Kelly nets 36 to lead Duke past Miami Cuts could

limit Duke research

by Michael Schreiner THE CHRONICLE

The two hottest topics leading into Saturday’s game against Miami were the return date of Ryan Kelly and Duke’s chance at revenge against the Hurricanes.

Would the Blue Devils be able to redeem themselves after losing by 27 points to Miami in January? When would Kelly return, and would he be effective when he did?

Kelly answered both of those questions.

Led by Kelly’s 36 points, No. 3 Duke (25-4, 12-4 in the ACC) recovered from a slow start and survived a late rally to beat No. 5 Miami (23-5, 14-2) 79-76 in a game that came down to the final shot.

“We were all privileged to see one of the performances of the ages, I think, by Ryan Kelly,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “[It was] probably as good of a performance as any Duke player has had at Cameron.”

Kelly shined in his return to the Blue Devils team that Krzyzewski said had been “surviving” in his absence. The senior single-handedly kept the Blue Devils in the game in the first half, going 5-for-7 from beyond the arc to score 19 points in his 15

Automatic federal budget cuts triggered Friday may pose a threat to funding for some areas of Duke research.

President Barack Obama and other Democrats did not reach a budgetary agreement with congressional Republicans on a method to avoid an automatic sequester by the March 1 deadline. This caused large-scale spending cuts totaling $85 billion across many sectors, including defense spending and discretionary domestic spending, which excludes entitlements such as Social Security and Medicare. Duke will feel the impact most severely in terms of decreased federal funding for medical and scientific research.

Duke received approximately $983 million in research funding for fiscal year 2010, and more than half—about $500 million—came from the federal government, said James Siedow, vice provost for research and professor of biology.

The Budget Control Act of 2011required lawmakers to reach an agreement that would reduce the debt before implementing automatic spending cuts. In response,

THE CHRONICLE

Duke Student Government presidential candidates disagree on the role student advocacy plays in the office.

At the DSG presidential town hall debate Sunday, presidential candidates Stefani Jones and Patrick Oathout, both juniors, contrasted their qualifications, record and platforms as they debated their approach to different University issues.

Jones, DSG vice president of equity and outreach, said one of the most important roles of the DSG president is as an advocate for the interests of students, but Oathout, DSG executive vice president, said that the president needed a more comprehensive set of experiences beyond advocacy.

Duke came into its regular-season finale against North Carolina followings its first ACC loss of the season. The No. 5 Blue Devils responded in a big way Sunday.

Led by freshman guard Alexis Jones’ career-high 22 points, Duke (27-2, 17-1 in the ACC) outlasted the No. 15 Tar Heels (26-5, 14-4) 65-58, cutting down the nets after the game to celebrate their fourthstraight ACC regular season title.

It was not a pretty game—the teams combined for 51 turnovers— but the Blue Devils’ stingy defense and superior free throw shooting helped them secure victory in front of a sellout home crowd— the team’s first sellout since 2011.

First black Ph.D student recalls time at Duke

by Imani Moise THE CHRONICLE

When Ida Owens entered college, she never guessed she would become a trailblazer in the field of biochemistry.

The Graduate School Board of Visitors invited Owens, Graduate School ’67, to speak Friday at a gathering of graduate students, alumni and administrators, to honor the 50th anniversary of integration at Duke. In a speech during dinner, Owens, the first black student to receive a Ph.D from Duke, outlined her research and how her Ida Owens experience at the University shaped her future. “I started out in one of the most unre-

markable school systems in the state and wound up in the most remarkable position,�

Owens said of her life. “I’ve achieved more than I ever expected to achieve.�

After Owens graduated summa cum laude from North Carolina College at Durham—now known as North Carolina Central University—Duke administrators encouraged Owens to apply to the Ph.D. program in biochemistry in the Graduate School. In addition to being the first black to receive a Ph.D from Duke, Owens was also the first woman to earn a doctorate in biochemistry and physiology.

At Duke, Owens spent most of her time working in a lab located inside Duke Hospital and had little interaction with campus culture. “There was nothing wrong with my experience at Duke,� she explained.

Conference uses art for personal, social change

by Raisa Chowdhury THE CHRONICLE

Duke Dance turned art into social change this weekend.

Artists from many disciplines came to campus this weekend for the Across the Threshold: Creativity, Being and Healing conference, which looked to art to create personal, social and environmental change.

The conference, now in its fifth year, brought together artists working on social change projects, especially those regarding global environmental destruction, said Keval Khalsa, director of the Duke dance program and one of the founders of the conference.

Presenters and guests at the conference varied greatly in their areas of expertise. During the keynote panel, discussion spanned topics such as art, community, reincarnation, marriage therapy and the Rwandan genocide.

AFL CIO

“We want to share information,� Khalsa said. “We want to celebrate with each other the arts through singing, through dancing, through meditation and more a creative vision forward and hopefully leave this conference with a real sense of community in this work.�

The listed price for student tickets was $100, but many students participated for free as volunteers. Attendees also came from the broader Triangle Area.

The conference featured four key presenters: Chris Jordan, a photographer and cultural activist who gave the keynote address about his experiences on Midway Island; Lily Yeh, a community-based artist; Ronald Brown, an award-winning dancer and choreographer; and Baba Chuck Davis, a dancer, teacher and ambassador for African American culture.

In order to show the environmental

Prior to her matriculation, Owens spent her time taking supplementary courses at NCCU to prepare herself for the opportunity of graduate school. She stayed informed of developments in the scientific community by reading academic journals, which prevented others from doubting her capabilities. Owens was so focused on her lab work that she missed the news that Duke decided to admit black undergraduate students in 1963.

But this lab work would create new insights in the study of the genetics of human diseases.

Her research led her to discover a family of 13 enzymes which could metabolize a high number of chemicals due to their rotating active sites. This discovery would have many implications for the study of the genetics of human diseases. At the time, Owens was unaware of how applicable her findings would be to the field. She continues her work with enzymes today as the head of the Section on Genetic Disorders of Drug Metabolism in the Program on Developmental Endocrinology and Genetics at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. One of the enzymes that she found metabolized effects of mass consumerism, Jordan creates iconic images out of collages of everyday products, such as “Over the Moon,� an image of the moon made out of 29,000 credit cards in his series “Running the Numbers: An American SelfPortrait.�These images serve as a visualization of data—for instance, the credit cards represent “the average number of personal bankruptcy filings every week in the U.S. in 2010.� “Statistics by themselves can be kind of deadening and it can be so much more meaningful when we can see what 210 plastic bottles look like,� Jordan said. “If we can’t comprehend these phenomena then we can’t feel anything about them and I think that’s why we’re seeing this disconnect that we’re seeing now.�

He added that he attended the conference because even though culture around climate issues is changing and people are generally moved by his work he feels that public opinion is not changing fast enough. “We need radical change of behavior on a global level and fast,� Jordan said. “I’m interested in how we get there.�

Why Workers Rights are Smart Public Policy

dihydrotestosterone, high levels of which can increase the probability of developing prostate cancer. “We started at A, and now we’ve passed Z,� she said.

Her work on the genetics and mechanisms controlling enzyme systems has been published in a variety of major scientific journals. Owens is also a member of numerous leading scientific societies and has spoken at 15 scientific conferences around the world.

Owen’s enduring passion for her work came across to everyone in the audience. “She has had an incredible career, and she’s still got the drive to work on her experiment,� Paula McClain, dean of the Graduate School, said. “She really wants to see this last experiment through because whatever she finds is going to help us in the treatment of prostate cancer.�

Desmond Moore, a fourth-year doctoral candidate in biochemistry, said he was moved by the story of Owens’s success. “The fact that she’s still involved in research and still chasing her dreams was just really inspiring,� he said.

Jordan participated in the keynote panel on Arts and Activism with Brown and Yeh and also performed at the Carolina Theatre Saturday night with his group Evidence Dance Company.

Brown said he feels he has a responsibility to incorporate themes from history and real conflicts in his work. His dances deal with subjects including slavery, the Vietnam War and the war on terror. “Dance is something we can’t really be—it’s movement, it’s visceral, so it’s kind of heart to heart or soul to soul so when people dance, it’s evident,� Brown said. “We look like all kinds of bodies. That’s this kind of accessibility dance has. People recognize themselves in the kind of work, in the kind of movement we do.�

At the panel, Yeh noted the importance of recognizing that art is horizontal and anyone can create, since art is not limited to only “artists on a pedestal.� “Everyone has the creativity.... The question is, how do you get in touch with it, how do you nurture it? That’s our new hope for our new age,� Yeh said.

DSG from page 1 “I am the person with the most experience to work on things and get things done,” Jones said. “It is the way that I approach issues on campus that makes me unique.”

She added that through her work as a student advocate, she has built “great relationships” with administrators and student leaders.

Jones noted that she was one of the leaders of the push to repeal the statute of limitations on the sexual misconduct policy.

Oathout said a president whose

only goal is to be a student advocate would build an adversarial relationship with administrators. He noted that in addition to being an advocate for students, it was important for the next president to understand DSG and draw from diverse experiences.

“I am someone that has solutions and who is willing to implement them as well,” Oathout said.

He added that he does not pander to particular interests and bash the ideas of others.

Both candidates said that they would address the student amnesty and alcohol policies. Oathout said

TRACY HUANG/THE CHRONICLE

Sophomores Nikolai Doytchinov and Tre Scott, DSG executive vice presidential candidates, debate campus issues in the Great Hall Sunday evening.

that he wanted to adopt an “opendoor” alcohol policy similar to policies implemented at Stanford and Yale universities. With this policy, students would not be penalized for drinking in their rooms without causing a disturbance.

Jones said the “open-door” policy would not fix the problems with the drinking culture on campus because the policy would not encompass drinking games or hard alcohol. She added that, as president, she would work with administrators to compromise on a policy.

Although both candidates agreed that increasing the number of off-campus parties would be detrimental to overall student well being, Oathout said that he was the only candidate that was proposing concrete solutions.

Jones said that rather than creating resolutions to some of the campus’ most complex issues on her own, she wanted to work with student groups and administrators to form policies tailored to Duke instead of mimicking policies from other campuses.

“Duke has a very different drinking culture than a university like Stanford,” she said, adding that solutions that work at other universities might not be the best solutions at Duke.

Oathout said his platform includes specific goals with concrete deadlines. He added that he has lost four elections at Duke, and even if he loses another, he will still work to complete his goals by their set deadlines, as a DSG senator or in another capacity.

“There is nothing that I want

to do more than serve the student body through DSG,” Oathout said.

As a member of the LGBT community, Oathout said he has faced discrimination and wants to encourage diversity among students but implement group dynamics training to limit discrimination on campus.

Jones said that she has already began group dynamics training as part of bias incident training, a program to train student leaders to recognize and prevent discrimination on campus. She added that voters should choose the candidate with the track record in resolving concerns on campus rather than a candidate that cares about major issues.

In one pointed criticism, Oathout said Jones “embarrassed” DSG when she did not do enough research and verify facts before introducing a Senate resolution supporting more space for the LGBT center. The resolution angered Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, Oathout added.

Jones responded that she spoke with Moneta through the negotiations process, which was productive.

She added that her platform was very similar to Oathout’s, but she aimed to work more directly with students and administrators rather than focusing on internal DSG administrative roles. Jones noted that one of her strengths was speaking on behalf of students.

Oathout said his policy proposals are very different from Jones’ platform, with more specific deadlines.

“I am going to get things done in office,” Oathout said.

EVP contenders debate policies

The executive vice president candidates, Nikolai Doytchinov and Tre’ Scott, both sophomores, said student policies and procedures will be a major focus of their efforts if elected.

“The student conduct system needs a radical overhaul,” said Doytchinov, currently vice president for academic affairs. “We need to make it easier for victims to report a rape, and we need to make it easier for victims to get help.”

Scott, currently vice president for services, added that the student conduct system needs to handle individual student issues as unique to each student rather than just case numbers.

Both candidates said their experiences as vice presidents have prepared them well for the role of executive vice president, who runs weekly DSG meetings.

Doytchinov said he has had the opportunity to collaborate with many senior administrators, noting that his “really detailed” platform highlights his important internal experience, and Scott said he has been exposed to many different issues and groups in his work with campus services.

Scott said if elected executive vice president, he would focus on unity within the Senate and ensure that senators collaborate on projects that span different areas.

“The Senate should come together as one group and not as 65 different people that come together on Wednesdays,” he added.

Senior Nicole Kyle, special projects editor for The Chronicle, moderated the debates.

ART from page 2 Other sessions during the program varied in format from panels to dance workshops to academic paper presentations.

Jenny Lee, a dancer and dance therapist from the University of Florida College of Fine Arts, led a workshop titled “Our Communities, Ourselves: Wholeness through Authentic Movement� in which attendees received an introduction to authentic movement, a form of dance therapy.

Participants paired off and moved different parts of their bodies based on internal impulses to cultivate awareness of themselves and each other.

Freshman Maddie Cetlin, a pre-med student who danced in a studio at home before college, said that attending the conference helped her understand how dance can be a tool for processing one’s experiences. “I’ve been discovering... why I dance and how much it helps you to think through things you can’t always say,� Cetlin said.

The original idea for the conference came from recognizing that imbalances in the world originate from imbal-

ances within individuals, Khalsa said.

She and two other associate professors in the dance department, Ava Vinesett and Purnima Shah, developed a plan that focused on “embodied practices that help to transform consciousness� that went beyond just dance. In 2008, they hosted the first Across the Threshold as a daylong event, inviting others interested in cultural anthropology, religion, integrative medicine and music.

Other groups co-sponsoring the event with the Dance department included the Nicholas School of the Environment, Center for Documentary Studies, Franklin Humanities Institute, the Office of Durham and Regional Affairs and the Program on Integrative Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, among others.

The academic setting of the conference held special meaning for Jordan. “A lot of other conferences that I attend are fundamentally commercial in their nature and in this case it’s amazing to be around educators and around students who are interested in these issues purely as activists and people who want to learn,� Jordan said.

SEQUESTER from page 1 Duke officials have met with the Obama administration as well as the North Carolina delegation to Congress multiple times to discuss the impacts of these budget cuts on research. Most officials and politicians have been understanding and supportive of research funding, said Chris Simmons, associate vice president for federal relations. “Investing in research is a huge economic driver, and nobody disagrees with that,� he said.

Despite such public support for research, sequestration went into effect Friday, setting the gears in motion to cut federal funding for major research initiatives. The National Science Foundation has announced that they will not cut funding for any projects that are currently using NSF funds. They will, however, reduce the amount of grants they award by more than 1,000 proposals, Siedow said.

The National Institutes of Health, which provide most of funding for Duke medical research, has already accounted for possible cuts. Since Congress did not approve a budget for the current fiscal year, the NIH factored in an automatic 10 percent decrease in the funding it supplies to institutions, effective Jan. 1, 2013. “The additional 5 percent budget decrease from the sequester fits into the original 10 percent that the NIH implemented,� said Paul Vick, Duke Medicine’s associate vice president for government relations. “This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, and [the Medical Center] has been operating under this system just fine.�

Research in the basic sciences, which has a broader group of funding sources compared to medical research, receives a significant amount of funding from the NSF. Therefore, it may be subject to greater cuts, Siedow said.

Both Simmons and Siedow have been regularly contacting Duke faculty to discuss how to respond to the funding cuts, but, due to the uncertainty surrounding the magnitude as well as the scheduling of the cuts, most departments have been wary of stepping out too far ahead in their preparations.

Siedow said for now, head researchers are adopting an interdepartmental approach, combining efforts with other projects and hiring research development professionals to help organize the joint proposal. Through the proposal, a larger bulk sum of funding can be secured and subsequently distributed as needed across all projects involved.

A bridge funding process will also be set in place, in which research proposals that fall short of receiving grants can reapply in the following year and then receive funding. The Duke University Health System has a similar program in which it uses internal funds to bridge any financial gaps, Vick said.

Siedow noted that although these actions may help delay the full force of the cuts, they are temporary at best. “If there is a real long-term decrease [in funding], the simple fact is that we can’t bridge everyone forever. We can’t even bridge everyone to begin with,� he said. “If things really reach a new low, the level of research at Duke will, unfortunately, show some decline.�

Siedow noted, however, that the immediate effects of the budget sequestration may not be as severe as some predict, especially compared to the expected cuts of fiscal year 2014. Most of the cuts will take at least five to six months to make an impact, and although the NSF will cut a thousand proposals, it will make them more gradually.

Simmons said he worries that the longer lawmakers wait to return to the bargaining table, the more Duke will feel the effects of the budget cuts. “With more cuts, we’d be able to support fewer people, research might be harmed or slowed down and fewer discoveries and inventions will be made,�

Simmons said. “And since we don’t know the [full] magnitude of the cuts, it is difficult for us to plan ahead.�

sive student advocacy often missing from DSG initiatives.

Unlike the DSG bill of rights, which sounds lofty but does little, the program aims to resolve real problems without pretense, abandoning the delusion that it can offer a cureall for Duke’s ills.

So far, Fix My Campus has dealt primarily with smallscale maintenance issues— responding to requests to replace light bulbs in library lamps, for instance—but plans to tackle larger problems in the near future. It plans to create a Twitter feed for event parking and hopes to install Transloc monitors in prominent places on campus. Although it has had success with small projects and receives a steady stream of suggestions, the committee

has not yet successfully completed a more substantial project. Given the group’s popularity, considerable funding and institutional support, we expect that it will have success with some of its larger projects, but if it wants to address more than minor facilities complaints, it still needs to demonstrate its ability to tackle problems that require sustained effort and attention.

Although we commend Fix My Campus for attempting to address oft-ignored concerns and adopting what appears to be a flexible and responsive model, it is important to recognize that the committee is necessarily limited in the kinds of projects it can carry out. The group, even when dealing with sig-

nificant campus problems, functions primarily as a conduit, filling out maintenance request forms and funneling suggestions from students to relevant administrators.

Despite its narrow scope, Fix My Campus promises to do what a body tasked with addressing small-scale student concerns should do. It establishes a means for DSG to respond promptly to problems and creates a mechanism by which students can notify their representatives about issues that affect them on a daily basis. Ambitious projects that aim to reshape campus sound nice and often reflect real needs, but they are sometimes less valuable than those that effectively address existing and entirely fixable problems.

Hypocritical hero

dsg endorsement Duke College Republicans endorse Oathout for DSG president Duke College Republicans are pleased to announce their endorsement of Patrick Oathout in this year’s election for DSG president. Patrick would bring a wide range of relevant experiences to the job, including three years of effective service in DSG and a record of achieving positive results for Duke’s student body. His proposals are highly detailed and realistic. In his meeting with us, he expressed his belief that DSG cannot and should not be the solution to any and all problems on our campus. Instead, DSG should guide and assist students and campus organizations to ensure that they have the resources they need. Throughout his time in DSG, he has demonstrated fiscal responsibility with DSG’s funds and has always served with utmost integrity.

His opponent in this race, Stefani Jones, is also a highly qualified candidate who would surely serve our student body well. However, we also have some misgivings about her vision of

DSG and some of her proposals. She seems to believe DSG should be ubiquitous in campus life. Some of her proposals are not within the realm of what DSG’s function should be, including creating an ideological litmus test for political science and public policy professors. While it is a noble idea to think that professors should represent a variety of viewpoints, it is certainly not within the scope of DSG’s responsibilities to require ideological diversity among the faculty.

We are skeptical of a proposal that would grant DSG so much power over academic departments that should be free to hire the best professors, regardless of their political ideology.

We endorse Patrick for president because he is a capable advocate for students’ interests.

He is motivated by a desire to serve us and to improve the Duke experience for current and future students. We are confident he will lead DSG with a calm and steady hand.

“The case for intervention”

by Colin Scott. Read at dukechronicle.com/section/opinion lettertotheeditor Israel is not an apartheid state In the Feb. 27 column “End Israeli apartheid,” the author systematically defames Israel by invoking tendentious rhetoric and ignoring realities on the ground.

Israel unilaterally withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005—often forcibly uprooting its own citizens in the process. In 2006, Gazans democratically elected the Hamas party, a fundamentalist Islamic organization deemed a terrorist group by the United States, Canada, the European Union and Japan. Since its withdrawal from Gaza, Israel has been the victim of over thousands of indiscriminately fired rockets. Anyone who has visited the Israeli border town of Sderot has seen the effects: roadside shelters, blaring alarms and more than 40 percent of children showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, according to Haaretz. More dangerously, as we saw in the most recent Israeli/Hamas skirmish this past November, Palestinian rocket fire can now reach highly populous Tel Aviv.

Fatah, the more moderate Palestinian party that rules the West Bank, is hardly more receptive to Israeli peace overtures. In 2008, thenPrime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert offered Fatah chief Mahmoud Abbas a land swap between Israel and Palestine, as well as a divided Jerusalem, a particularly painful concession.

Abbas rejected the offer. In 2010, Israel tempo-

rarily froze its settlements in the West Bank— often cited by observers as a necessary condition for the resumption of peace talks. Abbas did not come to the negotiating table. Instead, he has continued to avoid direct negotiation by unilaterally applying for statehood at the U.N. Furthermore, Israel is quite simply not an “apartheid” state. Arab Israelis have all the same major rights as Jewish Israelis; they can serve in the Knesset and are not even conscripted to the military like non-Haredi Jews are. As a Westernstyle democracy, Israel also espouses full religious freedom. Muslims, Christians and Druze are all free to practice their faiths.

Jitan’s plea to accept moral equivalence between the two sides is an oft-repeated trope.

Such moral equivalence is specious. Hamas targets Israeli civilians and uses its own civilians as human shields to curry public favor. Fatah is uninterested in directly negotiating peace. To the extent that America has a role to play in resuming the stalled peace process, it is essential she continue to stand firmly with our longtime ally in the campaign to promote common values and defeat Islamic terrorism. Military and financial assistance are natural byproducts of this moral and national security commitment.

Josh Hammer Trinity ’11

T

he United States prides itself on being the hero. When a dictatorship or communism raises its anti-American head, the stars and stripes swoop in to save the day with democracy and capitalism. The State Department advertises that its mission is to “advance freedom … by helping to build and sustain a more democratic, secure and prosperous world.” One would imagine that a nation so committed to the spread of democracy would take all necessary steps to preserve democracy within its own borders.

Last week, the Supreme Court joline doedens heard oral argument on the conwait a minute stitutionality of Congress’s reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA). The specific question for the Court was whether Congress had the constitutional authority under the 14th and 15th Amendments to renew Section 5 of the VRA. Section 2 of the VRA gives government and private plaintiffs a judicial remedy for any “voting qualification or prerequisite to voting or standard, practice or procedure … imposed or applied … in a manner which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color.” Section 4 of the VRA includes a “coverage” formula that determines which jurisdictions are subject to the “preclearance” provisions of Section 5. Essentially, a jurisdiction was “covered” if it had a “test or device” that restricted access to the polls as of Nov. 1, 1964, and if less than half of eligible voters exercised their right to vote or were registered as of Nov. 1, 1964. Once a jurisdiction is subject to Section 5, it must submit any voting changes to a three-judge court in Washington, D.C. for determination that the proposed change “does not have the purpose and will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color.”

In the case now before the Supreme Court, Shelby County v.

Holder, a small Alabama county challenges the constitutionality of Congress’s reauthorization of the VRA, especially its reauthorization of Sections 4 and 5. The crux of Shelby County’s argument is that the danger has passed. The “blight of racial discrimination in voting” that the Court found in the 1966 case of South Carolina v. Katzenbach has been vanquished. In fact, Shelby County points to an astonishing negative correlation between inclusion in the coverage formula and black registration or turnout. At oral argument, Justice Scalia decried the 2006 reauthorization of the VRA as a “perpetuation of racial entitlement,” evidence of lawmakers’ reluctance to come out against legislation with such an entrenched racial history.

But the “racial entitlement” that Justice Scalia speaks of runs against the grain of historical precedent. In the case of Katzenbach, the Court noted that Congress used its enforcement power under the 15th Amendment to enact the VRA in order to end “nearly a century of systematic resistance to the 15th Amendment” and “to banish the blight of racial discrimination in voting.” While it is true that we no longer live in a country tainted by Jim Crow laws or a powerful Ku Klux Klan, we by no means live in a post-racial society. A brief glimpse at crime statistics, or even a casual stroll through a TSA security checkpoint at an airport betrays the pervading racial sensitivities of American society.

The voter suppression laws of the 21st century may no longer take the form of literacy tests or poll taxes, but voter suppression endures. As usual, Florida is a textbook case. When Gov. Rick Scott took office in 2011, he immediately began his campaign to cut back on early voting. Officially, Gov. Scott maintained that he was committed to eliminating voter fraud. But in a November 2012 report by the Palm Beach Post, several Republican Florida lawmakers admitted that the real goal of the campaign was to suppress Democratic votes. In fact, according to one election supervisor in Florida, Floridians are more likely to get struck by lightening than commit voter fraud.

Suppression of the Democratic vote is not exactly the same as the suppression of the black vote that Congress originally intended to eliminate with the Voting Rights Act, but it is analogous. Particularly in light of the last presidential election, after which some Republicans conceded they were “a ‘Mad Men’ party in a ‘Modern Family’ world,” Republican efforts to suppress the Democratic vote translates into a suppression of the non-male, non-white vote.

I understand that the Supreme Court may strike down Section 5 of the VRA as unduly burdensome on federalism and an unwarranted departure from equal treatment of the states. But the Court cannot argue that there is no longer any need for federal oversight of the right that defines democracy. From this country’s very inception, its citizens have held the right to representation near and dear. A United States that allows its own citizens to be denied the right to vote can hardly go out into the international community to spread freedom and democracy without incredible hypocrisy.

Jones leads Duke past UNC Blue Devils get in last punch against Towson

by Daniel Carp THE CHRONICLE

When junior point guard Chelsea Gray went down with a season-ending knee injury Feb. 17 against Wake Forest, Duke became a different team.

In its first games without Gray, the team managed an 11-point win against then-No. 19 Florida State and turned heads with a 16-point road win against then-No. 8 Maryland. But a 69-65 road loss to an unranked Miami squad— the Blue Devils’ first and only ACC loss of the season— served as an indication that the team needed to adapt to life without Gray.

When No. 5 Duke got set to tip off with No. 15 North Carolina to cap off the regular season Sunday at Cameron Indoor Stadium, several players had the talent to replace Gray’s lost production: sharpshooter Tricia Liston, the gritty Haley Peters or reigning ACC Freshman of the Year Elizabeth Williams.

But it was freshman Alexis Jones who stepped into the spotlight in Gray’s absence Sunday, leading the Blue Devils to an emotional 65-58 win against North Carolina on senior day with a career-high 22 points.

“Lex is a very talented player. She’s one of the very best freshmen in the country without question, but also one of the best guards in the league,” head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. “I think a part of this is her understanding of what she can do in terms of her changing the tempo of a game.”

Jones’ performance was her third straight game reaching double figures, but her 22-point performance against the Tar Heels showcased facets of her game that appeared to leave both the crowd and even Gray awestruck.

Although Jones’ production was inconsistent at points earlier in the season as she adjusted to college basketball, she commanded both ends of the floor for the Blue Devils Sunday. She shot just 5-of-14 from the field but used a quick first step and a deceptive crossover dribble to get to the rim at will and draw fouls. The freshman shot 11-of12 from the line on the afternoon, making two more free throws than the entire North Carolina squad.

Jones was all over the place on the defensive end as well, pressuring the ball relentlessly and making hustle plays for the Blue Devils that didn’t make it onto the statsheet.

Although she registered just one steal in the game, Jones played a crucial role in the Tar Heels’ 22 turnovers.

And with her team trailing 32-26 early in the second half, Jones helped spark Duke’s 22-2 run that gave the Blue Devils back the lead for good. After knocking down four free throws early in the run, Jones grabbed a long defensive rebound and took the ball coast-to-coast, beating the North Carolina defender with a quick shake for a lay-in with her right hand and forcing the Tar Heels to

After Towson came to Durham Bulls Athletic Park and rallied past Duke late for wins in the first two games of the series, it was only fitting that 9 the Blue Devils came back and stole TOW DUKE 3 game three. “[Towson] had an answer every 6 time we scored,” head coach Chris PolTOW lard said. “But ultimately we got the TOW 5 last shot in.”

After falling to the Tigers 9-3 and 6 6-5 in games one and two, Duke avoidTOW ed the sweep with an 8-6 win Sunday.

Continuing to step up in the absence of injured point guard Chelsea Gray, Alexis Jones scored 22 points to pace Duke past North Carolina. take a timeout.

Gray ran from the bench to embrace the young point guard after the play, and the pair seemed to feed off each other’s energy during Duke’s decisive run.

“Chelsea is like a big sister to me. During timeouts she tells me what she sees, and I listen to her and try to feed off her energy from the bench that she can’t give on the court right now,” Jones said. “I’m trying to take her coaching ability and put it on the court and just bring everything that she sees that can help make us better.”

In addition to her play on both ends of the floor, Jones’ energy, leadership and poise was on display throughout the contest. Her calm demeanor running the offense showed the maturity of an older point guard and gave Duke the leadership it lacked without Gray on the floor.

With the Blue Devils looking forward to postseason play, their hopes to make a deep run into March could rest on the 5-foot-8 shoulders of their freshman point guard.

“When Chelsea goes out it’s a brand new season, but we finish up a strong regular season and now head into the next one,” McCallie said. “I just think Lex is really getting better every single game and she’s getting a feel for being out there on the floor and directing things.”

Duke catcher Mike Rosenfeld went 9-for-11 in the series against Towson, upping his batting average to .457 on the season.

(5-5), however, ended their streak of dominance after only giving up one earned run against Bucknell last weekend. Sophomore lefty Trent Swart and junior righties Drew Van Orden and Robert Huber gave up a collective nine runs against the Tigers this weekend.

After Swart held Towson (6-3) to only one run during five innings in game one, lowering his season ERA to 1.50, Van Orden and Huber surrendered four runs each in games two and three.

No. 1 Maryland routs Knight highlights Duke 16-7 at Koskinen Duke’s 7th-place finish

by Lopa Rahman

THE CHRONICLE

THE CHRONICLE

The Terrapins scored 16 goals when they knocked Duke out of the NCAA tournament semifinal last year, and they scored 16 goals when they routed the Blue Devils this year. No. 19 Duke lost to No. 1 Maryland 16-7 Saturday at Koskinen Stadium in the first ACC lacrosse game of the season.

“Maryland was terrific and has certainly earned the No. 1 spot in the country,” Blue Devil head coach John Danowski said. “It didn’t work out on the field, but our guys competed and were beat by a better team.”

The Terrapins (4-0, 1-0 in the ACC) jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but Duke junior Christian Walsh 16 put the Blue DevMD (2-4, 0-1) on the DUKE 7 ils scoreboard, marking the smallest scoring deficit that they faced all game.

Maryland controlled the pace of the game, winning 17-of-27 faceoffs. Duke’s failure to find an answer for Terrapin offense doomed the Blue Devils to their fourth loss of the season.

“We had a hard, good week of practice,” Duke senior Josh Offit said. “We’re still trying to find out what it takes on game day to come together as a team and translate practice onto game day.”

Offit, a midfielder, led the Blue Devils in scoring with two goals. Duke’s trio of junior attackmen—Walsh, Jordan Wolf and Josh Dionne—combined for just two scores.

The men’s swimming team finished in seventh place for the second straight year at the ACC Championships this past weekend at the Greensboro Aquatic Center.

During the four-day meet, the men’s team set four new school records and 14 personal records.

After Nick McCrory became the most decorated diver in ACC history at the diving event last week, junior Hunter Knight led the Duke men in the pool. Collecting the first All-ACC honors of his career with a strong showing in the 100-yard breaststroke, he clocked in at 53.72—giving him a third-place finish and an NCAA provisional-qualifying time.

“I can’t be much happier getting a second- and third-place finish after not ever making the podium [before this year],” Knight said. “Honestly, starting the year out, talking to my coach about my goals for this season, one of them was to definitely get on the podium, and those are my best two events. Basically, that’s what we trained for, something we worked towards, and we figured out what it would take to get up there.”

On the last day of competition, Knight garnered another All ACC-honors with a silver in the 200 breaststroke. He broke 2012 graduate Piotr Safronczyk’s program record with a time of 1:56.78. Knight closed out the meet with the first two medals of his career and four NCAA ‘B’ cuts in breast-

stroke events. A ‘B’ cut is a provisional qualifying time for the NCAAs. “Records are made to be broken,” Knight said. “To be able to break that record after it had been established last year was pretty special. It’s obviously one of the school records here and to be one of the top all-time for Duke is something I take pride in.”

Junior Steven Gasparini also broke two school records. After eclipsing the program record with a swim of 1:47.80 in the 200 individual medley preliminaries, he broke his own newly set record Thursday night with a 1:47.65 swim in the same event. Gasprini almost added another program record to his resume, but ended up tying Spencer Booth’s record of 48.17 in the 100 backstroke.

Virginia won the ACC title for the sixth consecutive year with a tally of 759.5 points, while Duke recorded 268 points. The Blue Devils will continue their postseason with the diving team heading to the NCAA Zone Diving Championships March 11 and women and men’s NCAA Championships starting later this month.

“By far this is one of the best ACCs I’ve seen as a team performance,” Knight said. “Just about everyone on the team had better times and moved up in the seedings, scored points when they could and had really excellent spreads. It was great just to go out there and watch each other race, and do great things in the pool.”

After the game, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski called Ryan Ke

JISOO YOON/THE CHRONICLE

In Ryan Kelly’s first game back after reinjuring his foot Jan. 8 against Clemson, the senior forward scored a career-high 36 points.

KELLY from page 1 minutes of play since injuring his foot Jan. 8 against Clemson.

Kelly’s 19 first-half points matched Duke’s first-half offensive production in the January loss to Miami.

“In the first half he was so unbelievable that it had an impact on our guys,” Krzyzewski said. “In other words, you start watching him, because we haven’t had him for two months.”

Kelly continued to shoot without fear in the second half, hitting twice more from beyond the arc to give him seven 3-pointers, two shy of Duke’s all-time record set by J.J. Redick. Kelly finished 10-of-14 from the field and was 9-of-12 from the free throw line.

“That’s one of those things that just doesn’t happen,” Krzyzewski said of Kelly’s 36 points in just 32 minutes of play.

“How did that happen?

I don’t know how that happened. But it did, and we won, and… God bless America.”

Both Kelly’s 3-point field goal and overall point totals were season highs for Duke and career highs for him, besting his previous bests of five and 23, respectively. Sophomore Quinn Cook added 15 points and senior Mason Plumlee finished with 12, but the focus never shifted from

Kelly in his much-awaited return.

“When something special to you is taken away, you want it even more,” Kelly said. “I wanted it more.”

By hitting pretty much anything he looked at, Kelly often forced forward Kenny Kadjiiand the rest of the Hurricane defense to chose between leaving him or one of Duke’s guards open.

“With Ryan out there, I don’t think [Miami] gameplanned too well,” Curry said. “When we have ball screens they usually just stay with me, and today they couldn’t do that. Well, they did, but it didn’t work out in their favor.”

Kelly added seven boards to lead the team with a rebounding performance that almost seemed like an afterthought.

Aside from Kelly, the Blue Devils fell victim to Miami’s size on the boards, allowing the Hurricanes to grab 13 offensive rebounds while coming down with just 27 total rebounds themselves. Miami finished with 20 second-chance points in the loss.

“This win is a huge win for us,” head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “It doesn’t mean everything is okay, but it’s a lot better.”

Guard Shane Larkin led the Hurricanes with 25 points and three assists, utilizing a deceptive floater to convert on drives against Duke’s big men. Lar-

kin has now averaged 17.8 points during his last four games.

“Larkin is a great player—I think the best guard by far in the league,” Krzyzewski said. “He was magical out there.”

Kadji added 17 points and 10 rebounds in his fifth double-double of the season for Miami, but the senior was held scoreless in the final 16 minutes of play.

Despite Kelly’s scoring explosion, Duke trailed almost the entire first half, going down by as many as seven before making it a onepossession game just before halftime. The second half was a different story, however, as other Blue Devils added production on offense.

After going 0-for-6 from beyond the arc in the first half, the non-Kelly portion of the team went 4-for-8 from deep in the second half, with Plumlee adding eight points from the post.

Behind the more balanced production, the Blue Devils traded buckets with the Hurricanes early, then took and continued to stretch a small advantage, ending up with a 10-point lead with 1:55 left in the game.

But missed free throws and turnovers

by Duke allowed Miami to cut the difference to two with 21 seconds left, turning the game into the nail-biter many expected it to be. It took two missed 3-point attempts

by Hurricanes on the final possession to seal the victory for the Blue Devils.

“It was a crazy game,” Kelly said. “We could have let go there at the end, but we showed some poise and got the stop that counted.”

The fans—some of whom had been tenting since Tuesday afternoon—chanted Kelly’s name a number of times during the game and provided one of the loudest nights Cameron has seen this year.

“Our kids over the years—that sixth man—have come up with just an amazing spirit and support of our team,” Krzyzewski said. “Tonight they were spectacular too.

Not as good as Ryan, but right at that next level.”

36 points In Ryan Kelly’s first game since Jan. 8, the senior scored 36 on 10-of-14 shooting, accounting for 45.6% of Duke’s points.

37-25 rebs

Miami outrebounded Duke 37-25, giving the Hurricanes a 20-4 advantage in second-chance points. Miami beat Duke 13-4 on the offensive boards.

Kelly headlines at Club Cameron

by Andrew Beaton THE CHRONICLE

Duke fans turned out to Club Cameron—a nickname bestowed upon Duke’s historic stadium by head coach Mike Krzyzewski—even before they knew if Ryan Kelly would play Saturday against Miami.

Then the club starting hopping in a way it hadn’t all season when the White Raven was introduced as a starter, headlining his first act since reinjuring his foot Jan. 8 against Clemson.

Kelly—nicknamed the White Raven in reference to his high school, Ravenscroft— scored a career-high 36 points in No. 3 Duke’s 79-76 win against the No. 5 Hurricanes. Although it seemed as if Cameron Indoor Stadium could never get louder than the moment he was introduced in the starting lineup—to the surprise of the Cameron Crazies—each of the seven 3-pointers in his comeback performance only built on that fervor.

“That place was rocking,” Kelly said. “It was nice that it was for me, but they were unbelievable all night.”

Although Saturday’s excitement peaked with Kelly’s performance, it began even before fans knew he might play. Students began waiting on line for the game last Sunday and were allowed to tent—a tradition usually reserved for the North Carolina game—starting Tuesday night.

“What a cool thing for so many students to camp out again,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “This has been one of the best years.”

Last year’s Cameron Crazies were the center of talk about how the athletic department was selling tickets to the student section because of low student attendance.

Krzyzewski was the first to put a name to the vigor among this year’s fan base, dubbing it “Club Cameron” even before a record number of tenters showed up for the first and most rigorous phase of the tenting process to gain entry to Feb. 13’s North Carolina game.

And the relationship between Krzyzewski and the Crazies has become increasingly interactive. Although interactions between

After Miami’s Durand Scott crashed into the photographers following a missed layup, the Crazies booed the referees for blowing the play dead with the Blue Devils pushing the ball in transition. Krzyzewski, though, demonstratively motioned that the crowd should quit its complaining because a player was injured.

“They responded to Coach. Coach told them to relax because [Scott] got hurt, and they relaxed,” sophomore point guard Quinn Cook said.

But at other times Krzyzewski gestured that they should get louder, conducting their orchestra of cheers.

“They were phenomenal—probably better than the North Carolina game,” Cook said. “Their intensity—they were with it for 40 minutes. When Coach gave them

The nickname “White Raven” has caught on for Kelly, a reference to his high school, Ravenscroft.

the pump-up, they pumped up. That’s why they’re the best fans in America.”

Cook also takes an initiative with the Crazies as the player who most regularly exhorts them to turn up the volume.

Cook brought back a fan-favorite move against the Hurricanes when he slapped the floor after hitting a 3-pointer with 1:56 left to give Duke a 10-point lead. A number of Blue Devils followed suit, including Kelly, who gave the floor two slaps.

Floor slapping on defense is a hallmark Duke tradition, perhaps made most famous by former player and current associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski. The Hurricanes mocked the tradition when the teams met in Coral Gables, Fla., as Miami cruised to a 90-63 win and slapped the floor when leading by 28 in the second half.

“I just looked at Wojo, and that was Wojo’s signature thing…. It’s just something that slapped in my head,” Cook said.

“We’ve been getting reminded of that game on Twitter and in public—everybody telling us to slap the floor against them.

But we weren’t going into it looking for revenge. We just wanted to come in and get a win, and I coincidentally did that.”

When Cook did it, he knew that it would send the crowd into a frenzy.

“The fans love it. My Twitter followers love it. They always want me to bring it back,” said Cook, an avid Twitter user.

“When I did it against Presbyterian my freshman year, they were just saying they wanted to see it every game.”

The youngest guys on the team have especially embraced their inner Crazie.

Freshmen Amile Jefferson and Rasheed Sulaimon are often the first to pound each other’s chests—something usually Josh Hairston is known for—and get the team excited.

The Blue Devils have just one more home game this season, senior night Tuesday against Virginia Tech. If Duke wins, it will finish the year undefeated at home. Before the team lost an uncharacteristic three games at home last season, it went undefeated on Coach K Court in both the 2010 and 2011 campaigns.

Kelly’s performance-of-a-lifetime helped keep that intact Saturday, and the fact that he did it after missing 12 games just gave the Crazies one extra thing to cheer for.

The surprise of his return helped pump people up too.

“They were spectacular,” Krzyzewski said. “Not as good as Ryan, but right at the next level.”

Duke survives late Vanderbilt run in 15-12 win

by Staff Reports THE CHRONICLE

No. 6 Duke (5-1) scored the first eight goals of the game, but needed a late push to outlast Vanderbilt 15-12 Saturday at Koskinen Stadium.

After the Blue Devils built the early advantage, the Commodores (1-5) slowly chipped away and tied it up at 10.

The teams traded goals and after a Vanderbilt goal knotted it at 12, Duke scored the final three goals of the contest to seal the deal.

“I was really pleased with how we started the game,” head coach Kerstin Kimel said in a press release. “Obviously we gave up a couple of runs and we needed to do a better job of sticking with our game plan. But I am grateful that we were in a tight game.”

Kerrin Maurer led Duke with four goals, matching a career high. The sophomore also tallied two assists. Maurer was instrumental to the team’s final push, scoring the Blue Devils’ penultimate goal and assisting the final one.

The Blue Devils went 5-for-5 on free-position shots, with Maurer and junior Maddy Morrissey both connecting on both of their free chances. Duke outshot the Commodores 29-24 and won the draw control battle 15-14.

Freshman Kelsey Duryea received the first start of her career for Duke in goal, playing all 60 minutes and recording 12 saves.

The Blue Devils return to action Saturday against No. 10 Georgetown, and Kimel noted the back-and-forth game will help Duke going forward.

“We haven’t been in a tight game yet and we are going to be heading into some tough games coming up in the next couple of weeks,” she said.

Andrew Istler singled home Mike Rosenfeld to give Duke the lead and the win against Towson in the third game of the set.

BASEBALL from sportswrap page 2 junior catcher Mike Rosenfeld said. “We were in deep counts, and our starters had to throw a lot more pitches than they should have.”

The bullpen didn’t fare much better. Sophomore lefty Remy Janco took over for Swart in the sixth inning of game one with a 2-1 lead, but soon gave up three runs, three walks and one hit in only 0.2 innings of work. Sophomore righty Dalton Brown closed out the sixth in relief of Janco, but surrendered three runs himself off five hits. Towson tacked on two more runs off junior righty Mark Lumpa in an offensive rout.

The pattern continued into game two, when Duke carried a 5-4 lead into the top of the eighth. After Duke freshman lefty Nick Hendrix tossed a scoreless seventh, the Tigers scored two off sophomore righty Andrew Istler. Towson senior lefty Mike Ryan earned the save by retiring six straight Blue Devils to close out the game.

“The guys were real pissed off,” Rosenfeld said.

“They’re a great team, but they were tough losses to handle in both games.”

Duke was hungry going in to game three, but saw themselves trailing 4-3 at the seventh inning stretch. This time, however, the tables were turned.

“Coach always says to get off the mat and throw a punch back,” Rosenfeld said.

It was Rosenfeld who dealt the Tigers their knockout blow.

After Towson junior lefty Kyle Paul gave senior right fielder Jeff Kremer a free pass, Rosenfeld tied the game up with a double to right. Istler then singled Rosenfeld home, putting the Blue Devils ahead 5-4. Duke added three more runs in the bottom of the eighth before Hendrix closed out the game and earned his first-career save.

“I thought our bullpen threw very well [Sunday],” Pollard said. “It’s like getting back on the horse when you get thrown off, you just get back up and you get on. I thought Hendrix threw the ball great all weekend, and we were really solid [today].”

Rosenfeld, too, had a great weekend, continuing his torrid start to the season. The co-captain’s batting average rose to .457 with a 9-for-11 performance against the Tigers, including going a perfect 3-for-3 with a walk in game three.

“I’m just seeing the ball well right now,” he said. “Streaks go up and down all the time, so hopefully it stays up and I keep hitting.”

And hopefully for the Blue Devils, they keep up their gritty style of play as the season continues. Despite adding two losses to their record this weekend, Pollard believes his team has the resilience—and the punch—to win going forward.

“I told our guys [after games one and two] that we didn’t play poorly, we just didn’t come up on the right side of the scoreboard,” Pollard said. “But I think we learned a lot about ourselves in [game three]. We learned that we’ve got the ability to come back and fight when our backs are against the wall, and that’s a good thing to know.”

M. LACROSSE from sportswrap page 3 held the attackman scoreless.

In addition to struggling to find the back of the net, Duke failed to contain the Terrapins’ high-powered offense.

The Blue Devils played a game of musical chairs in the goal, utilizing all four goalies on their roster. Starting goaltender Dan Wigrizer was pulled out of the game 43 seconds into the second quarter after surrendering five goals on the first seven shots he faced. Sophomore Kyle Turri played for 39:47, allowing nine goals, and freshman Luke Aaron and sophomore Ben Krebs saw a combined 4:30 in net. The third quarter was the highlight of Duke’s game on the defensive end, as the Blue Devils only let in one goal. “I thought that third quarter was maybe our best quarter of the year,� Danowski said. “We defended, played hard and cleared the ball.�

Duke junior Brendan Fowler, who entered the game ranked fifth in the nation with a 63.9 faceoff percentage, won just 41 percent of his faceoffs against Maryland. The midfielder won the faceoff battle against every opponent he faced this season prior to Saturday’s contest. “There are games where you aren’t going to win faceoffs, and you still have to figure out how to be successful,� Danowski said.

Fowler won the opening faceoff, but after freshman Myles Jones’ shot was blocked, Maryland senior Landon Carr scooped up the ground ball, swiftly moved the ball in transition and set up senior Owen Blye for a goal less than a minute into the game.

Senior Mike Chanenchuk followed that up with the first of his four goals to give the Terrapins an early 2-0 advantage.

Walsh trimmed their lead to one, but Maryland went on a five-goal scoring run powered by two goals and an assist from Chanenchuk. The Blue Devils responded with consecutive goals from Offit and senior David Lawson, but the Terrapins scored two more goals, including one by Chanenchuk, to head into the locker room with a commanding 9-3 lead.

Duke scored four goals in the second half, but Maryland exploded for seven scores—six of which were in the fourth quarter—putting the game firmly out of reach. “Maryland’s a great team,� Offit said. “We just need to learn from [the Terrapins] and prepare for our next opponent.�

Duke’s will face No. 4 Loyola, the reigning national champions, Friday evening at Koskinen Stadium.

Top recruits take in Duke-Miami

Duke beats UNC 65-58, finishes 17-1 in the ACC UNC from page 1 The Tar Heels were held to a season-low 29.7 field goal percentage, including a stretch in the second half when they missed 19 consecutive shots from the floor.

North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell also lamented North Carolina’s struggles at the free throw line, where her team shot 9-of-21.

The Tar Heels held the edge, though, in turnovers, rebounds and steals.

“I see all these categories where we beat [Duke],” Hatchell said. “If we’d made some foul shots, we would have won the game.”

North Carolina’s inability to convert offensively made keeping pace with Duke difficult down the stretch. Tierra Ruffin-Pratt led the Tar Heels with 16 points in the team’s losing effort.

“We missed a lot of shots,” Ruffin-Pratt said. “We fought hard until the end. Like Coach said, we won in all the categories we wanted to win in, except for points.”

The first half was a sequence of runs for both teams. Two free throws from Alexis Jones gave Duke a 12-point lead with 6:08 remaining in the period, but several Duke turnovers allowed the Tar Heels to charge back and take a 27-26 lead going into halftime.

key plays of the game. With just six minutes remaining, North Carolina’s 6-foot-6 center, Waltiea Rolle, brought down an offensive rebound and turned to put it back up. But the diminutive Wells leaned in and ripped the ball from Rolle’s grasp. Rolle hacked at Wells in frustration, earning her fifth and final personal foul.

“That was a huge play,” McCallie said.

“And it was a toughness play. How tall is Chloe? Smallest player on the floor going after the biggest player on the floor and coming out with that rebound.”

The loss of Rolle proved a crucial blow to the Tar Heels’ chances, leaving a defensive void that Jones, junior Haley Peters and sophomore Elizabeth Williams were all able to exploit. Both Peters and Williams finished in double figures, and the pair combined for 13 rebounds. North Carolina used full court pressure and intentional fouls to slow the game’s ending, but Duke shot 10-for-12 from the line in the final two minutes to seal the seven-point win.

On senior night, the Blue Devils could not have honored Allison Vernerey—the team’s lone senior—more than by closing out their fourth-consecutive undefeated regular home season and completing the sweep of their Triangle rivals. Vernery started the game for Duke, notching four points and six rebounds.

For all the Blue Devils’ miscues on both sides of the ball, they reclaimed a lot of energy and toughness on Sunday—characteristics that had been missing at points recently. Head coach Joanne P. McCallie noted how the team’s determination paid off, especially in the second half.

“The difference in the second half— even though they took a six-point lead and we had to come back from that—[was that] we were playing more physical,” McCallie said. “We were more focused and more physical at that time.”

Coming off the bench, junior Chloe Wells epitomized this attitude. Wells only had two points in the game, but her defensive energy was consistently high. As Duke clung to an eight-point lead late in the second half, Wells’ grit resulted in one of the

“Alison is incredible,” McCallie said.

“Coming all the way to Duke from overseas—I kind of laugh when student athletes tell me they’re homesick, and then I think of Ali, and the distance she came to follow a dream that she had as a basketball player in France.”

Vernery thanked fans, friends and family before leaving the court, expressing appreciation for support over her fouryear tenure. She and her teammates will look to garner some momentum from this win heading into Greensboro next Friday, where they will begin the ACC tournament.

“When we get back, it’s a brand new season,” McCallie said. “It’s exciting in its own right, and with a lot of great lessons from this one.”
