responses, other student reactions were more tepid. Sophomore Kavi Sakraney, for example, noted that although this year is definitely a step up from in the past, there is considerable room for improvement in the weeks to come. “So far, so good,” Sakraney said. “I hope more people come out, but so far, so good.”

BLUE DEVILS FLY BY EAGLES

Brian Mazur The Chronicle Duke football did exactly what it was supposed to Saturday night: take care of business. Playing in front of an energetic crowd in a newly renovated Wallace Wade Stadium in its home opener, the Blue Devils blew past crosstown FCS opponent N.C. Central 55-0 NCCU 0 Saturday night DUKE 55 in the fourth installment of the Bull City Gridiron Classic. Duke outgained the Eagles 655-186 and forced N.C. Central to go 1-of-14 on third downs en route to a dominant victory against its Durham neighbors. “A lot of things went well for us,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “Consistency was one of them. I thought we played a lot better in the second half than the first half, which is always a good sign. We played cleaner on offense and our defense was wire-to-wire.” Despite getting off to a shaky start on its first offensive drive that nearly ended in an interception, the Duke offense had little trouble racking up the points against the Eagle defense. Redshirt junior quarterback Thomas Sirk started the game 1-of-4, but did not seem to miss a beat after the team’s first drive, going on to throw for 315 yards and three touchdowns on the evening. Sirk’s first strike came with 2:49 to play in the first quarter, when he found running back Shaquille Powell on a wheel route down the left sideline for a 24-yard touchdown that gave the Blue Devils (2-0)

an early 7-0 lead. From there, the scoring came in bunches for Sirk and his offensive unit. Using a nice balance of rushing and passing plays, Duke began to put together a series of first half scoring drives that would break the game wide open. Most of the offense ran through Sirk, who played only three quarters before back-up Parker Boehme came in for mop-up duty with the score 48-0. “It was definitely a confidence builder to come out and execute on offense,” Sirk

said. “It’s always a challenge to open up on the road, and coming back, we were all excited to play in our first game at home.” Sirk’s 23-yard scamper with 13 minutes to play in the second quarter and an ensuing third-down throw to tight end David Reeves helped set up his own six-yard rushing touchdown with 9:15 before halftime. Sirk went on to account for four total touchdowns, capping off a night in which he finished with a 68 percent completion rate. He also added a

total of 86 yards on the ground on nine carries, accounting for 50-plus yards on the ground and through the air for the second straight game. Although this season is his first as Duke’s starting quarterback Sirk is no stranger to the program as a redshirt junior and continues to ease into his role under center. Constantly learning and developing relationships with receivers is an important part of the process. See FOOTBALL on Page 9

Small defensive front playing big early for Duke Seth Johnson The Chronicle Despite the swarm of questions regarding size and the ability to stop the run in Durham throughout the offseason, Duke’s defensive front has proven resilient in the first two games of the season. The Blue Devils coasted to a dominant 55-0 win Saturday night against N.C. Central as the newly renovated Wallace Wade Stadium hosted its first game of 2015. Duke’s offense may have been in the spotlight for much of the night as it put up 655 yards, but the defense held strong for the second week in a row in the shutout. “I think our defense was wire-to-wire,” Duke head coach David Cutcliffe said. “When you stop a team that often, field position is gained so well in that regard— that’s one of the most critical factors in winning football games.” Entering Saturday’s showdown, all eyes were on the Eagles’ quickness and speed following their 72-0 drubbing of Saint. Augustine’s last weekend. Given the size of N.C. Central’s offensive line—four starters tip the scales at heavier than 300 pounds— N.C. Central was expecting to be able to move the Blue Devils’ smaller defensive line

out of the trenches for positive yardage. Unfortunately for starter Idreis Augustus and the rest of the Eagles’ running back corps, moving the ball on the ground against Duke proved more difficult. Whereas the Blue Devils were able rack up 4.9 yards per carry for a total of 288 yards, N.C. Central only managed to record 54 total yards on the ground. Blue Devil Quarterback Thomas Sirk and running backs Shaquille Powell and Shaun Wilson all had more yards individually than the Eagles—86, 71 and 57 yards, respectively. “[Defensive coordinator Knowles has been really keen in our front seven for stopping the run,” sophomore linebacker Zavier Carmichael said. “We have to control the defensive line, so we’re really defending the gaps now and just controlling the line of scrimmage.” Despite the talk of a lack of size upfront, the Blue Devils’ front six was unfazed by the Eagles for the second straight iteration of the Bull City Gridiron Classic. Although a lot has changed since the 45-0 blowout in 2013, the fourth edition of the crosstown showdown ended with a second straight Duke defensive shutout. See DEFENSE on Page 8

Khloe Kim | The Chronicle The Blue Devil defense has been stingy against the run so far this season, holding the Eagles to 54 yards on the ground Saturday a week after surrendering just 25 to Tulane.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Duke suffers first road loss to conclude weekend trip Cassie Calvert The Chronicle Duke had yet to drop a road game this season, handling the tough environment to earn a tie at then-No. 6 Penn State and battling the elements Friday night to secure a victory at Samford. But Sunday was a different story. Despite posting a 13-8 shot advantage, the Blue Devils suffered their second loss DUKE 2 of the season at Louisiana State. 1 Following a win in SAM DUKE 0 double overtime Friday against the 1 Bulldogs, the Blue LSU Devils made the trip to Baton Rouge, La., which ended in the frustration of a 1-0 defeat. “I don’t think we played as well as we’re capable of playing,” Duke head coach Robbie Church said. “[The weekend was a] tough trip, no question about it, coming across three states... but in the game of soccer you have to be able to finish your opportunities. We had enough to win this game.” No. 21 Duke (5-2-1) had three shots in the first period, which tied the squad’s season low, a number Church attributed to his team not clicking offensively. Senior Kara Wilson—who scored her first career goal in the win Friday—recorded the first shot of the game in the third minute. Teammates Taylor Racioppi and Toni Payne also got looks early in the game, but the Blue Devils stalled late in the first half

and failed to get a shot off in the last 21 minutes of the period. The Duke offense reclaimed control of the game early in the second half, with the Blue Devils taking six straight attempts at the net, including three in a row by Payne. But the team was unable to capitalize and committed a costly mistake in the 73rd minute. Tiger forward Jorian Baucom was tripped in the box and Duke was assessed a penalty. Baucom drained the ensuing penalty kick to give Louisiana State the lead—and ultimately the victory—with the only goal scored in the game. “We totally dominated the second half,”

MEN’S GOLF

Church said. “They had one ball that was played in our box and it was a questionable call the ref made. But unfortunately, we have to blame ourselves a little bit because of that, because we should have scored two or three goals and been up [at that point].” Church’s squad continued to fight for the remaining 17 minutes of play, placing three more shots to the Tigers’ one. In the 78th minute, junior captain Christina Gibbons drained a goal that was not awarded to the Blue Devils due to an offsides penalty. Duke was assessed a yellow card soon afterwards. A shot by junior defender Lizzy Raben

went high in the 82nd minute and Louisiana State’s Debbie Hahn responded minutes later with a shot of her own— saved by Duke goalkeeper E.J. Proctor. Redshirt sophomore midfielder Cassie Pecht got her first and only look on the goal with less than three minutes to play, but sent it wide. With just more than a minute left, Malinda Allen had a chance to tie the game and send Duke back to overtime. But Louisiana State goalkeeper Catalina Rubiano grabbed the clutch save—her fifth of the afternoon—to seal the victory for the Tigers. A loss to the unranked Tigers (5-1-2), who received just one vote in last week’s coaches poll, may be enough to bump the Blue Devils out of the top 25. “It’s very disappointing right now, but hopefully we learn from it and we go forward,” Church said. “We as coaches have to figure out how we’re going to help these girls score some goals. They have to take responsibility in being confident in their ability and believing in themselves, too. We have a lot of work to do.” Duke will return home to Koskinen Stadium Thursday at 7 p.m. to host Appalachian State—the squad’s last regular season nonconference foe—before beginning a rigorous 10-game ACC schedule. First up for the Blue Devils will be the defending national champion No. 3 Florida State, which visits Durham Sunday. “Every game for us is big,” Church said. We’ll use the game [against Appalachian State] just like we’ve used every game—try to play as well as we can, try to score some goals and try to win games.”

Wood leads Blue Devils Duke offense comes alive to second-place finish Peishu Li

The Chronicle

Alexandra Tan The Chronicle When the Blue Devils made the turn for the back nine Sunday, they were staring at an uphill battle. By the time they reached the 18th green, they had climbed almost all the way to the top, only to come up inches short. Duke went wire-to-wire with Wake Forest in the final round of the sixth annual Rod Myers Invitational, but eventually fell short against the Demon Deacons by one stroke and was forced to settle for second place with a team total of 863. Both teams were tied at one-under as the final group—Duke’s Adam Wood and Wake Forest’s Will Zalatoris—teed off at the last hole. Wood made two solid shots to reach the green but could not convert his birdie putt to match Zalatoris, settling for a par on the final hole. Wood finished second individually with a one-over-par 73 for the day and a seven-under showing for the tournament. “I made a few mistakes early in the round. But I knew that I was going to See M. GOLF on Page 12

Ian Jaffe | The Chronicle Sophomore Adam Wood finished second overall at seven-under par at the Rod Myers Invitational this weekend.

Two days after the offense struggled to find its footing against No. 12 Wake Forest, the Blue Devils were firing on all cylinders Sunday afternoon. No. 4 Duke bounced back from Friday’s loss to the Demon Deacons with a 6-2 win against William & Mary at Jack Katz Stadium. The Blue Devils displayed a smooth offensive performance throughout the game, scoring two goals in the first 2 half and adding WF DUKE 1 on four more in the second. Junior W&M 2 forward Heather DUKE 6 Morris fueled the offense with a hat trick, including the key score in the first half to re-establish Duke’s lead soon after the Tribe evened the score. “The mindset was basically just get a good win today,” Morris said. “After Friday, we just wanted to come out really solid and show everybody that [losing] is not going to happen again and we can take it to a team.” Duke (4-2) came out strong, getting ahead early when junior Robin Blazing slid in at the back post and tallied the first goal of the match in the third minute on an assist from sophomore Ashley Kristen.

After struggling at first, William & Mary (3-3) gradually found its rhythm and started to fight back. Senior Pippin Saunders stormed into the Blue Devils’ circle and tied the score at 1-1 in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a momentary lapse by the Duke defense. “I thought they took advantage of moments when maybe we were just a bit wrong-footed,” Duke head coach Pam Bustin said. “But I thought Duke did a good job organizing and reorganizing and finding a way to get the structure back in the backfield.” The Blue Devils did just that. After giving the Demon Deacons seven penalty corners in Friday’s 2-1 loss, they allowed zero in the first half Sunday and limited the visitors to just three shots on goal. In the meantime, Duke continued to apply pressure with its offense, compiling nine shots before halftime. The effort paid off when Kristen once again created a scoring chance from the back post and Morris converted the shot to regain the lead. “I think we just wanted to try and connect a little bit more and pass stick to stick,” Morris said, “Ashley actually gave me a great pass to score the goal, set me up perfectly, and I think we did a really good job just going around them and connecting.” The Tribe retaliated to open the second See FIELD HOCKEY on Page 8

It would not be enough. Duke swept UNC Wilmington 3-0 (2520, 25-12, 25-13) Saturday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium to earn a weekend split. After facing a STAN 3 6-foot-8 opposing DUKE 2 blocker on the Stanford front line UNCW 0 the previous night, DUKE 3 the Blue Devils pounced on a team with no player standing taller than 6-foot-1. “I thought our team would have to make some adjustments today, just with timing on the block,” Duke head coach Jolene Nagel said. “[I’m] really excited that our team was patient and disciplined on defense.” Duke (5-3) quickly got the bitter taste out of its mouth from the previous night, a fiveset loss against the No. 3 Cardinal that went down to the wire. Trailing 3-0 in the first set, the Blue Devils went on an 11-2 run, turning to reigning ACC Freshman of the Week Leah Meyer for production. Meyer delivered, putting up nine kills in the first set alone—compared to 11 total for the Seahawks (6-2)—and finishing with a career-high 17 kills at a

.484 clip. The Clarence, N.Y., native took advantage of a shorter opponent, putting up six blocks on the afternoon to stymie UNC Wilmington’s offense. The Blue Devils did not keep things close in the second or third sets. Duke held the Seahawks to just 10 kills total in the last two frames, as the Blue Devils outhit them in the match .285 to .055. The night before, UNC Wilmington had won a five-set battle against North Carolina, which beat the Cardinal earlier in the week.

Duke bounced back from its five-set loss with much more tenacity, and as a result completed the circle of parity. The Blue Devils also found their groove serving, an area that has given the team plenty of trouble during the past three weeks. Duke recorded three aces against four service errors, won 58 percent of the points on its serve and went on four runs of at least six straight points. “I thought we were serving tougher [Saturday],” Nagel said. “[Against

The speed of the Blue Devils, which was not as prevalent two seasons ago, was a major part of the shutout this season. With the transition of so many different players to linebacker, including senior will linebacker Dwayne Norman, as well as the recruitment of players like Carmichael, quickness has been key for Duke. “[It’s] just speed, honestly,” Carmichael said. “[The game] worked toward our linebacker style, just trying to keep them on their heels—shaking them and what not— and the [defensive] line getting a good push on them.” After punishing the Tulane running game in the season opener in New Orleans by allowing just 25 yards on 23 attempts, the Blue Devil defensive front continued its streak of success against opposing runners. Through two games this season, Duke has now allowed 79 yards on 50 attempts—good for just 1.6 yards per carry. “We’re really attacking this year,” redshirt senior defensive end Kyler Brown said. “As of last year we were doing a little bit less of attacking on the front line, so we’re really getting after [opposing running backs], trying to stop them before they get to that line. It’s been working for us so far.” Although they could not force a turnover during the 25:49 that N.C. Central possessed the ball, the Blue Devils were nonetheless successful in their ability to get off the field. The Eagles had 14 chances to convert on third down, but the strength of the Duke defense only allowed one conversion and never allowed the ball to break into the red zone. For the season, the defense has given up just three conversions

Stanford] we didn’t serve as tough as we wanted to. So today I thought we did a much better job of that.” Freshman defensive specialist Kelli Kalinoski finished the match with only one service error, and she continues to earn more playing time. All three freshmen on the roster made appearances, as did 14 of the 16 Blue Devils. “I’m really excited about our entire freshman class,” Nagel said. “They don’t seemed to get rattled a lot…I look for all of them to be big contributors for our team.” In both wins and losses this season, Nagel has stressed the importance of consistent play. The four-time ACC Coach of the Year was pleased Saturday, as Duke posted 18, 17 and 17 kills in the three sets and varied little in killing percentage, attempts and errors from set to set. Nagel’s focus on consistency is for good reason—all of Duke’s wins have come in straight sets, but the Blue Devils have dropped both of their five-setters, including Friday night’s marathon against Stanford, when Duke’s quality of play was sporadic depending on the set. The Blue Devils continue their homestand next weekend, welcoming No. 24 Michigan Friday and Michigan State Saturday to Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke faced both opponents on the road last year, falling to the Wolverines in five sets before turning around to take down the Spartans in another five-set contest.

on 28 attempts on third down. With competition ramping up in Durham next week as No. 23 Northwestern comes to town, fresh off of a 41-0 victory against Eastern Illinois, the Blue Devils’ defense will be tested in its ability to continue this trend next week. “I think we’ve matched up well with the two opponents we’ve played,” Cutcliffe said. “We’re getting ready to play a Big Ten team…[so] the theme is going to be just continue to improve.”

FIELD HOCKEY from page 7 half, creating several penalty corners to threaten the goal guarded by redshirt senior Lauren Blazing. But the Blue Devils did not stop their pace offensively. Morris stayed hot in the second half and scored two more goals to complete her hat trick, with the help of Kristen and captain Amanda Kim on her last score. Kristen finished the game with a career-high three assists, giving her a team-high eight on the season. Freshman Rose Tynan tagged on two more goals in the final minutes of the game—the first of the Auckland, New Zealand, native’s Blue Devil career— putting the nail in the coffin for the Tribe. “I think today’s second half performance on the attack side of things is exactly what we’ve been waiting for and working for,” Bustin said. “The rhythm is happening and the confidence was built a little bit better today from the opportunities we had.” The Blue Devils will hit the road next week, traveling to Charlottesville, Va., to face No. 6 Virginia Friday at 6 p.m. before hosting Old Dominion Sunday at 1 p.m.

FOOTBALL from page 6 “Each game is a learning process for me,” he said. “[It is about] taking away from each game as much as I can, learning more about coverage and learning more about my guys and learning where they are going to be on certain plays.” Sirk’s emerging arsenal of weapons helped him effectively pick apart the N.C. Central defense. Running back Shaun Wilson registered 57 yards on the ground and added a one-yard rush touchdown late in the first half that made the score 24-0. The Charlotte, N.C., native also showed off his elite speed, taking a screen pass from Sirk to the house from 89 yards away. The sophomore finished with 159 total yards on the night, and the long scamper near the end of the third quarter assured his head coach that his training camp leg injury is a thing of the past. “We try to be a fast football team,” Cutcliffe said. “We really tried to build our program around that type of thing. Shaun missed a bunch of camp. He’s just now getting in stride and getting in shape. I think he can continue to be special.” A number of Blue Devil drives were extended by four N.C. Central offside penalties, including one on a fourth-andone inside Duke territory. That penalty extended the scoring drive that led to the Sirk-Powell touchdown connection. The Eagles (1-1) finished the night with nine penalties that amounted to 45 yards. As N.C. Central gave up yard after yard to the Blue Devil offense, the Duke defense clamped down on the Eagles’ offensive sudoku_484B

unit and did not allow a drive longer than 20 yards until the 4:29 mark in the third quarter. Quarterback Malcolm Bell had limited success through the air, finishing 12-of-24 for 127 yards on the night, but failed to make any notable plays through the air until late in the third quarter, when a screen pass to Khalil Stinson went for 37 yards. N.C. Central had even less success on the ground. For the second straight week, Duke’s defensive unit held its opponent to less than 40 rushing yards, further erasing preseason questions about the Blue Devils’ front six. Duke’s defensive line had a constant presence in the Eagle backfield, whether it was pressuring Bell into errant throws or stuffing the N.C. Central run game. The Eagles finished with 54 yards on the ground. “We’re really attacking this year,” defensive end Kyler Brown said. “As of last year we were doing a bit less of attacking on the front lines. So we’re really getting after [opponents], trying to stop them before they get to the line. It’s been working for us so far.” Brown, Brandon Boyce and A.J. Wolf all registered 0.5 tackles for loss in the contest. Defensive end Britton Grier registered his first sack of the season late in the third quarter, icing a successful night up front for the Blue Devils. Duke will face a much tougher test next week, when it welcomes No. 23 Northwestern to Wallace Wade Stadium at 12:30 p.m. Saturday. The Wildcats are 2-0 after a 16-6 victory against then-No. 21 Stanford in their season opener and a 41-0 win against Eastern Illinois Saturday.

ometimes the best editorial writers are those with that devil-may-care attitude that lets them write exactly what they think and feel, bringing to the table those spitting ideas that prod and provoke. Other times, the very best editorial writers are those who are carefully introspective. They consider all the angles and elegantly explore new and sometimes surprising ideas to encourage progress through reflection. In either case—and all the cases in between—a quality editorial writer makes it their duty to make discoveries in spaces for discussion, whether that means creatively trying their hand at age-old questions or breaking entirely new ground with an appraising eye. These people want to leave their intentional mark, however fleeting, on their communities to offer what they believe to be true and valuable opinions. Today, we invite those who share our drive for discovery and productive truth to join us in our forum of choice. The independent Editorial Board of The Chronicle is open and hiring. Why join the Editorial Board? Because your voice has value. Every student on campus has an opinion to put forward, and we want to put together the very best and most prolific minds

to debate and take a stand on our campus’ most pressing issues. We promise a diversity of thought and rousing level of conversation toc shape campus dialogue. We make our daily published contribution to campus through our space here on the back spread of the Chronicle. Our twice

Editorial weekly meetings produce five systematic but highly organic discussions that in turn generate five editorials written up by a collaborative rotation of our members. In a typical meeting, we will pool our thoughts on what topics are most timely for students to read about, select two or three topics to flesh out into editorials and pick the issue apart together to find our best united opinion. What we practice is far from a perfect science—requiring an interest in having a broad base of knowledge for all that university life entails—but it is a rewarding one. It takes a good-natured student to wrangle with the opinions of others and still remain friends, but if you are down for the discussion, our conference table may just suit you.

Here’s the kind of person we are looking for. Someone who speaks honestly. Someone in touch with student opinion. Someone who cares about student discussion on campus. Somebody invested in the student body but not dominated by its tides of opinion. Someone with a strong, clear style of writing. Someone unafraid of formally and informally debating others, posing questions and prospecting answers from their peers and administrative superiors. Someone who sees Duke as an institution in higher education, beyond their four years and even before them. Someone who does not mind leaving behind the Oxford comma. My personal favorite—someone who comes to meetings prepared and on time. And someone who enjoys the company of those who also fit this description. Editorial writing should not be taken up by the pushy or brash but is for the sensibly bold among us. We want members whose only bias is bias towards the better argument and whose passion is to be heard on important issues, all in the pursuit of the highest quality opinions. So prepare to add your splash of color to our lively debate by joining the Editorial Board. Email lg138@duke.edu for more information.

W

e at The Chronicle know that many sophomores will fall victim this year to the so-called “sophomore slump,” the general dimming of spirits that accompanies the end of freshman year and the need to begin planning one’s college career in full. In light of this phenomenon, we have put together this brief guide on how you yourself can overcome and avoid the supposed malaise of sophomore year. 1: Flee West Campus as you would Death himself. Dirty, wet and full of cockroaches, West is not so

at one venue. This may seem like a major sacrifice. West Campus has a wide range of dining options in much the same way that Donald Trump has a wide range of insightful thoughts to offer on the Latino community or a hot poker to the eyeball inspires a wide range of pleasant and calming emotions. Yet you will find that by voluntarily restricting the number of places you eat you shall perfectly preserve that joyous freshman camaraderie that would be otherwise unavailable to you as a sophomore. 4: Ensure for your own safety that you continue to

Monday Monday SATIRE, PROBABLY much a campus as the geographical equivalent of a corpse discovered in a swamp – though granted, for this metaphor to work it must be an exquisitely dressed corpse, visited from far and wide for the beauty of its bloated, boggy carcass. Central is a distant, barren archipelago, plagued by bandits and impossible to reach but by a bus that makes its passage by Earth only once every hundred years. Faced with living in these places, it is no surprise that sophomores often end up feeling down. The best way to overcome this tristesse is to reject the notion of living off East Campus altogether and instead roam East each night seeking out empty beds in which to take shelter for the night. By doing this, one can successfully insulate oneself from the horrors that come with maturing. 2: Refuse to speak to anyone whom you did not meet during freshman year. The proper thing to do sophomore year is to refuse to interact with anyone that you did not already know from freshman year. This includes unknown professors and Duke dining staff, who are alien to your freshman year and therefore risk compromising your perfect college experience. If a professor does call on you in class and says something to the effect of “I swear to God, Philip, if you don’t answer this time I’m going to kick you out of my class,” you may respond by screaming the requisite answer at the nearest person you did meet freshman year. 3: Eliminate the illusion of choice from your meal plan. Many rising sophomores are excited by the prospect of finally being able to eat at a range of dining venues instead of having to go to Marketplace every day. What they do not realize, however, is that in losing Marketplace they are losing the kind of community that eating the same thing at the same venue with the same people day after day for a year can bring. This can be deeply saddening. The solution to this problem is to draft an accord with as many of your friends as possible agreeing that you will only ever eat

wear your lanyard at all times. It is a popular and important fact that the occurrence of the sophomore slump correlates uncannily to the decreased use of lanyards. Lanyards are of course an important guarantor of safety on Duke’s campus because they protect against attack by ceiling crocodiles. Ceiling crocodiles, which were introduced to Duke in 1921 and are known to breed in the spaces above dorm ceiling tiles, are famously afraid of lanyards. Stories abound of arrogant sophomores killed at night for failing to sleep with their lanyards. In one well-known instance, a sophomore couple was decapitated mid-coitus by a crocodile hanging upside-down from the ceiling because they forgot to wear a lanyard during sex. Most juniors, eventually wising to the dangerous narcissism of their sophomore years, end up eating their lanyards so as to provide ongoing protection once and for all. 5: Accept the emptiness of life and that, no matter how well you do in class or after college, ultimately your achievements will be wiped from the Earth like sandcastles from the beach and all that matters is your own enjoyment of your brief existence. The sophomore slump ultimately arises out of an anxiety over the future; over what major one should do, what career one should angle for, which people one should be friends with, et cetera. Of course, in reality none of that will matter because one day everything you or I do will fall out of human memory. Entropy will rake the universe into uniformity, our physical footprints will disappear and it will be as though we never were. So none of that career stuff matters! Sure, try and get a good job and all so you can live comfortably, but for goodness’ sake, prioritize enjoying yourself over all that. That is after all the point of “being” in the first place. In spite of the above, after death, Monday Monday’s soul plans to roam the empty universe forever, weeping softly to itself and giving depressing life advice to lingering muons.

The moral crisis of our generation

I

firmly believe that the most vulnerable and voiceless among us are the most deserving of our protection. Since Roe v. Wade in 1973, 58 million fetuses in America have been killed by abortions. To contextualize the magnitude of this ghastly, staggering figure, consider that Stalin’s purges and gulags killed 20 million, Hitler’s Third Reich killed 20 million and Mao’s Great

Good intentions, bad outcomes Trigger warning: sexual assault n the last couple years, sexual assault on college campuses has been a topic launched into the national spotlight. Activists began speaking publicly about their ordeals, founding organizations like Know Your IX, creating campaigns like Carry that Weight and testifying before Congress. Their efforts have helped to chip away at the mountain of stigma associated with being a survivor of sexual assault. Despite years of activism,

BETWEEN THE LINES

Leap Forward killed 45 million. Now, consider this: the ability to crush a fetus’s skull is supported by hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government and is currently a constitutional right that cannot be unduly burdened. If that’s not institutionalized genocide comparable in scale to the most inhumane atrocities of the 20th century, I don’t know what is. Recently, abortion has returned to the forefront of national attention due to the horrifying videos released by the Center for Medical Progress, which depict Planned Parenthood executives cavalierly discussing the sale of fetus hearts, lungs and livers, among other subjects. Yet at Duke, you’d hardly know such a national conversation was happing. In my three years here, the university has hosted an illegal immigrant as a speaker and promoted gay history in a library exhibit, only two examples of countless ideologically-driven events. I have yet to see one single event, university or student led, supporting the life of the unborn, even though 55 percent of Americans generally believe abortion should be illegal. In fact, the university has actively silenced those who advocate a pro-life viewpoint. In 2010, the Women’s Center censored a pro-life speaker because of her beliefs. It’s hardly surprising that many students have never encountered an intellectual defense of the pro-life position. As such, I seek to provide a robust argument for protecting the life of the unborn, an alien and unwelcome viewpoint on this campus. The first step in my endeavor is ontologically establishing the moral humanity (not biological) of a zygote from the moment of conception. Some abortionists, like Sen. Chris Murphy (DCT), tie humanity and the rights thereof with the act of birth. This position is untenable because it implies that humanity is location dependent — if a fetus is in the womb, it is not a human, but if it is birthed, then it is a human. If so, when the head of the fetus emerges from the mother but the torso still remains inside, is the fetus half-human? Or, if a fetus is completely birthed from the mother and then placed back inside, did the fetus gain humanity and then lose it? Clearly, there is no reason to place moral significance on the physical environment surrounding a fetus. A more plausible argument is that of Mary Anne Warren who claims that humanity arises from meeting one or more criteria such as communication and responsiveness to pain, and thus a fetus has no rights because he or she doesn’t meet the criteria. But, under Warren’s reasoning, it could be morally permissible to summarily execute a paralyzed Alzheimer’s patient since he or she

of humanity at conception is the only nonarbitrary solution because conception is the point at which a unique, distinct entity is created who will, left unimpeded, become a full-fledged human. Under this position, an individual sperm or egg is not a human because it has no capacity to grow towards full human maturity. A zygote cannot be ontologically distinct from a full-fledged human being; a zygote is just an earlier stage of human development akin to adolescence being an earlier stage to adulthood. Having established humanity from conception, the second step is to demonstrate that there are no circumstances in which the unborn may be killed. Judith Jarvis Thomson famously argues that a fetus may be killed even if he or she is considered a human being. For Thomson, a fetus is a parasitic tenant renting a house, with the house being a metaphor for the mother’s body. As such, the landlord (the mother) can end the relationship. Thomson also compares pregnancy to having your kidneys used involuntarily as life support for a stranger, concluding that there is no obligation to provide that support. John Finnis, Francis Beckwith, Jeff McMahan and others offer multiple reasons why Thomson is off-base, with the most convincing argument being the letting die vs. killing distinction. The act of aborting a fetus is the direct cause of the fetus’s death whereas when you remove the kidney supports from the stranger, his underlying disease is what kills him. Lastly, I want to address cases of rape and incest even though their incidence rate is exceedingly small. Even if the zygote is unjustly conceived, he or she is still an innocent human being. Killing an innocent human being for no reason other than your own discomfort with their origin would be to use that person as a “mere means to an end,” as Kant would say. In other words, two wrongs don’t make a right. A victim of rape or incest is free to give up her child for adoption, but she cannot morally justify killing the unborn child due to the circumstances of conception. As a civilized society, we are remarkably barbaric to the unborn, who we dismember and sell. Abortion truly is the great moral crisis of our generation. Thankfully, young Americans are already leading the charge to end abortion and are the most likely out of any age group to oppose all abortions, according to Gallup. I hope our generation will continue the good fight.

though, we are no closer to consensus on how to solve the problem. This doesn’t mean that there are not solutions out there. Feminist campus groups, Women’s Centers, rape crisis centers and survivor-activists have been working tirelessly on proposals to combat sexual assault through awareness campaigns, adoption of new policies, educational outreach, among other interventions. Occasionally the government helps as well – the influential 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter clarified that sexual violence is a form of harassment prohibited by Title IX, leading to a flurry of investigations into universities mishandling sexual assault reports (136 were under investigation as of July) and providing the impetus for many schools to hire Title IX coordinators, establish Women’s Centers, provide survivors with accommodations and clarify their sexual misconduct policies. All of this increased publicity and awareness has helped build strong allyship – individuals supporting sexual assault survivors even if they have not personally been assaulted. Allyship is critical to the destruction of systems and beliefs that both perpetrate and perpetuate sexual assault. However, effective allyship can be difficult. For instance, recent outrage regarding sexual assault has caused many people to become allies, but it has also driven wellintentioned but misguided reforms. A case in point is the “Safe Campus Act,” a current Congressional bill that would, in short, require students who report instances of sexual assault to their universities to also report their cases to the police and prevent universities from acting unless students file the police reports. While this may not seem particularly problematic and maybe even helpful, survivors of sexual assault and many school administrators have decried the legislation as a guaranteed way to stop survivors from reporting and drastically limit schools’ ability and legal obligation to investigate reports of sexual assault. According to one of the panelists at a Congressional hearing held last Tuesday on the legislation, “If universities are mandated to report criminally, we know it’s going to have a chilling effect on people even getting to the very first resource to help.” Survivors generally don’t report to the police and generally don’t want to report to the police (if you’re interested in why, check out Time Magazine’s “Why Victims of Rape in College Don’t Report to the Police”). Additionally, police are all too often vastly unprepared to deal with allegations of sexual assault. Not to mention that there are other intersectional issues relating to police interaction, especially for women of color. As the Washington Post recently Jonathan Zhao is a Trinity senior and the reported, an eleven-year-old who reported Editorial Page Editor. His column runs on sexual assault to the police twice ended up being convicted for lying. On Duke’s alternate Mondays.

campus, I’ve heard numerous horror stories of women reporting incidents to the police only to be accused of lying, of dressing too provocatively or drinking too much. I myself never reported to the police because I was terrified of not being believed, especially because the men were prominent members of the community. For the women who do report to the police, though, their rapists end up walking free 94 percent of the time. Reporting sexual assault to the police

is an exhausting ordeal that some women may choose, but we shouldn’t be forcing women to go to the police and live through more trauma. Sexual assault is one of the most dehumanizing, disempowering experiences a person can endure. Giving survivors the power to choose their course of redress, whatever course that may be, is a small but vital step in helping them along the path of recovery. Reporting to the police is one of many options that students can select, and it is presented if students go to their university to seek assistance. But if students learn that their university will force them to go to the police, they will stop coming. They’ll stop getting the mental health services, class accommodation and other services that universities are required to supply. While well-intentioned, this bill falls into the category of failed, half-hearted attempts to “save” women from sexual assault even as survivors repeatedly argue that it won’t. Just like rape-prevention nail polish or penis-shredding condoms, this bill does nothing to prevent sexual assault and everything to make the experience more difficult for survivors. Those who want to be allies in this movement and work effectively towards change need to work with survivors and not for survivors. That means, as a newcomer, spending time really trying to understand the experience of a survivor. It means reading up on Title IX, the Clery Act, and issues in intersectional feminism. For students on campus, and specifically at Duke, it means attending events at the Women’s Center, meeting with the Title IX coordinator, reading up on the Sexual Misconduct Policy, interacting with groups like the Women’s Collective, Develle Dish, Duke Support and more. It means recognizing your status as an ally as something meant to bolster the voices of survivors, not overpower them. When people, especially men, are confronted with the issue of sexual assault, many are rightfully angry. There’s a desire to fix what is a horrible situation. Many will cite their ideas to “fix” the problem as the first or the best. But too often they overlook the activism survivors and allies have already been deeply engaged in. Rather than working with survivors, poor allies will try to lead their own programs, often contrary to what survivors want and need. Or worse, they’ll put up a façade of cooperation when they really just want to pursue their own agenda. Sexual assault is maddening. Let’s channel that anger towards the productive movements survivors have been leading rather than movements survivors have to spend time fighting. Dana Raphael is a Trinity junior.

The owner of Twinnies and Blue Express, Fares Hanna will operate Three Seasoning Catering, which will operate in The Farmstead and Sprout. The list of vendors for the West Union has been in development for three years, Coffey wrote. With the help of Duke Student Government, Duke Dining organized a number of student focus groups to “provide directionâ€? on prospective vendors. Duke University Student Dining Advisory Council then met with owners and sampled menu items last semester. The “Taste of West Unionâ€? series will begin Sept. 29 with the owners of Geer Street Garden and The Boot. “This will be an opportunity for the whole student body to meet these talented local Triangle restaurant owners and chefs and sample some menu options that will be part of the menu mix for their West Union venue,â€? Coffey wrote.

pastries at The Perk, will add a location in the West Union called CafĂŠ. The new location will offer a different and more expansive menu than The Perk, wrote Robert Coffey, director of dining services, in an email. Au Bon Pain, which currently operates in the Bryan Center, will move to the West Union. The space in the Bryan Center currently belonging to ABP will be converted to a soft seating area for studying or watching television, Coffey wrote. Some students have expressed dissatisfaction with Duke Dining’s decision because it does not do enough to promote new variety on campus. “I don’t think it’s that big of an improvement,â€? sophomore Jonathan Osei said. “We already have Sitar, we have ABP and we already have two burger places.â€? Others noted that the vendors are a source of excitement as they prepare for the opening of the new facility. “I’m really excited about an actual sushi place being in West Union. I have high expectations and hopefully they’ll be met,â€? sophomore Jasmine Pringle said. In addition to excitement, some students Sarah Kerman and Neelesh Moorthy contributed are wondering why previously popular reporting. vendors such as Chick-fil-A will not be making a return. “I’m really excited about the Indian cuisine. It’s always a reliable source of food,â€? sophomore Casey MacDermod said. “It’s interesting that they’re bringing a lot of Durham based places into the union. I don’t understand why they don’t put Chickfil-A in there.â€? Although some vendors will be making a new move to on-campus locations, other vendors in the West Union will have similar leadership as eateries that students already frequent.

M. GOLF from page 7 have to play solid golf to apply some pressure and give our team a good chance of winning,� Wood said. “I hit two good shots [on the last hole], and I actually hit a good putt that just touched the edge of the hole. But it wasn’t enough—it happens.� The Blue Devils began the second day of the tournament within one shot of the Demon Deacons, but quickly fell further behind as Wake Forest widened its lead to seven strokes by the end of the first nine holes. However, solid performances by sophomore Jake Shuman and junior Matt Oshrine allowed Duke to rally back to keep within striking distance of the Demon Deacons. Oshrine, who recently transferred from Loyola, posted an even-par 72 to finish the tournament at even-par and secure a tie for eighth. Building off of an impressive freshman season, Shuman tied for 10th place with a ledger of one over par, rounding out the trio of Blue Devils in the top 10. The Needham, Mass., native shot one-under on the front nine—highlighted by an eagle on the ninth hole—but was unable to finish his round in red numbers due to an eight-stroke mishap on the 13th hole. Wake Forest lost some of its lead down the stretch with a string of bogeys. Two birdies by Oshrine on the back nine and a birdie by freshman Alex Smalley on the 18th hole brought the Blue Devils back into contention. “[We] made some birdies—we might have had a hiccup here and there but another couple of teams had more hiccups, so that’s why we closed the gap and made it close,� Duke head coach

Jamie Green said. Smalley shot a three-over 75 to finish tied for 23rd at five over par. Max Greyserman rounded out the Duke lineup, also posting a 75 in the final round to conclude the tournament tied for 36th. Only freshman Shrish Dwivedi and junior Alexander Matlari, both playing as individuals, finished the third round under par with a pair of 71s. Despite leading the field with 185 pars, Duke only made 41 birdies. Green attributed this to weather conditions that were considerably tougher from the day before. “Whenever the wind blows, it makes it tougher for golfers. They have to try and predict what’s going to happen [when] the ball [is] up in the air and the wind’s coming sideways,� Green said. “In our place in particular, [with] these tall trees and the Duke forest, the wind gets to bouncing around so you can know the general direction but you still might get fooled.� Dwivedi and Matlari led the individual players, playing neck-and-neck to tie for 12th at two over par. Matlari’s one-under round Sunday was highlighted by a bogeyfree front nine, and Dwivedi showed promise in his first tournament as a Blue Devil. Junior Andrew Bieber posted a final round 81 to finish tied for 54th and sophomore Ben Silverman rounded up individual play tied for 61st. “The golf course and the wind showed up, it bared its teeth a little bit later in the round,� Green said. “So that’s why I could not be more proud of our guys and playing as solid as they did coming down the stretch.� The Blue Devils will return to competition at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Collegiate Challenge Cup in Kingston Springs, Tenn., Sept. 25-27.
