Quotes
"We survived. We didn't play great. I thought we competed well. It was our first outdoor match and in tough conditions -- 52 degrees or 15 mile per hour winds. That definitely plays as a little bit of an equalizer, but I thought Virginia Tech played really well. I thought they competed well and they kept believing and believing and believing until the very end. When we needed to come up with some shots, we were able to do that and get out get out of here with a win, which, at the end of the day is the most important thing." -- Duke head coach Jamie Ashworth
Next Match
Duke will close the weekend by traveling to Charlottesville, Va., on Sunday, Feb. 26 for a 1 p.m., match against No. 20 Virginia.
