DURHAM, N.C.— Blue Devil senior Christina Gibbons is a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award. The Blue Devil Network caught up with members of the Duke women's soccer team to find out why Gibbons is deserving of the award. Don't miss the attached video and make sure you vote each day through Nov. 21 to help the senior standout win the honor.

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School®, the Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.

Gibbons and the Blue Devils will host Illinois State in the second round of the NCAA Championships Friday, Nov. 18 at 6 p.m., at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C.
