EDGE OF GLORY Coach K ties Bob Knight’s wins record with weekend victories

Zakaria to speak at May commencement

by Shucao Mo THE CHRONICLE

by Chris Cusack THE CHRONICLE

Bob Knight had a special message for Mike Krzyzewski when the two spoke during a prerecording of Duke head coach’s radio show earlier in the season. “[Knight] says to me, ‘Michael... will you tell your kids to win these next three games real quick,’” Krzyzewski said. “‘I’m getting tired of saying nice things about you.’”

International journalist Fareed Zakaria will return to Duke to address the Class of 2012 this Spring.

Fareed Zakaria, a CNN anchor, editor-at-large at Time magazine and columnist at The Washington Post, will deliver Duke’s commencement address May 13, President Richard Brodhead announced to a group of students Friday.

Although he earned an unFareed Zakaria dergraduate degree from Yale University and a master’s degree from Harvard University, Zakaria is not a stranger to Duke. He delivered the Ambassador S. Davis Phillips Lecture in Page Auditorium in 2009. Senior Daniel Bingyou, a member of the commencement speaker student advisory group, said he is very pleased with the speaker choice.

“Dr. Zakaria is a renowned foreign policy adviser, an accomplished journalist and a gifted speaker,” Bingyou wrote in an email Sunday. “His global influence and forward-thinking intellect will translate effectively to the commencement address and should provide ample inspiration for the graduating seniors as we prepare to take the next step in life.”

Zakaria hosts “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” an international and domestic affairs program viewed worldwide on CNN and is a former columnist for

Knight moved a step closer to his wish Saturday as the Blue Devils beat Presbyterian 96-55 at Cameron Indoor Stadium for Krzyzewski’s 902nd career head coaching victory. The win tied the him for the all-time NCAA Division I men’s basketball lead with Knight, his mentor and former coach at Army. Krzyzewski was Knight’s point guard at Army from 1967-69, graduating two years before Knight took over at SEE 902 ON SW 5 CHRIS DALL/THE CHRONICLE

DGHI approves two Student robbed near programs for DKU East Campus dorms

by Ashley Mooney THE CHRONICLE

Faculty from Duke Global Health Institute have approved undergraduate and graduate-level global health programs for Duke Kunshan University.

Two new global health programs to be offered at DKU were approved by DGHI faculty Friday, DGHI Deputy Director Randall Kramer said. The three-year pilot programs include undergraduate Global Health study abroad courses and a Master of Science in Global Health. The programs are expected to start Fall 2013, though DKU is slated to open Spring 2013. “[The programs] expand the repertoire of programs that we have commitments for in China during the early stages of the campus,” Provost Peter Lange said.

This is the second set of DKU programs to gain faculty endorsement. In October, faculty at the Fuqua School of Business approved a Master of Management Studies degree, in which students will spend their Spring term in Kunshan. The Fuqua MMS and the DGHI programs are pending approval by Academic Council.

The undergraduate module— four courses taken in one semester— includes core classes from the global health certificate program offered at Duke, as well as a language course, Kramer said.

An undergraduate student was robbed at about 1 a.m. Sunday on East Campus between Bassett and Brown residence halls.

The student was approached by two individuals who took an iPad and wallet, according to a Duke University Police Department release Sunday. The student was not injured, though the suspects indicated that they had a weapon.

The student described the suspects as black males, one wearing a white, hooded sweatshirt and one wearing a dark, hooded sweatshirt, according to the release.

The suspects were last seen running away from East Campus toward Buchanan and Markham streets.

Dailey declined to give the name or year

of the student involved to protect the student’s identity.

Students and faculty received a DukeAlert notification of the incident via email after 2 a.m. and those who registered for emergency mobile updates also received a text message.

Dailey said DUPD plans to address East Campus safety concerns by concentrating more patrols in the area and working closely with the Durham Police Department to identify the suspects.

DUPD will also increase the number of security officers stationed on East. Dailey said he plans to make some changes that will be less visible, noting that he could not specify what the changes will be in order to preserve their efficacy.

Kilner explains the overlooked beauty of war

by Yueran Zhang THE CHRONICLE

War can be beautiful, a U.S. Army officer said Friday.

Although loss of life is often the most emphasized part of military conflicts, a truly holistic depiction of war must consider both beauty and tragedy, said Lt. Col. Peter Kilner, assistant professor at the United States Military Academy.

Kilner added that the American public must reshape its understanding of war to confront the worsening crises faced by many veterans.

“Too often, powerfully tragic stories put [soldiers] on only one side.... They are afraid of being judged if they say that war has beauty,” Kilner said. “Soldiers have the belief that they fight for great calls—freedom, dignity, defending their homeland— something pretty profound. They sense that they are willing to give their lives to something greater than themselves.”

One example of war’s beauty is the camaraderie developed between soldiers and the sense of pride and loyalty that each soldier develops for his country, he noted.

Kilner was the keynote speaker at the After the Yellow Ribbon conference this weekend, which was held in honor of Veteran’s Day. The conference was organized by Milites Christi—a student-run organization of the Divinity School dedicated to engaging the armed forces and veterans with the church—and it was dedicated to facilitating unbiased conversations about issues affecting veterans such as substance abuse, homelessness, domestic abuse, divorce and suicide, among others. These

issues have been growing concerns for the all of society, Milites Christi co-President Logan Mehl-Laituri wrote in an email Wednesday.

Mehl-Laituri is also an Iraq War veteran and a second-year Master of Theological Studies candidate.

In his remarks, Kilner said that in order to de-politicize and re-humanize war and veterans, people must form balanced views of war by considering the positive stories of veterans along with the more negative ones. Otherwise, the mental wounds of veterans will never heal.

“When the society listens to veterans’ experiences, it’s better to ask about the good first,” Kilner said. “Recognizing the beauty made them more comfortable to talk about the ugliness—if people only care about the tragedy, veterans wouldn’t remember any good about war.”

Jeff Nelson, a second-year student at the Divinity School, also said that it is important to understand what veterans suffer within the larger context of the beauty and tragedy of war.

“When they come back [from war], they are automatically viewed as hero or evil,” Nelson said. “But what they need is someone who really knows what they are struggling with.”

War can offer a sense of purpose and cohesive relationships between soldiers— relationships that are impossible to experience outside the battlefield, Kilner said, adding that because the public generally views war only as violent, soldiers can hardly express the beauty of these relationships once home.

Not only does the society neglect the

beauty of war, it also generates misconceptions of the tragedy, he added.

“One thing that soldiers struggle about is not that they kill people, but that they see the senselessness of war,” Kilner said.

“They encounter a level of evil we will never face [outside the war].”

While living in the gap between a

beautiful sense of purpose and the ugly reality of casualties, soldiers can experience guilt and develop a fragmented sense of identity.

“War is noble in theory but not so noble in practice. Trying to make sense of evil and humanity at the same time can shatter their belief,” Kilner said.

ZAKARIA from page 1 Newsweek. He has also served as managing editor of Foreign Affairs magazine, an analyst for ABC News and editor of Newsweek International.

Beginning in March, the student advisory committee assisted Brodhead in selecting and evaluating potential commencement speakers for the Class of 2012, senior and committee member Arthur Leopold wrote in an email Sunday. The committee narrowed down a list of more than 100 potential speakers to find the best group. Brodhead made the ultimate decision to invite Zakaria.

“Our criteria consisted of objective credentials, breadth of appeal and logistical availability.” Bingyou said.

The list of finalists included two notable women—U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor and comedian and writer Tina Fey, Leopold said, noting that the advisory group was looking for a vibrant voice that could inspire students. Former President Bill Clinton and former football coach Tony Dungy were also strongly considered.

“It was discussed at length that recent past speakers were

THE CHRONICLE

dull, uninspiring and didn’t deliver a message that resonated with the ideal Duke student,” Leopold said. “Zakaria is a perfect choice to uplift the student body and impart his knowledge, wisdom and humor to students entering an ever globalized world.”

Brodhead also noted that Zakaria is a fitting speaker for Duke graduates.

“Zakaria is an outstandingly thoughtful analyst of the contemporary global world—the world our students will be inhabiting and shaping in their lives after Duke,” Brodhead wrote in an email Sunday. “Through his prize-winning journalism and important books, he helps us understand the new freedoms and perils, hopes and fears that are reshaping every modern society, including our own.”

After Duke’s commencement, Zakaria will travel to Harvard to speak at its graduation ceremony May 24.

Senior Christina Lieu, also a member of the advisory group, said Zakaria’s remarks at Harvard will not detract from his speech to be delivered here at Duke, given that his insights will be unique.

Zakaria is the author of several books, including “The PostAmerican World” and “The Future of Freedom,” which has

been translated into about 30 languages.

Zakaria, who was born in India, has interviewed many of the world’s most influential leaders, including President Barack Obama, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, British Prime Minister David Cameron and the Dalai Lama.

Brodhead said he hopes that Zakaria’s message will inspire students to live up to the challenges that the world outside Duke will present.

“Don’t try to live in a bubble after you graduate. In a world as connected as ours, there really aren’t any shelters,” Brodhead said. “Besides, if college prepares you for anything, it’s to face up to challenges and shape them in creative ways.”

Sophomore Steve Pierre-Jean, who heard Zakaria speak at his high school graduation from the Dalton School in 2010, said that in his remarks, Zakaria noted the particular significance of this young American generation.

“Fareed gave a great speech at my high school graduation, touching on the fact that our generation is significant in solving a lot of the problems in our world and that it’s our responsibility to be contributing members of society,” Pierre-Jean wrote in an email Sunday.

Kerr, Canepa lead Blue Devil blowout

NO-BOWL EFFORT

by Matt Pun THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils had no difficulties routing Radford to advance to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Top-seeded Duke did not hold back any firepower as it outshot the Big South champion Highlanders 25-1 to win its opening match 0 RU 5-0 at Koskinen Duke 5 Stadium Sunday, remaining undefeated at home this season.

In spite of Radford’s attempt to limit the Blue Devils’ scoring chances by playing a one-forward formation, Duke broke through early. Sophomore midfielder Kaitlyn Kerr received a through ball on the right side of the 18-yard box from junior defender Erin Koballa and dribbled toward the backline, chipping the ball over the Highlander goalkeeper to put the Blue Devils ahead.

“I just realized that they were bunkering in a lot,” Kerr said. “I’m a high center [midfielder], so I have to get forward earlier and quicker when they’re bunkering in.”

Toward the end of the first half, Duke’s offense struck again as senior forward Chelsea Canepa assisted two goals in a span of five minutes. First, she found a wide-open Kerr in the 18yard box who scored for a second time.

Moments later, Canepa set up another score for two first-year players in their first minutes of NCAA tournament action. She played a cross into Audrey Gibson, whose deflected header landed at the feet of Katie Trees. The freshman fired the ball into the net for her first career goal. “[Trees] is definitely going to be a player to watch for in the future,” Canepa said. “She’s

CHELSEA PIERONI/THE CHRONICLE

Kaitlyn Kerr scored the game’s first two goals en route to a 5-0 demolition of Radford Sunday.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — After his team’s fifth straight loss, usually loquacious head coach David Cutcliffe issued a terse opening statement.

“We left way too many plays on the field to win a ball game,” he said. “When you do that, it’s going to slip through your fingers, so it’s Duke 21 kind of as simple 31 as that.”

UVA Those plays cost Duke (3-7, 1-5 in the ACC) any chance it had of making its first bowl game since 1994 as the Blue Devils fell to Virginia 31-21 in an intensely physical game. The loss—and the painful reality that this was just one of four losses in which the team had a realistic shot to win in the fourth quarter—overshadowed Donovan Varner’s record-setting day.

Varner, who caught seven passes for 132 yards and a touchdown, broke Clarkston Hines’s Duke record of 189 career receptions. Varner also tied his former receivers’ coach Scottie Montgomery by making

a catch in his 35th consecutive game.

“It means a lot to me,” Varner said of breaking Hines’s record. “But it’s a bittersweet moment because we lost a tough game.... It definitely hurts because all I’ve dreamed of since a freshman is going to a bowl game, and I never got a chance to get there.”

In a game marred by visible verbal sparring and physical confrontations after the whistle, which Cutcliffe euphemistically called “extracurriculars,” the Cavaliers (73, 4-2) were able to beat Duke at the line of scrimmage. They shut down the Blue Devils’ rushing attack and powered for 165 yards of their own on the ground. Although Virginia registered only one sack, the Cavaliers’ prowess at the line of scrimmage was evident in the passing game as well, as quarterback Sean Renfree faced consistent pressure in the pocket.

“We had a number of injuries early,” Cutcliffe said. “[Starting left tackle] Kyle Hill, I will mention, was a significant injury, and he will be out for the season.”

Hill’s absence was particularly noticeable SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 8

Blue Devils fall just short in upset bid

Missed assignments cost Duke a bowl

by Michael Baker THE CHRONICLE

After a tough 2-1 loss to North Carolina in the ACC championship, Duke wasted no time preparing for this weekend’s NCAA run. But after a resounding 5-0 victory over Stanford Saturday in the first round of the tournament, the Blue Devils suffered a season-ending 2-1 loss to Old DominDuke 5 ion in the quarterfithe next day.

Stan. 0 nalsThe 10th-seeded Blue Devils entered Duke 1 ready to face the seventh-seeded Car2 ODU dinal. Duke wasted no time, scoring in the second minute en route to a 5-0 trouncing of Stanford to advance to the next round.

“After the ACC championship, we were very frustrated with the fact that we didn’t generate the attack that we had been generating,” head coach Pam Bustin said.

“This week in practice, we really did work on our strength, which is our midfield....

I think the connection between our mids and forwards was exceptional.”

Junior midfielder Devon Gagliardi scored first with an unassisted strike from the middle of the circle. The rest of the first half remained scoreless despite seven shots on goal for the Blue Devils and three for the Cardinal.

The second half had a marked change in tempo right off the bat. Emmie Le Marchand struck in the 35th minute off an

assist from Gagliardi. The sophomore added another goal in the 53rd minute off a deflected pass from classmate Caashia Karringten. Duke cemented its dominant win with two goals in the final 10 minutes. One came from McKay Ross and the final from Le Marchand, who completed her hat trick off another Karringten pass.

The Blue Devil defense had been dominant all season, and Saturday’s game saw more of the same as Duke recorded its seventh shutout of the year. Redshirt senior goalie Samantha Nelson made five saves, and Blue Devil defenders were able to neutralize Stanford’s attack.

“Our defensive structure in general has been strong all season, and I think we were familiar with their methods in gaining attack,” Bustin said. “They have a lot of forwards that they interchange and are pretty quick. I think our structure and preparation were able to keep their attack at bay.”

Coming off such a resounding victory, Duke was able to maintain the high intensity against the second-seeded Monarchs, keeping the game scoreless in the first stanza.

“We were able to play our game today,” Bustin said. “There were times when Old Dominion got the upper hand in the game’s tempo, but we were able to come back and regain some composure.”

In the second stanza, though, the Monarchs started to take more control SEE FIELD HOCKEY ON PAGE 8

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — With a 31-21 loss Saturday at Virginia, the Blue Devils fell to 3-7 and out of contention for a bowl game, failing to accomplish what Cutcliffe claimed was one of the team’s maGame jor goals coming into season.

Analysis the“Well obviously, you always at the start of a season want to be a bowl team,” Cutcliffe said. “You want to compete for championships, you want to have a winning record at home, you have a lot of things that can come and go as goals. But the most significant goal is to get better every week, and we’ll never let that go. Never ever.”

While Duke failed to convert a few opportunities—Will Snyderwine had a 25 yard field goal attempt blocked in the first quarter and missed wide left on a 34-yarder in the fourth quarter—this game, and the season, have come down to a defense that cannot stop opposing offenses from making plays in crucial spots.

On multiple occasions, the Duke secondary missed assignments. The score could have been much worse had Virginia quarterback Michael Rocco been more accurate. During Virginia’s second to last drive of the first half, while trailing 14-7, wide-receiver Darius Jennings twice beat his defender over the

top for what could have been game-tying touchdown passes.

On both plays, though, Rocco overthrew his intended target by 10 yards. A key first down on the drive was secured after Rocco hit a wide-open Perry Jones for 14 on a third and eight around midfield.

The Cavaliers scored a touchdown on the drive and tied the game going into the half, but even that was only because Johnny Williams failed to wrap up Kris Burd and allowed what could have been a five or six yard catch to become a 38-yard touchdown reception.

“We just had some missed assignments,” Cutcliffe said. “I thought there was a period where we got a little tired.... It wasn’t any big breakdown. It was just a matter of being where you’ve got to be.”

The Duke front seven—missing linebacker Kelby Brown and without Jordan DeWaltOndijo for the end of the third and all of the fourth quarter—did not play much better. Aside from failing to get any pressure on Rocco, recording zero sacks, the Blue Devils allowed the Cavalier backfield duo of Jones and Kevin Parks to rack up 152 yards on the ground, consistently moving the chains and wearing down the defense.

The offense was not without struggles of its own. Renfree had 303 yards through the air with a touchdown and Donovan Varner— who took sole possession atop Blue Devil receivers with 194 career receptions—caught SEE ANALYSIS ON PAGE 8

Big men shine

by Andrew Beaton THE CHRONICLE

With just over eight minutes remaining in Saturday’s win over Presbyterian, Coach K Court shook after a Miles Plumlee dunk put Duke ahead by 40 points. Less than a minute later, the volume increased when Mason Plumlee threw down a reverse slam of his own.

The 96-55 victory was domGame inated by moments like these, which the veteran Blue Analysis in Devil frontcourt controlled the area beneath the basket, outscoring the Blue Hose 40-16 in the paint.

Starting forwards Miles and Mason Plumlee each scored 13 points and combined for 19 rebounds in Miles’ first double-double since his sophomore season. Presbyterian (1-1) registered only 24 rebounds as a team.

“Their inside game was tremendous,” Blue Hose head coach Gregg Nibert said. “I wish I had a zone or something else in there to stop something, but it was like going to a knife fight with a toothpick.”

The two starting big men missed only five shots between them, going 12-of-17 from the field, although they struggled mightily at the charity stripe, making only 2-of-11 free throw attempts. They displayed a wide array of backto-the-basket post moves, keeping Al’lonzo Coleman and Jay Reynolds—their primary

Blue Devils survive after blowing 16-point second-half lead

by Scott Rich THE CHRONICLE

The mood in Duke’s locker room following a 77-76 victory over Belmont could be characterized by one word—relief.

For head coach Mike Krzyzewski, his 901st victory was defined not by the nearupset, but rather by the maturity his team gained via a close call early in the season.

“I’m really proud of our guys, because once the game pressure was on us we grew up a lot tonight,” Krzyzewski said. “You can’t practice a situation like that. Good teams put you in those situations and Belmont is a really good basketball team.”

The No. 6 Blue Devils claimed an imposing 16-point lead with 14:19 left in the second half following a 12-point run spurred by the outside shooting of Seth Curry, Austin Rivers and Tyler Thornton. But an experienced Bruin squad responded with its own run of 3-point shooting, and within seven minutes cut the Duke lead down to two.

While the Blue Devils stretched the lead back to eight with under four minutes remaining, the unexpected pressure in the season’s opening game led to sloppy play, allowing Belmont to remain in the game throughout the final minutes. Duke allowed three offensive rebounds, including two off missed free throws, in a span of 50 seconds that cut an eight-point lead to four.

Three Blue Devil turnovers later, Belmont was down a single point.

“Second shots for threes and the second shots in the last few minutes off of free throws—if we had lost the game, that would’ve been the reason,” Krzyzewski said.

The adversity brought about by those self-inflicted wounds, though, allowed three players to step up into the limelight. Andre Dawkins hit a deep three with twenty seconds remaining to give Duke a two-possession lead, and Thornton and Ryan Kelly each hit clutch free throws to secure the victory.

“Thornton was great, with his two free throws and exuberant play,” Krzyzewski said. “Andre’s shot was obviously a big-time shot and it was pure. And Ryan going up there and hitting the two free throws is just huge.”

Rivers, meanwhile, showed flashes of his explosive offensive ability, but struggled with his consistency as he adjusted to the pace of the college game.

The freshman was aggressive early, attacking the basket and earning his way to the free throw stripe four times in the first half. That aggression came with a price, as Rivers turned the ball over three times and had no assists in the opening half.

The second half was a different story, with Rivers shooting only two free throws after tempering his attack. He finished

with 16 points, tied with Curry for the team lead, but did so on 3-for-9 shooting.

“That’s one thing I have to keep learning,” Rivers said of his consistency. “That’s my first game as a college basketball player, to take and move forward with. I have to keep being aggressive. And it’s not just to score…. When you’ve got shooters like Tyler, [Andre] and Seth, I have to keep being aggressive to get my team some threes.”

Krzyzewski was happy with Rivers’ debut, especially his defensive effort against the Bruins’ quick guards, but recognized that he has to learn how to read college defenses once he penetrates the lane.

“The thing he has to react to, he’s not accustomed when he drives to kick,” Krzyzewski said. “Against a converging defense like this, that was his biggest mistake tonight... but I thought he played well.”

It certainly was not a perfect performance for Rivers and the Duke team. But weathering the storm of an upset-minded Belmont squad early in the season seems to have jumpstarted the Blue Devils’ maturation.

And for Krzyzewski, that was the most important result of the game, and not the relief of victory.

“The only way to get mature is to play,” Krzyzewski said. “We had to be very good tonight to win, and we’ll be a lot better after tonight.”

in win over Presbyterian defenders—off balance down low.

That pair of Presbyterian forwards also had to contend with Ryan Kelly off the bench, who dropped a game-high 17 points in a similar display of offensive efficiency. In a span of less than two minutes in the first half, the junior showcased his versatility with a dunk, a layup and then a three-pointer on which he was fouled on and converted into a four-point play.

“We took good shots, we were strong with the ball, our guards made good passes to us and we finished around the basket,” Kelly said. “It’s something we felt like we had really improved since last year.”

The strong performance on the inside manifested itself on both ends of the floor, keeping Coleman and Reynolds to a total of 13 points on 4-of-15 shooting, with each committing three turnovers. Coleman’s struggles were particularly noteworthy, as the forward notched 21 points in a season opening performance against Montreat.

Duke (2-0) finished with 27 points off of turn-

overs while the Blue Hose scored just eight.

“The defense was the biggest thing,” Miles Plumlee said. “I think that’s what made our offense go so well—when we’re working together on defense, we’re going to play together on the other end.”

This was in stark contrast to the team’s first game of the season, less than 24 hours prior against Belmont, in which the front court surrendered 40 points in the paint and scored 16 fewer. The Blue Devils received significant contributions from their perimeter players as well Saturday, with Austin Rivers, Seth Curry and Quinn Cook all posting double figures.

The post players, though, set the tone for all facets of the offense with their physical play and 13 offensive rebounds.

For Duke to remain undefeated, it must continue the trend of inside-improvement against a Michigan State squad that outscored North Carolina in the paint in its season opening loss this weekend. The Blue Devils face the Spartans on Tuesday in Madison Square Garden as head coach Mike Krzyzewski looks for his record breaking 903rd career win.

“These two games in a row we made improvements from where we were before that, and we’ll have another big test on Tuesday,” Kelly said. “We feel like we can get better every single day. We have a high ceiling.”

Indiana, which he coached to 662 wins in 29 years. Krzyzewski served as a graduate assistant under Knight with the Hoosiers in 1975 before returning to West Point to become head coach at Army.

“It’s kind of neat to have that relationship with him,” Krzyzewski said. “We have a very loving, strong friendship. He’s had such an influence on my coaching career.

No question about it.”

Krzyzewski now owns a career record of 902-284, 829-225 in his 32 seasons with the Blue Devils. His first chance at a record-breaking 903rd victory comes Tuesday against Michigan State at Madison Square Garden.

“It’s kind of hard to believe, really,” Krzyzewski said. “We only won 38 games in my first three years. [Since then] we’ve had seasons where we’ve won almost that many.”

The Blue Devils have won 69 games since the beginning of the 2009-10 season, a feat that took over four seasons to accomplish upon Krzyzewski’s arrival prior to the 1980-81 season.

After Saturday’s win over the Blue Hose, Krzyzewski was mobbed by his team after he finished a postgame interview, forming an impromptu celebratory huddle on the court across from the visitor’s bench.

“Whenever an individual coaching honor occurs, it’s because of your players and

your assistants and the infrastructure you build,” Krzyzewski said. “You’re just a recipient of a lot of good things then because you’re the head of it. Good players and unselfish kids win a lot of ballgames.”

Six Duke players scored in double figures against Presbyterian, which was picked in the preseason to finish seventh in the Big South conference. Ryan Kelly combined with Mason and Miles Plumlee to make 17of-25 field goal attempts for 43 points.

Kelly led all scorers with 17 points on 5-of-8 shooting off the bench. “[Krzyzewski] approaches each game individually,” Kelly, who helped organize the on-court team celebration after the game, said. “He’s worried about our team winning. Numbers are something he’ll worry about when he’s done with his coaching career, but for now we’re just worrying about ourselves.”

The Blue Devils committed just 10 turnovers against the Blue Hose—compared to 19 in Friday’s game—largely behind the improved play of Austin Rivers, who had five against Belmont, but none the next day.

The freshman also had six assists against Presbyterian, a marked improvement of the type Krzyzewski is most focused on at this point in the season—even over his impending record-breaking victory.

“I’m not minimizing it, but [breaking the record] really will happen,” Krzyzewski said. “The development of my team will only happen right now.”

Blue Devils upset â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Noles

Morgan to run Duke fights at NCAA meet off Cougars

First conference loss for FSU

by Hunter Nisonoff THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils had just come off one of their worst losses of the season. Now they found themselves down 17-9 in a crucial third set against an even stronger opponent. Instead of folding, though, Duke went on a 12-0 run and took the set behind the play of Christiana Gray and Sophia Dunworth.

The Blue Devils (18-8, 12-5 in the ACC) upset Florida State (24-5, 15-1) in a five-set 252 FSU 20, 14-25, 25-20 22-25, 15-7 win at Duke 3 Cameron Indoor Stadium. With the win, Duke put an end to the No. 17 Seminolesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; undefeated conference record.

Despite being swept by Miami last Thursday, the Blue Devils were able to recover and improve in one of the toughest matches of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we responded really well to the loss and figured things out and made something out of it,â&#x20AC;? Dunworth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we realized what an incredible opportunity we had to take a win off of a team that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost in the ACC.â&#x20AC;?

After winning the first set 25-20, the Blue Devils were held to a mere .030 hitting percentage in the second set.

Florida State carried that momentum deep into the third set before Duke responded with the 12-0 run that would carry them to victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel that we really performed on Thursday night,â&#x20AC;? Nagel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it motivated the team and I am really proud of them for having the courage to come out and compete against them like they did today because they could have easily backed down.â&#x20AC;?The Blue Devils had to continue to fight in order to keep hold of the victory.

The fourth set was back-and-forth and despite tying it up at 20, Florida State eked out a 25-22 win.

The Blue Devils maintained their intensity and rebounded to secure a quick 15-7 win in the fifth and final set, ending the match.

The victory was truly a team effort as Dunworth, Gray, Chelsea Cook and freshman Jeme Obeime all reached double-digit kills, and Kellie Catanach setted 54 assists.

The win was an especially important one for the Blue Devils who are fighting for a spot in the NCAA tournament. And with a win against Florida State, they proved their ability to handle top competition.

THE CHRONICLE

Despite their high hopes, neither the Blue Devil men nor the women were able to secure a team bid to the NCAA championship meet as they finished in sixth and fifth, respectively, at the NCAA Southeast Regional in Louisville, Ky. But for one Duke runner, the results were different.

Junior Madeline Morgan entered the meet confident after her performance at the conference championships, where she finished in 11th place to earn All-ACC honors. She continued her streak of success Saturday when she finished in the top-10 to earn All-Southeast Region honors and become the only Blue Devil runner on either team to qualify for nationals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt pretty good coming out of ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what to expect in terms of placeâ&#x20AC;Ś. I was just going to try to stay towards the front and see what happened.â&#x20AC;?

Although the race went out of the gate quickly, Morgan maintained a conservative pace, picking off the other runners one by one as their fast starts caught up with them. When she reached the finish line six kilometers later, she had moved up to sixth place, 18 spots ahead of the closest Duke runner, senior Suejin Ahn. Morgan was not the only Blue Devil who performed at a high level this past weekend, though. Ahn, who took 24th overall and earned All-Southeast Region honors as well, came in second for Duke. Freshmen Julianna Miller and Colleen Schmidt followed in 41st and 52nd place, respectively, while senior Esther Vermeer and sophomore Amanda Truelove took the last two spots for Duke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to be going out there with my whole team,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was very encouraging andâ&#x20AC;Ś genuinely happy for me.â&#x20AC;?

None of the Blue Devil men in the 10-kilometer race were able to match Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. Although the team finish fell short of its goal, head coach Norm Ogilvie was not disappointed with the individual performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They finished right around where everyone was expecting,â&#x20AC;? Ogilvie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a good day, not a spectacular day. We certainly had hopes that we would finish higher, but sometimes that just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.â&#x20AC;?

The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frontrunner, senior Andrew Brodeur, ran the best race of his career to take All-Southeast Region honors with his 21st-place finish. Like Morgan, Brodeur had gone into the regional meet off a strong performance at ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s,

In their first game of the year, the Blue Devils overcame 2,000 miles of travel and a staunch Brigham Young defense to pass a difficult season-opening test.

Sophomore Chelsea Gray led Duke in the win, scoring 13 of her game-high 15 points in the second half. No. 8 Duke trailed the Cougars early in the second period, but the Blue Devils (1-0) rallied to take the lead and eventually escape Provo, Utah with a 61-55 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are definitely a work in Duke 61 progress,â&#x20AC;? Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one 55 thing to play exhibitions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anBYU other thing to play a game after having to get up at 4 a.m. and travel across the country.â&#x20AC;?

The Blue Devils held on to the lead for most of the game but could not shake the Cougars (0-1), who battled back every time Duke seemed to gain momentum. The Blue Devils took an early 16-7 lead with 11 unanswered points, only to see Brigham Young answer with five consecutive points.

Duke then went on another run to take a 23-12 lead but saw three straight Cougar baskets cut their lead to three.

Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play in the second half sparked the Duke offense and was a crucial part of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory. Brigham Young twice fought to within three points late in the game, and both times Gray came up with a basket to keep the Blue Devils in control. She also hit three free throws in the final minute to help secure the win.

Brigham Young turnovers were also key in Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victoryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Blue Devils scored 24 points off of 22 Cougar turnovers.

Gray led the game with six steals but credited sophomore Chloe Wells, who had three steals herself, with helping force those turnovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chloe Wells did an amazing job of pressuring the ball, so that allowed me to get in the passing lane,â&#x20AC;?

Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attack the guard like she did, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gotten as many steals as I did.â&#x20AC;?

Duke turned it over as well, though, losing the ball 17 times in the face of a spirited Cougar defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively, we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stellar,â&#x20AC;? head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We improved in the second half and improved enough to get the job done. It will be a great teaching film.â&#x20AC;?

McCallie will also work with her team on rebounding after allowing 15 rebounds to Brigham Young senior guard Haley Steed. Steed, listed at 5-foot-4, grabbed three times as many boards as the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next best rebounders, Gray and freshman Elizabeth Williams, who each had five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To see a guard get 15 reboundsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unheard of.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to explain that,â&#x20AC;? McCallie said.

Although the Blue Devil team has room to improve before their next game, Brigham Young head coach Jeff Judkins walked away from the game impressed with what he saw and considered this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team superior to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elite Eight squad. The Cougars faced Duke in Cameron Indoor Stadium last season, where Brigham Young fell 69-54.

The Blue Devils have all week to prepare for their next contest, as they will host Auburn Friday.

MEN’S SOCCER

Duke falls in semis

by Tom Gieryn THE CHRONICLE

In tense, back-and-forth matches, talent is often not the deciding factor. With plenty of talent on the field, will to win becomes critical.

No. 24 Duke (10-7-3, 4-3-1 in the ACC) brought plenty of talent to WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, Duke 1 N.C. Friday night, but ultimately fell 2 BC 2-1 to No. 13 Boston College (14-6-0, 4-4-0) in the ACC tournament semifinal.

In a tense playoff atmosphere, neither team was able to maintain momentum early in the match.

“Everyone’s nervous at the beginning of the game,” Kerr said. “Nobody could really get their foot on the ball and keep possession.”

Duke earned the game’s first corner kick in the fifteenth minute and provided a postseason surprise by sending senior defender Joe Pak—who had not taken a corner kick this season—forward to play the service. Until then, the team had scored just two goals on its 110 corners up to that point.

“The other two corner kick takers weren’t doing the job,” Kerr said, “so I had to find somebody else.”

Pak’s kick arced toward the near post, where Eagle goalkeeper Justin Luthy was unable to corral it. The ball bounced free in front of the net, where it was found by Duke freshman Nat Eggleston, who blasted his first touch off the bottom of the crossbar and into the back of the net to give his team an early one-goal lead.

After the goal, Boston College began

to discover some offensive rhythm of its own. In the 24th minute, junior Colin Murphy received a pass from the right corner and used his first touch to play a perfect cross to the back post. Senior Abit Aburmad was lurking behind Belshaw, and he volleyed the service into the goal to even the score.

After the intermission, it was Duke’s turn to gain some momentum. Despite four shots and three corner kicks in the period, though, the Blue Devils could not come up with a go-ahead goal.

“They put fantastic pressure on us,” said forward Andrew Wenger, who was recently named ACC offensive player of the year.

It was also no help that the contest was Wenger’s first back at the center forward position after two games in the back, where he was moved to replace defender Sebastien Ibeagha. Ibeagha had received his second red card of the season Nov. 1, and had to sit the next two games as a result.

“Every time you change positions, it’s a little tricky,” Wenger said. “But I should have done better with it.”

Kerr also praised his team’s defensive play in the second half, but one lapse in was all Boston College needed. In the 65th minute, a Bekker corner kick found Medina-Mendez at the near post, and he converted. Despite opportunities to equalize, Duke could not find an answer for the aggressiveness of Eagle goalkeeper Luthy.

“I didn’t think that we were outplayed,” Pak said. “I don’t think we completely outplayed them. It was just a matter of will, and it just wasn’t there tonight.”

going to be on the end of many goals, and this is just one of many to come. So, it was good for her to get that goal now. That’ll build confidence for later games.”

Having scored just one first-half goal in its previous seven games, Duke entered Sunday’s match with an emphasis on avoiding slow starts. The Blue Devils dismissed any doubts about their ability to score early in games by taking a 3-0 halftime lead.

“We’ve been preparing for this game for over a week now, so we just wanted to take it to them as soon as we could.” Kerr said.

Duke’s continued dominance of possession kept the Highlanders from even attempting a shot until midway through the second period.

“We pressured them so that they couldn’t get a rhythm of play and they couldn’t play the balls into their players,” head coach Robbie Church said.

“It made the job a little bit easier for our backs and our goalkeepers.”

Although Radford goalkeeper Che’ Brown came in after halftime as a substitute to make six saves, the Blue Devils made one final push to extend their lead by two.

Redshirt sophomore forward Callie Simpkins scored her second goal of the season off a corner kick from sophomore forward Mollie Pathman, and Canepa rounded out her stat sheet by putting in a goal of her own in the 88th minute.

“I think we learned from our [ACC tournament] loss against Wake Forest and came out with a different attitude,” freshman forward Kelly Cobb said.

“We’re making a statement to the nation about what we’re coming to do in this tournament.”

seven passes for 132 yards and a score.

But even they came up short at times. Varner had a few key drops, including a potential touchdown pass with just over nine minutes left and Duke down by 10. And Renfree, on the first drive of the second half with both teams knotted at 14, telegraphed a pass intended for Desmond Scott that Chase Minnifield stepped in front of and returned 54 yards for a pick six.

While the aerial was effective against the Cavalier secondary, Duke failed to establish any semblance of a rushing attack, gaining only 34 yards on 29 carries. Duke consistently faced thirdand-longs—needing over five yards, on average, on third down—because of short runs on first and second down.

The result was 6-for-18 on third down conversion attempts.

Regardless, 21 points could have been enough with a stronger defensive effort. But the defense, which ranks 11th in the ACC in both scoring and total yards allowed, could not stop the Cavaliers when they needed to.

With two games left, though—at home against No. 21 Georgia Tech this Saturday and at North Carolina Nov. 26—Duke still has a chance to end its season on a positive note.

“We want to play our best two football games the last two games of the year, and we’re capable of doing that,” Cutcliffe said. “Character is a willingness to prepare, it’s a willingness to be where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing, as well as you can do it. Period. And that’s why our team has character, and I will always believe in them.”

on one of the game’s pivotal plays as the Cavaliers’ Cam Johnson was able to beat backup tackle Takoby Cofield on the edge and force Renfree to throw off his back foot on a play-action pass to Desmond Scott. Chris Minnifield read the throw and was able to cut in front of the pass and take his interception all the way for the score, giving Virginia a 21-14 lead.

Although Duke was able to strike back on the ensuing possession, the Blue Devils had lost an opportunity to retake the lead and build momentum. After the Blue Devils’ offense tied the game, however, the defense—which was without second-leading tackler Kelby Brown—began to wear down.

It surrendered points on Virginia’s next two possessions giving the Cavaliers a tenpoint lead. Still, the offense had chances, but dropped passes and a missed field goal prevented Duke from closing the gap.

“I thought there was a period we got a little tired,” Cutcliffe said of the defense’s second-half struggles. “It wasn’t any big breakdown. It was just a matter of being where you’ve got to be.... I’m not talking about just offense [that missed out on opportunities to make big plays]. Both sides of the ball you leave some plays on the field, and you get beat.”

where he also took All-ACC honors. He was the only Duke runner to break into the top25 at the Regional meet, but his teammates junior Domenick DeMatteo, senior Stephen Clark and sophomore Brian Atkinson also turned out strong performances, all finishing within two seconds of each other. Freshman Morgan Pearson finished just 12 seconds later at his first NCAA Regional meet.

“We went out there and tried our best,” Brodeur said, “but sometimes your best just isn’t enough.”

FIELD HOCKEY from page 3 of the game. The Monarchs opened the scoring in the 41st minute of the second stanza with a shot from Rebecca Condie off a penalty corner.

Duke responded with a goal from junior Mary Nielsen 11 minutes later off a penaltycorner assist from senior Rhian Jones.

Neither team was able to break through until Old Dominion notched a goal with just 7:20 left in the game. The Monarchs earned a penalty corner late in the second half and made several passes to Kelsey Smither who setup a pass to Kati Nearhouse who netted the game-winner, ending the Blue Devils’ season.

I’m a leader and I can prove it

L

ike all desperate seniors, I’ve spent a lot of time during the past few months interviewing for ways to feed myself. I can now confidently state that everything you need to know about interviewing can be expressed in three words: Be a leader.

That’s because your interviewers are going to ask if you are a leader, and they want you to say “yes,” and mean it when you say it. You wouldn’t connor southard lie to someone from McKindead poet sey, would you? That would so not be quality.

Problem is, not all of us are traditional leaders. Sure, it’s easy for the DSG president or the First Comrade of Occupy Duke to show that he or she is a leader. But how do the rest of us prove to our interviewers that we have what it takes to present a PowerPoint and/or pitch, like, six tents?

The last time I formally led anything was during my term as Premier of the “No Girls and Also No Tyler’s Little Brother Club.” And even that didn’t go so well. Only 90 minutes into my reign, I was ousted in a coup orchestrated by Jason Fitzwilliam. Fitzy turned my deputies against me by promising all of them at least two boxes of Gushers.

Don’t talk to me about those Gushers.

Anyway, instead of getting all bitter about my Perryesque inability to outmaneuver my competitors, I’ve come up with three creative ways to be a leader that don’t require you to be voted for or have any kind of cause.

1) Shape campus discourse A few weeks ago, an administrator—yes, an actual administrator—told me that he had read one of my columns. When I asked him which one he read and if he liked it, he seemed reluctant to pinpoint a specific piece.

“They’re all interesting,” he said. I just had to know which of my columns this distinguished fellow liked, so I pushed him. “The one about Occupy Duke,” he said. I tried to tell him that, at that point, I was the only columnist who hadn’t written a word about Occupy Duke. But before I could get that out, he had darted across the room to talk to another actual administrator.

This exchange convinced me that I needed to write something about Occupy Duke, which I did. In so doing, I did more than just shape campus discourse and act as a voice for students. I bent campus discourse to my will and told students what to think. My column even got Facebook recommended by a few people. And we all know there’s a direct correlation between how many recommends you have on The Chronicle website and how much of a leader you are.

2) Lead your friends home The single most heroic moment of my life is the time I carried a buddy of mine home from a pub. We were studying abroad in England, and I vaguely recall thinking about how this scene—him slung over my shoulder, saying he just wanted to go home—looked like something from a WWII movie. Except that my dear friend spent most of the walk back to our digs belting out a poorly memorized a cappella version of “Candle in the Wind.”

“Like a handle full of gin … ” Great leaders always stay a tad less drunk than their friends. Well, except for Winston Churchill.

3) Eff leading, get money Get a job with a famous company, preferably the kind of company you can get rich working for. You could also consider working for a company with great “exit opportunities”—that’s another way of saying “you’ll eventually get rich if you work for us and avoid getting indicted.”

Other people are probably better at telling you how to go about doing this than I am, but here’s one tip I can give you: Once you start working for this kind of company, just shut up and do as you’re told for 100 hours each week. What, you think you make money by disobeying the people who have the money? This isn’t “The Social Network,” kid.

If what I just described doesn’t sound like “leadership” to you, you clearly don’t understand what your interviewers are asking for.

ROBBERY from page 1 “This kind of crime is very hard to intervene,” Vice President for Student Affairs Larry Moneta said. “It’s obviously a crime of opportunity.... I know how hard it is to identify the particular areas that one can increase security around because crimes like these can happen almost anywhere.”

Muggings are one of the more common crimes that happen on and around campus,

Moneta said. He added that the University is staying in touch with the student who was robbed in order to provide continued support after the incident.

Freshman Addison Navarro was walking on the East Campus Main Quadrangle at about 1 a.m., though she said she did not notice a disturbance.

“I was walking on the sidewalk, and I was on the phone, so I wasn’t really looking around me,” Navarro said. “But I didn’t see anything or hear anything either.”

DGHI from page 1 the program. DKU will offer the module once a year.

“The undergraduate program would target Chinese undergraduates who want to spend a semester studying global health and Duke undergraduates and undergraduates from other U.S., European and Asian universities interested in a study abroad opportunity,” Kramer wrote in an email Sunday. “This will provide a diverse student body and a rich global context in which to study global health.”

The master’s program is identical to Duke’s Master of Science in Global Health program. Both involve the same courses and fieldwork requirements, Kramer said. The program targets Chinese and other Asian learners.

“We expect that applicants to the master’s program will include researchers, policymakers, advisers, medical doctors, recent bachelor graduates and students planning to pursue doctoral studies in a global health-related discipline,” Kramer said.

Overall, DGHI anticipates that approximately half the students enrolled in the programs will be from China and half from other countries, Kramer noted. In the first year, DGHI plans to enroll 30 students in the undergraduate program and 20 in the master’s program.

DGHI faculty developed the programs while considering conversations with faculty, administrators and students from numerous Chinese universities. Kramer noted that Duke is already collaborating with Fudan University, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Wuhan University—DKU’s legal partner in China.

“We already offer a two-week global health diploma program at Peking Uni-

versity each summer,” Kramer said. “Having a physical location in China at DKU will enable DGHI to further grow those collaborations.”

In 2013, DGHI also plans to establish a Global Health Research Center at DKU, Kramer said. The center will emphasize three thematic areas—chronic disease, health systems and environmental health.

“This will provide a research hub to deepen our existing research collaborations with several Chinese universities,” he said. “The center will support the research activity of DGHI faculty residing in Kunshan as well as faculty visiting from Durham.”

DGHI Director Michael Merson, who also serves as the interim vice president and vice provost for the Office of Global Strategy and Programs, noted the importance of the center for students. “[The center allows] us the opportunity to expand our efforts to provide education in global health to students from China and other countries around the world, consistent with our [DGHI]’s mission of educating and training future leaders in our field,” Merson said.
