TWO OF THE GREATEST IN DIVISION I

WELCOME BACK ONE OF THE DWL GREATS
Duke Athletics Hall of Fame honoree Katie Chrest Erbe is heading back to Durham this weekend in a new role - color analyst for Duke's game against Virginia. The 2005 Tewaaraton Trophy winner, Chrest Erbe helped Duke to a four-year ledger of 61-18 with three ACC regular season championships, one ACC Tournament title and four NCAA Tournament berths including two appearances in the Final Four. The first player in ACC history to garner Rookie of the Year, Player of the Year and Tournament MVP honors, Chrest Erbe established the program's single-season record for total points with 96 in 2005 and graduated as the school's all-time leader in both goals (216) and points (287). She went on to help the United States to the 2009 Federation of International Lacrosse world championship.
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
Duke has four games left in the regular season and is looking to close out one of its best performances in recent history. Following Saturday's contest against Virginia, the Blue Devils will travel to Virginia Tech (April 7) before their final home game Saturday April 16 against No. 2 Boston College. Duke will honor its seniors before the regular-season finale at No. 1 North Carolina (April 21). Duke is set for its toughest stretch of games so far this season with all four remaining teams either being ranked or receiving votes.
