"I am very proud of our men's team today! We fought hard and delivered a strong performance. This was excellent preparation for competing at UNC and gaining valuable experience ahead of the ACC Championships in two weeks at the same venue. I'm happy to wrap up our regular season, knowing our men's and women's teams are in a great spot. I can't wait to see how we perform in the postseason. Go Duke!" – Head coach Omar Elgeziry
