Women's Basketball
• Elizabeth Williams received espnW All-America honors this week, becoming the first four-time All-America in school history.
Men's Lacrosse
• Myles Jones registered three goals and five assists for eight points to lead Duke to a 15-13 victory at Georgetown over the weekend. The eight points push his career total to 129 and 29th in Duke history. He is 17 points shy of passing Jim Gonnella as the top scoring midfielder in Duke history and is on pace to pass him against Virginia, April 12. His 21 assists are just nine shy of moving into a tie for 10th on the single-season list. Gonnella dished 32 assists out in 1997 to lead Duke midfielders, while Deemer Class had 27 last season to rank 12th in Duke single-season history and second among middies.
Women's Lacrosse
• Saturday's victory at Louisville marked the 250th for the Duke program. Head coach Kerstin Kimel has guided the Blue Devils to an all-time record of 250-118 since establishing the program in 1996.
• With its 9-0 ledger, Duke has matched the program's best start to the season. The 2006 squad also started 9-0 and went on to finish 18-3 while claiming the ACC regular season title and reaching the NCAA semifinals.
Men's Tennis
• Sunday against Miami, redshirt senior Chris Mengel earned the 104th singles victory of his career, the ninth most in program history.
• Mengel's win was also his 27th in ACC action, tied for the seventh most on the Duke all-time chart.
• Also on Sunday, senior Raphael Hemmeler climbed into a tie for fifth on the program charts with his 26th career ACC doubles victory.
• Hemmeler's singles victory was the 106th of his career, the eighth most in program history.
• As a team the Blue Devils' 6-1 victory against the Hurricanes lifted the team's overall mark to 14-2, tied with the 1977, 1988 and 2005 teams for the best 16-match record in program history. The Blue Devils have not lost consecutive ACC matches since April 3 and 5, 2009.
Track & Field
• At the NCAA Indoor Championships, junior Megan Clark earned the silver medal in the women's pole vault with a school-record clearance of 14-9.00 (4.50), improving her own mark of 14-5.25 (4.40) set in 2014. Clark became the first Duke women's pole vaulter to finish second at the NCAA Championships since Olympic pole vaulter Jillian Schwartz took silver at the 2001 NCAA Outdoor Championships. After passing on her second and third attempts at 14-11.00 (4.55), Clark could not clear 15-1.00 (4.60), which would have tied the NCAA meet record set last spring.
• Also breaking its own Duke record, the women's 4x400 squad of seniors Lauren Hansson and Elizabeth Kerpon, sophomore Madeline Kopp and freshman Maddy Price combined to clock a time of 3:32.56, besting its previous mark of 3:34.00, to finish sixth and earn first team All-America honors.
• Duke ended the weekend with a total of nine student-athletes earning first team All-America accolades, including Megan Clark, the women's 4x400 (Lauren Hansson, Madeline Kopp, Maddy Price, Elizabeth Kerpon) and the men's distance medley relay (Brian Schoepfer, Brett Bofinger, Henry Farley and Nate McClafferty). The total is the most ever at an NCAA championship meet, either indoor or outdoor, in program history.
Wrestling
• Duke will send a program-record five wrestlers to the 2015 NCAA Championship. Mitch Finesilver (133), Marcus Cain (149), Jacob Kasper (184) and Conner Hartmann (197) each earned automatic bids from their performances at the ACC Championship. Redshirt senior Immanuel Kerr-Brown made the list five this past Wednesday when he picked up an at-large berth in the championship field at 157 pounds.
• This is the 16th time in program history Duke has sent multiple wrestlers to the NCAA postseason event.
