Golden in Greensboro, Yet aGain Boutier earns third straight individual win as Duke coasts to ACC title by Michael Schreiner The Chronicle
GREENSBORO, N.C.—After dealing with wet weather for most of the morning, the Blue Devils created a victory shower for one of their own Saturday, a fitting celebration to cap off an impressive performance. No. 3 Duke dominated the ACC Championship at Sedgefield Country Club, as sophomore Celine Boutier captured her third straight individual title of the season and the Blue Devils left a rainsoaked Greensboro with a 27-stroke victory. Duke finished the three days of play with a 10-over-par total of 862, including Boutier’s winning total of 210 that left her as the only individual in red numbers at three under. The ACC field that featured six top-30 teams was no match for the Blue Devils, who entered the final day with a 14-stroke team lead and competed largely against each other for the individual title amid the wind and rain. Three Blue Devils ended the 54-hole tournament with top-4 finishes, and no Duke player ended the weekend outside the top 20. “One thing I really liked is that they kept grinding and fighting today even though we did have a pretty good lead,” head coach Dan Brooks said. “We are fighting for the next thing down the road. We don’t pretend that just because you have a big lead we can relax and that’s the way you ought to play golf.” With her victory, Boutier became the 12th Blue Devil to bring home the individual ACC title. Boutier went two under on her See W. Golf, Sportswrap page 3

Entering the final round with a 14-stroke lead, Duke ran away from the competition en route to a 27-shot victory at the ACC Championship, its third in a row. Sophomore Celine Boutier claimed the individual win to improve her winning streak to three straight events.
Law Refectory Café to leave campus at end of academic year by Sasha Zients The Chronicle
The Law Refectory Café will leave Duke’s campus June 30. The Refectory’s contract has not been renewed, said Laura Hall, founder and chief executive of Bon Vivant Catering, which runs the café. The decision comes several months after Hall filed a legal complaint against Duke for its actions regarding the departure of the Refectory’s sister restaurant—the Refectory Café in the Divinity School— and its subsequent replacement by the Divinity Refectory.
“The whole Duke community loses,” Hall said. “I love being here. I love the Duke community, and they love us.” Rick Johnson, assistant vice president of housing and dining; Robert Coffey, director of dining services; and senior Chris Taylor, co-chair of the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee, declined to comment for this story due to the nature of the lawsuit against the University. The Refectory Café in the Divinity School left campus in June 2012 after Hall declined to pay an increased commission to Duke Dining. At the
start of the 2012-2013 school year, its former location was taken by the Divinity Refectory—a separate restaurant from the Refectory Café, managed by Core Catering, Inc. In August 2013, Hall filed a lawsuit against Core Catering and its co-founder, Patricia Eder—a former employee of Hall’s. Although the University was not listed as a defendant on the original legal complaint, Duke attached itself to the case on the grounds that it selected Core Catering as the location’s new tenant, according to the current complaint. The defendants are now Duke University,
Core Catering and Eder. Hall is suing on the grounds that Eder has imitated her original business at the Divinity School and attempted to pass it off as the same restaurant, with the University being complicit. In January, the Divinity Refectory changed its name to the Divinity Café. Eder did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The Refectory Cafés have been named “Best of Duke” for seven of the past eight years, and the Law Refectory serves See law, page 3
