Duke welcomes Furman, Nebraska and No. 17 Oklahoma to Durham for the two-day event and is one of 15 programs nationwide featured as a host site. The winner from each site earns a trip to Madison, Wisc., to compete in the 2022 ITA National Team Indoor Championship, scheduled for Feb. 11-14.

All eight players – No. 15 Chloe Beck, Karolina Berankova, Margaryta Bilokin, Kelly Chen, No. 48 Ellie Coleman, No. 73 Georgia Drummy, No. 26 Emma Jackson and Eliza Omirou – are set to take the court for the Blue Devils.

The Opponents
Nebraska – Record: 1-0 | All-time series: Duke leads 1-0
The Cornhuskers enter the weekend following a 7-0 sweep of Creighton in their home opener. Nebraska and Duke meet for just the second time in their respective program histories. The lone meeting between the squads came in 1985, which the Blue Devils won 5-4.
Furman – Record: 3-1 | All-time series: Duke leads 14-0
Furman features two ranked singles players on its 2022 roster – senior Julia Adams (No. 45) and freshman Sara Snyder (No. 65). The Paladins are coming off a split road trip to Alabama, defeating UAB (5-2) before dropping a tight 3-4 decision to Auburn.
No. 17 Oklahoma – Record: 4-0 | All-time series: N/A
Most recently, Oklahoma completed a 2-0 home weekend that featured victories over South Carolina (5-2) and Tarleton State (7-0). The 17th-ranked Sooners sport four ranked players on the ITA singles rankings, led by No. 16 Layne Sleeth. Ivana Corley (83), Emma Staker (101) and Carmen Corley (105) are also featured on the list.
Duke and Oklahoma have never met in the history of the two programs.
Drummy Racking Up Awards
Following a strong performance over the weekend, senior Georgia Drummy was named the ACC Women's Tennis Player of the Week, as well as Duke's PNC Achievers Student-Athlete of the Week.
Drummy, the 73rd-ranked singles player in the country, aided the No. 6 Blue Devils to an unblemished mark in their home-opening weekend that featured wins over No. 10 Ohio State and No. 23 Princeton. She went 2-0 in the No. 1 spot in singles and posted wins over two top-10 opponents – No. 6 Irina Cantos Siemers of Ohio State (7-6 (5), 6-4) and Princeton's fourth-ranked Daria Frayman (6-3, 6-2).
The Dublin, Ireland native's win over Frayman Sunday afternoon tied the overall score at 2-2, shifting the momentum in Duke's favor, and was the first of three straight victories for the Blue Devils en route to clinching the match, 4-2.
Drummy also played in the No. 3 doubles slot alongside sophomore Karolina Berankova, with the pair posting a 6-1 victory over Princeton's Victoria Hu/Leena Bennetto to earn Duke's lone doubles win of the match.
Up Next:
Duke hits the road for the first of three straight dual matches, beginning with a trip to Greenville, S.C. for a matchup with the Furman Paladins on Saturday, Feb. 5 at 11 a.m.
