Howell dominates in opener

by Sabreena Merchant THE CHRONICLE

It was the start of a new season for Duke Saturday, but it was a veteran who stole the spotlight for the young DUKE 20 Blue Devils in their SIENA 6 opening game.

Senior Zach Howell set a career-high with nine points, including a career-best seven goals to lead No. 5 Duke (1-0) to a

dominating 20-6 win over Siena (0-1) at Koskinen Stadium.

“It feels great,” Howell said.

“It wasn’t anything I was doing in particular, just letting the offense come to me. The middies played great all day, both between the lines and on offense, so I had a lot of opportunities. That’s just kind of how it goes around here.”

With the Blue Devils already up 12-3, the senior attackman put on a show after halftime. Howell scored all of Duke’s four goals

in the third quarter, consistently managing to get open and benefiting from crisp passing by a relatively inexperienced attack line.

Freshman Josh Dionne scored his first career goal at the start of the fourth quarter to break Howell’s personal streak of five consecutive scores for the Blue Devils. But the senior immediately tacked on one more after picking up a ground ball before taking a See m. lax on SPORTSWRAP 7

When Duke alum Wil Weldon saw Reynolds Price in mid-December for what he did not yet know would be the last time, his former professor gave him a stern warning.

“He pointed his finger at me and he said, ‘Don’t you tell anybody at Duke that I’ve been sick. I don’t want them to think I can’t teach,’” Weldon, Trinity ’96, recalled.

Price’s famed class on the Gospels was cancelled only after he suffered a fatal heart attack Jan. 16.

When Price returned to his alma mater more than five decades ago, he was determined to teach for as long as it would let him. Retirement was never part of his plan.

Price explained his meteoric rise from literary unknown to esteemed professor and preeminent Southern writer as a journey from teacher to teacher. He was forever grateful to both the women who ran tight ships in the rural Carolina schoolhouses and literary luminaries at Duke, and he repaid the debt over a lifetime in the classroom.

“I’ve just tried to be an interesting and useful teacher, someone you wake up in the middle of the night and say, ‘Gosh, remember when old Doc Price...’” he said in “Pass it On,” a newly released documentary directed by Weldon.

Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Anne Tyler, Women’s College ’61, met Price when he registered her for her first course as a student and his first as an instructor. In a later class, Tyler and her peers were challenged by Price to write short stories that brought his voice and author J.D. Salinger’s into harmony.

“I trust we’ve all given up the attempt by now, but that doesn’t mean Reynolds hasn’t continued to have the most pervasive influence upon my work,” Tyler wrote in an e-mail Feb. 8. “I think of him every time I consider the whole lonely and mysterious craft of writing.”

Price saw writing and teaching as part and parcel of his gift, said David Aers, James B. Duke Professor of English. Tyler was not the only student to graduate into friendship with Price—personal connections were a cornerstone of his teaching.

“I think he saw teaching as not just imparting knowledge or information but as an engagement with a complete human being,” Aers said.

The mystique of teaching When he began teaching at 25, Price had Duke under a spell. He dashed around campus with a blue coat thrown over his shoulders that students mistook for a cape, Tyler See price on page 3

At a meeting Friday, Tanaka was appointed editor of The Chronicle and president of the Duke Student Publishing Company, Inc., which publishes the independent studentrun daily newspaper. She currently serves as wire editor, arts editor for Recess and an associate editor for news.

Tanaka will succeed junior Lindsey Rupp for a oneyear term beginning in May. As editor, she will be responsible for the newspaper’s content and lead a staff of approximately 150 student reporters, editors, photographers, layout designers and other contributors.

“I’m extremely excited to serve as editor next year,” Tanaka said. “Working in journalism is what I want to do for the rest of my life, and I can’t think of a better way to spend my senior year than working with this organization that has already given me so much.”

Energy Secretary Steven Chu posted a note to “colleagues” on the department’s blog site Friday listing about $600 million in cuts, saying that the department will take “responsible steps to cut wasteful spending and reduce expenses.”

The budget to be unveiled next week will propose cutting spending on department management by nearly 13 percent, slashing the office of fossil fuel budget by 45 percent by zeroing out four programs, and cutting a hydrogen technology program by 41 percent. It will shrink the department’s vehicle fleet by 35 percent in the next three years

TEHRAN — A Web site connected to one of Iran’s opposition leaders on Sunday renewed calls for a rally in support of the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, setting the stage for a possible confrontation Monday between the government and its critics.

The statement on the site - the unofficial outlet of former presidential challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi - stressed that any use of violence by security forces would be an international “disgrace” and would undermine the government’s public support for the protesters in Egypt and Tunisia.

Iranian officials have refused to grant a permit for Monday’s demonstration, but the text posted on Kalameh.com said that the Interior Ministry would be held responsible for the safety of the protesters.

“I think we need to focus on better packaging our stories to capitalize on online,” she said. “I also want to balance the workload across the staff to increase the efficiency of production. We have a ton of talent here at The Chronicle and I’d really like to encourage people to utilize their skills in order to make this paper even better.”

She added that she hopes to encourage retention, espe-

price from page 1 wrote in the July 1986 issue of Vanity Fair.

The mystique crested with the publication of Price’s first novel, “A Long and Happy Life,” in 1962. Author Josephine Humphreys, WC ’67, read and loved the novel and, after glimpsing his picture in Seventeen magazine, judged Price to be the handsomest man she had ever seen.

Humpheys and about 100 others crowded into an auditorium to audition for a spot in Price’s writing class. He scrawled the first sentence of one of his short stories on the board, giving students an hour to carry on the plot.

Humphreys won a spot, but she was too shy to speak in class. She spied him on campus one day but looked down to avoid him.

“Don’t be so stuck up,” Price hollered from across the quad in his booming baritone, finally putting Humphreys at ease.

“Class with him is really hard for me to explain—it was like magic,” said Humphreys, who later won the Hemingway Foundation/ PEN award. “I think he knew that we were in awe of him, and he tried to make that easier.”

On the first day of his Spring 2008 course on John Milton’s poetry, Price—left paralyzed after a bout of cancer—rolled up to his desk, raised on a platform to set him above his students. Braden Hendricks, Trinity ’10, didn’t recall a cape, but he felt starstruck just the same.

cially among upperclassmen.

“I’d really like to focus on keeping our upperclassmen invested in The Chronicle because our upperclassmen are a wealth of knowledge and are huge assets to the paper,” Tanaka said. “I think the best way to motivate our all-volunteer staff is to offer encouragement and make the newsroom an enjoyable place to work, learn and make friends while maintaining the professionalism of the workplace.”

Tanaka began writing for The Chronicle her freshman year as an arts reporter for Recess. She began writing for news in her sophomore year and become an associate editor in about two months. In addition to her duties as wire

Hendricks visited Price during his office hours because he felt class participation—a huge chunk of the grade—would be a problem for him. He was shocked to find himself opening up about his parents’ divorce.

“He would ask polite but probing questions, kindly curious with a hint of playfulness,” Hendricks said. “If you were brave enough, he let his guard down.”

Price was aware of the curious hold he had over students, noting that although he had been decorated with many prizes, he had never won a teaching award at Duke.

“There are two possible reasons. One is I’m no damn good at it, or there’s something about me which has students a little bit edgy,” he told Weldon. “I love that—far better to be that than to be somebody’s pet dog, somebody’s pet teacher.”

Price’s stay at Duke encompassed not only most of his life, but much of the University’s.

In Price’s absence, Aers hopes Duke will take a new pledge to embody his values.

“It’s one thing for institutions to say we had this great man, but will you take his values seriously?” he asked. “Will you try and sustain what he stood for? Do you love what he stood for?”

The words’ echo Humphreys emerged from Price’s courses with ears highly attuned to the sound of words.

Although it did not come to her as naturally as it had to him, he endowed her with the sense.

editor and recess arts editor, Tanaka has also started taking photos for The Chronicle.

Rupp said she is looking forward to helping Tanaka transition to her new role.

“I’m sure as editor of The Chronicle next year Sanette will face her own challenges,” Rupp said. “I hope to be a resource for her through those difficulties and successes that she’ll have. I’m very confident that in May when her term starts Sanette will be prepared to take on the role.”

Tanaka plans to double major in history and public policy. She hopes to earn a certificate in policy journalism and media studies.

“I think you could lift a sentence out of any Reynolds Price book and I’d recognize it,” she said. “It’s like a voice print—the rhythm and the sound of it is just Reynolds.”

Singer James Taylor never had Price for a teacher, but the two became fast friends in the 1980s, collaborating on a pair of songs: “Copperline” and “New Hymn,” a Price poem that Taylor set to music. “[‘New Hymn’] was like a slow pitch right through the center to the strike zone for me, so easy to grab hold of and work with,” Taylor said. “I wish that happened more often.”

Price served as a sort of spiritual guide for Taylor, educating him outside the classroom.

“I was raised basically by atheists and had no access to any clear spirituality aside from what accompanies everything,” he said. “As a recovering addict, my program requires a spiritual practice. It’s been very difficult for me, and Reynolds was very helpful.... Those of us who knew him well, we carry him on.”

In the poem “Mid-term,” Price assesses his teaching by the numbers: of some 2,000 students, perhaps 200 looked at him with eyes wide in appreciation. A smaller number paid him an even greater tribute.

“Maybe another 40 or 50 have waked/ in the night years down the line and felt/ a dug-up lost line of verse in the shape/ my voice pressed on it once,” he wrote.

Like many teachers, Price advised his students that voracious reading was key to writ-

ing well. Some friends and students say the practice is now a way to stay close to him.

Actor Paul Fleschner, Trinity ’03, shares the reading list Price gave him with friends “almost as an evangelist.” He plans to read the diverse list in its entirety, though it will take years.

“I’m going to keep hearing his voice and the story that he loved to tell,” he added.

Taylor too expects to take comfort in the words Price left behind. But he knows it could never be quite enough—Price has left a void that almost defies description.

“It’s an awful lot that he has given us to have access to his spirit, but I miss him as a friend,” he said. “I just miss him like the devil.”

dukeengage from page 1 of the Cairo program and assistant professor of the practice for Asian and Middle Eastern studies, wrote in an e-mail Sunday.

“DukeEngage is both for service and learning, and seldom do we witness history as it is unfolding now in one of the oldest and most rich societies.”

DukeEngage officials met with under-

graduates accepted into the Egypt program Thursday evening. Students were asked to share their expectations and thoughts about the viability of the program, Lo said.

Freshman Blake Hament, who plans to participate in the program, said administrators have kept students updated of changes to the program.

“Of course things are changing pretty often, but... basically they’re waiting as long as they possibly can to make a final

decision,” Hament said. “They really want to give us the opportunity to go if it’s going to be safe.”

Director of DukeEngage Eric Mlyn said program officials will make a formal decision about the program’s status April 4.

Applicants were notified when they applied that DukeEngage cannot guarantee replacement programs for canceled trips, Mlyn said.

Last year, DukeEngage accommodated some students whose programs were cancelled. After the Kenyan program at the Women’s Institute for Secondary Research and Education was called off, students were relocated to Mombasa and Kakamega, where they volunteered through the Foundation for Sustainable Development.

Replacement programs were viable in Kenya due to existing relations with community partners, but that infrastructure does not exist in Egypt, Mlyn said. If the Cairo program is canceled, DukeEngage

will not provide students with alternative placements. This also occurred in 2008, when DukeEngage did not relocate students after the CampWISER program was cancelled.

The Cairo DukeEngage program works with six community partners in Cairo, including the Arab Academy, St. Andrew’s Refuge Ministry and the Association for Women’s Total Advancement and Development.

How these partners would be affected by the program’s cancellation is unclear, Lo said. During the majority of Egypt’s protests, Lo was unable to get into contact with the organizations, but Friday one partner provided encouragement from Egypt in a recent e-mail, he said.

“A lot of changes [are] happening with new movements starting within civil society to help Egypt,” Dr. Sanaa Ghanem, president of the Arab Academy. “Egypt needs help now more than ever as at last its way is clear for real democracy and growth.”

Although riots in Egypt caused the University to restrict travel to the country, the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak may calm the upheaval enough to continue with the DukeEngage in Cairo program this summer.

Behind top post play, Duke downs Boston College

After demolishing Wake Forest Friday night, the Blue Devils overpowered a dangerous Boston College squad 66-53 Sunday behind the superior post play of Krystal Thomas and Allison DUKE 66 Vernerey.

Boston Col53 lege (17-8, 4-6 in B.C. the ACC) entered Cameron Indoor Stadium with the eighthranked scoring offense in the country, averaging 80.8 points per game. Its highoctane attack was led by 6-foot-6 center Carolyn Swords, who came into the game

averaging 17.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Swords is usually a force down low for the Eagles, but No. 5 Duke was able to hold her to just six points off of four shots.

Moreover, Boston College’s 53 points was its lowest output of the season.

“The plan was just to limit her touches,” Thomas said. “Obviously she’s a prolific scorer, especially around the basket you might as well count it as money. So our plan was to keep the ball out of her hands as much as we could, give her no easy looks.”

New season brings high-scoring win for Duke

by Ryan Claxton THE CHRONICLE

The start of a new season brings a clean state and an opportunity to leave the past in the rear view mirror.

From the first whistle Saturday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium, No. 4 Duke (1-0) put its foot on the gas and never looked back, cruising to a DUKE 21 21-9 victory over Ohio State (0-1).

The Blue Devils wasted no time OH ST 9 getting started, as redshirt junior Emma Hamm notched the first goal of the season less than two minutes into the contest. Less than 12 minutes later, Duke had already piled up a 9-1 lead over the Buckeyes on redshirt freshman Maddie Salamone’s goal. It came off a free-position shot from the right side of the eight-meter arc with 16:30 remaining in the first half.

“We didn’t really know what to expect from Ohio State,” senior Virginia Crotty said. “So I think we handled it extremely well. We came out as a force, we came out ready to go and play

today. I think for us in the past, it’s been difficult for us to come out and play great immediately. So that was a goal of ours, we did it and we capitalized, and I’m very proud of all of them.”

The Buckeyes managed to trim the lead down to five by the 13-minute mark, but the Blue Devils simply had too many offensive weapons for Ohio State’s zone defense.

Hamm notched three of her team-leading four goals in the first half, and Duke led 14-5 going into the break.

The Blue Devils’ balanced attack spread out the Buckeyes’ defense and opened shooting lanes to key their offensive explosion. Duke used both sides of the field effectively and was dangerous from behind the net as well, utilizing its superior athleticism to knife through the defense.

“We won the draw, we took care of the ball and I felt like our spacing on offense and our ball movement really helped us find where the open people were,” head coach

Kerstin Kimel said. “We just took advantage of the defense they were playing against us.”

The offensive balance led to impeccable efficiency for the Blue Devils. They needed only 29 shots to post 21 goals, an impressive 72.4 percent success rate. A sharp passing display resulted in 13 Duke assists on the afternoon, including a team-leading three from Crotty and senior Christie Kaestner, who matched her assist total with three goals of her own to lead the team with six points.

By comparison, Ohio State managed only seven goals on 15 shots against starting goalie Mollie Mackler, who posted a solid 53.3 save percentage in her first game back from injury.

Overall it was a strong start for the Blue Devils, who are eager to leave their injury-riddled past behind and head down a new road. If Saturday was any indication, Duke could be in for a wild ride.

But it’s been no secret that Krzyzewski could really use a third go-to guy.

No one has been quite sure who would step up, but during Sunday’s contest against Miami, Curry wasn’t the only player who continued to make his case as a dependable scoring option.

The other candidate flew a bit under the radar, playing just 15 minutes due to a sprained ankle that Krzyzewski said had been suffered “about 48 hours” prior to the contest. Still, sophomore Ryan Kelly’s production belied his ailing ankle: He confidently sank several midrange jumpers en route to a 4-for-5 shooting performance and nine points.

In ACC play, Kelly has posted the team’s highest shooting percentage, making nearly 60 percent of his shots. He’s also posted the team-high percentage from behind the arc in conference play. Throw in 38 blocks on the year, and all that’s missing for the 6-foot10 forward are bigger rebounding numbers.

But if Kelly’s narrow frame keeps him off the court against burly big men like Miami’s Reggie Johnson, it is looking like Curry may emerge as a more-than-capable third scorer. The transfer from Liberty burst onto the scene with 22 critical points against North Carolina Wednesday, and he added 16 more against the Hurricanes. He hasn’t been shy about filling up other columns on the stat sheet either, adding a combined 10 rebounds, seven assists and six steals across the two games, while turning the ball over just three times in 74 minutes of play.

His production last night was especially valuable given its timing. After Smith left the game, Curry stepped up to score four of the Blue Devils’ next six points as they turned a two-point deficit into a Duke lead.

“If you have an MVP for the game, you give it to Curry,” Krzyzewski said.

As the clock ticked past 10 minutes, Miami point guard Durand Scott tried to evade Curry’s defensive pressure by back-

ing Curry down just across halfcourt. Curry reached around behind Scott, cleanly tipped the ball away, and got his body between his opponent and the ball, drawing a frustration foul from a pursuing Scott.

The play exemplified Curry’s recent contributions to the team, as a pesky defender (he’s tied with Smith for the team lead in steals despite playing nearly 250 less minutes), a reliably smart player (he leads the team in assist-to-turnover ratio) and a deadly shooter (he’s shot 57 percent from the floor over the last three games, including 53 percent from beyond the arc). He has made open and contested shots alike, and shown a new willingness to attack the rim off the bounce while shouldering a significant portion of the point guard duties.

So what’s changed? Krzyzewski said additional experience has been critical for Curry. He cited the other two transfer students that he’s coached at Duke, Roshown McLeod and Dahntay Jones. “[McLeod and Jones] ended up being pros, but their first years it took them a long time to get the feel of competition again, and Seth has done it quicker,” Krzyzewski said.

Curry credits his approach to the game.

“I think it’s just my mindset, to be honest. Just coming in being aggressive, not trying to leave it all on Nolan and Kyle, trying to come in and be that other option for us,” Curry said. “A lot of times before, I would catch it and if I didn’t have a shot, I was just looking to give it up. Now I’m able to make plays off the dribble.”

Asked if he or Nolan views himself as a point guard, though, Curry was quick to define his role.

“We’re just guards out there,” he said.

That’s a reminder that his and Kelly’s points count just as much as Singler’s or Smith’s. Given the expectations already placed on the two famous seniors, they may even count that much more.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — In Miami, a city well known for a certain basketball “Big Three,” the Blue Devils came into Sunday night’s matchup wondering who their third option might be.

With another career-defining performance from sophomore Seth Curry, however, Duke may have left South Beach with a definitive answer.

Curry’s hot shooting buoyed the Blue Devils in the first half, and Nolan Smith’s strong play in the second period derailed the Hurricanes, as No. 5 Duke (23-2, 10-1 in the ACC) pulled out an 81-71 “Coach told u victory in Coral Gables, Fla. are going to w “It’s big to not have a ships are goin letdown after a big game at home against [North Carogam lina],” Curry said. “Just to come in on the road and get a big time win in this environment… it’s big for us.”

After struggling to control the opening minutes of their last game against the Tar Heels, head coach Mike Krzyzewski went back to his game plans from contests against Maryland and N.C. State and looked to control the tempo offensively by establishing his post players.

On Duke’s first offensive possession, crafty interior passing led to an open Ryan Kelly shot from close range.

Both Mason and Miles Plumlee saw plenty of touches in the opening 10 minutes, and the pair combined to shoot 4-for-7 in the first half. Kelly added eight first-half points of his own.

“It’s always the focus to try to get [the forwards] confident. At times they can lose confidence and not be real aggressive,” Curry said. “So earlier in the game we tried to get them some touches.”

Miami’s sharpshooters kept the Hurricanes (1510, 4-7) in the game, however, as Duke had trouble in the first half dealing with Miami head coach Frank Haith’s four-guard lineup. With four shooters surrounding Reggie Johnson, one of the best post players in the conference, the Blue Devils’ defense was forced to guard from corner to corner. Led by the hot shooting of junior Malcolm Grant, who scored 12 points in the first half, the Hurricanes shot 50 percent from behind the arc and made five 3-pointers.

The Blue Devils, already down one star player in Kyrie Irving, faced another potentially season-changing injury midway through the first, when Johnson inadvertently poked Smith in the eye while battling for a rebound. Smith exited to the locker room for treatment, leading his teammates to believe he might not return in the game.

“He wasn’t on the bench,” Krzyzewski said. “That only happens when it’s something serious…. All of a sudden I look [at the bench] and say, ‘Where is he?’”

In Smith’s stead, Curry took over the game offen-

sively, scoring 13 points in the half—seven of which came after Smith left the floor in pain. Combined with the efforts of Singler, who shook off a rusty shooting performance against North Carolina to post a 14-point effort in Coral Gables, Curry’s production kept the game tight when it looked like Grant and the rest of the Miami shooters might break the game open.

“Anytime we’re on the road, teams are going to make runs, they’re going to feel confident and make shots just like that, so you just have to stay together as a team and continue to play,” Curry said.

After “gathering himself” at halftime, accords, ‘Teams that ing to Krzyzewski, Smith out for the second win champion- came half and proved why he’s ng to win this one of the most dangerous players in the ACC. me.’”

After 3-pointers from — Ryan Kelly Garrius Adams and Adrian Thomas cut the Blue Devils’ lead to one with 14:04 remaining, Smith scored five straight, including a lengthy 3-pointer in transition. His outburst gave Duke some much needed breathing room.

Strong performances by both Plumlees in limiting Johnson in the post allowed the Blue Devils’ perimeter defenders to focus on disrupting the Hurricanes’ shooters in the second half, and Miami struggled to convert from downtown. After a 5-for-10 performance in the first half, the Hurricanes shot just 3-for-12 in the second.

“I think we upped the intensity some,” Kelly said.

“We did some switching when they went small, but the main thing was we buckled down and said ‘We’re not going to let them score.’”

That defensive intensity, combined with Smith’s indomitable will to score in the second half, made for the play of the game with just under 12 minutes left.

As Johnson appeared to be headed for a thunderous dunk, Miles Plumlee rotated across the lane and his stonewall block of Johnson sent Smith in transition. Smith ran the length of the court and finished through multiple defenders with an acrobatic layup that extended Duke’s lead to ten.

“Nolan had that streak in transition…. That’s what gave us separation,” Krzyzewski said. “He just made plays on his own in transition and gave us that seven, nine, ten-point lead.”

The Blue Devils made their free throws down the stretch, and held on for the 10th conference win of the season, a mark that puts them a game and a half ahead of North Carolina with five league games remaining. According to a message delivered by Krzyzewski to his team before the game, however, Sunday’s win was a pivotal step in defending the ACC title.

“Coach told us,” Kelly recalled, “‘Teams that are going to win championships are going to win this game.’”

Duke slips with two non-conference defeats Tennessee wins 7-0 blowout in Sheffield

Matchup of top-10 teams ends in Florida win

by Jeff Scholl

by Margie Truwit

Reid Carleton and Henrique Cunha gave both the current and former No. 1 players in the country all they could handle this weekend. Unfortunately, the contest’s result was already decided in Tennessee’s favor by the time the duo’s matches reached the third set.

Led by topDUKE 0 ranked Rhyne Williams, the No. 3 TENN 7 Volunteers defeated No. 14 Duke 7-0 Saturday night at Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center.

Tennessee’s depth and experience ultimately proved too much for the Blue Devils (7-2) to overcome, as the Volunteers (5-0) displayed the talent that propelled them to a secondplace finish at last year’s NCAA Tournament.

Despite the lopsided overall score, head coach Ramsey Smith could not fault his squad for lack of effort.

“Overall I’m proud of the guys,” Smith said. “I know the score was 7-0, but I think everyone knows it was a much closer match than that. It really just came down to a couple points here and there on every court.”

Tennessee came storming out of the gates in the doubles competition, making quick work of Duke at the No. 1 and No. 3 spots.

The Blue Devils’ top pairing of Carleton and Cunha—ranked No. 12 in the nation—had yet to suffer a defeat in the spring season. But Volunteers Boris Conkic and John-Patrick Smith dispatched Carleton and Cunha 8-4.

Coming into this weekend, Duke knew it faced an uphill battle against No. 2 Florida.

Midway through the doubles matches Sunday, however, the Blue Devils found themselves neck-and-neck with the Gators (7-0), poised to tarnish Florida’s undefeated record.

Missed opporDUKE 2 tunities plagued No. 6 Duke (6-1), 4 UF though, as it suffered its first loss of the season, a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the talented and consistent Gators.

“I think we learned that there is no one in the country that we should be scared of or intimidated by,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said.

At one point, the duo of Ellah Nze and Monica Gorny at the top position went up 6-3 on Allie Will and Sofie Oyen, the No. 1 doubles team in the country. Nze and Gorny even held a match point before falling 9-7.

Duke’s three newly-formed doubles pairings couldn’t grind out a win, and the Blue Devils dropped the doubles point for only the second time this season.

Florida capitalized on its momentum at the No. 1 singles spot, as seventh-ranked Will quickly dispatched Nadine Fahoum in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. Down 3-0 in the match after Liz Plotkin fell at the No. 3 spot, Duke looked to mount a comeback bid. Mary Clayton decisively beat Olivia Janowicz, 6-3, 6-3, winning the

The Blue Devils took over the game in the second half with dominant post play from Thomas and Vernerey. Duke kept its offensive tempo at a fast pace—the Blue Devils were running up the floor and feeding the ball down low to either Thomas or Vernerey before the Eagles had a chance to set up their defense.

“I thought Duke found a way to penetrate within our zone,” Boston College head coach Sylvia Crawley said. “They started penetrating baseline, dishing to their post players for easy layups.

Once we had those breakdowns within our zone defense, I think it changed the momentum of the game.”

Vernerey finished the game with 15 points, matching a season high. Thomas picked up a double-double by scoring 16 points and pulling down 10 rebounds, and the Blue Devils outscored the Eagles in the paint 48-14.

In addition to shutting down Swords, the Duke defense was also smothering on the perimeter. In the game, the Blue Devils accumulated 13 steals and scored 10 points off fast breaks, while the Eagles scored none.

Boston College guard Jaclyn Thoman was the one exception to Boston College’s poor outside shooting, making things interesting by knocking down five 3-pointers. Thoman was the Eagles’ best offensive weapon, shooting 56 percent from beyond the arc on her way to scoring 21 points and snagging six rebounds.

But Thoman’s sharpshooting wasn’t enough, as Duke’s multitude of scorers put together a 12-2 run that put the game out of reach for the Eagles midway through the second half. Christmas continued to find the hoop as she finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds, and freshman Chelsea Gray was immensely important for the Blue Devils, handing out seven assists and tallying 13 points.

A challenging road matchup now awaits Duke, as the Blue Devils head to College Park Thursday to take on Maryland.

Head coach John Danowski wasn’t surprised with Howell’s gaudy numbers.

“If we’re playing the way we’d like to play, athletically and up and down, fast break and taking advantage of opponent’s mistakes, attackmen by nature of position are going to get a lot of points because they’re closest to goal,” Danowksi said. “And for the most part, everybody played right today.”

Even with two new starters on the attack, Duke had good chemistry from the outset, racing out to a 5-0 lead within the first eight minutes.

Sophomore attackman Josh Offit struck first on a feed from Howell, who served as more of a distributor in the early going as his younger teammates found a rhythm. In that opening stretch, freshman Jordan Wolf and sophomore David Lawson each had their first career points and transfer Jesse Fehr had his first goal as a Blue Devil.

“We started off really, really well,” junior CJ Costabile said. “With a lot of younger guys, sometimes the hardest thing is getting them to play right, and they ended up playing right, right off the bat.”

Costabile’s strong faceoff play, along with that of Brendan Fowler and Andrew Rullan, helped facilitate Duke’s dominance on offense. The Blue Devils won four of the first five draws, including 18-of-28 overall.

Duke’s defense also came up big in the opening period. Sophomore goalie Dan Wigrizer made seven saves and the Blue Devils were active on ground balls, ending the game with a 42-29 advantage.

“We dominated faceoffs early, and it helped us get up and down the field,” Howell said.

“Wigrizer made a couple great saves and we were able to play the way we want to play.”

Howell put the finishing touches on that run with a strike directly in front of the net with one second left on the clock, a precursor to the clinic he would put on after the break.

Even after Howell sat, the Blue Devils still dominated, outscoring Siena 4-1 in the final period and winning the ground ball and faceoff battles despite playing primarily substitutes.

“I was delighted with the focus of the team,” Danowski said. “The two things we wanted to do were we wanted to get after ground balls and we wanted to exchange the ball well…. If we could do those two things I thought we had a chance to be successful.”

Blue Devils their first point of the day. Despite falling behind 6-2 in the first frame, freshman Rachel Kahan subsequently dominated Alexandra Cercone, taking the second and third sets, 6-2, 6-0, respectively.

Ashworth highlighted Kahan’s confidence.

“Once she calmed down a little bit, she slowed down a little bit, she settled down… she handled it well,” Ashworth said. “She’s a great fighter, both hitting the ball but also with her reaction on the court. She’s brought a lot to our team so far.”

With the score at 3-2, the outcome of the match was left to two of Duke’s most experienced players, Nze and Reka Zsilinszka. Nze initially fell behind Joanna Mather, losing the first set, 6-3. But the senior captain came back with a vengeance, taking the second set, 6-0.

m. tennis from page 6 The No. 3 team of David Holland and Chris Mengel did not fare better, falling to Matteo Fago and Edward Jones by a score of 8-3.

“I think we could have done a little bit better in doubles to kind of get more momentum going,” Smith said. “We didn’t quite execute the way we needed to at No. 1 and No. 3.”

With the doubles point secured, Tennessee wasted no time making its mark in the singles ladder as well. The Volunteers took the first set in all six matches, and their overall lead soon ballooned to 3-0 with a pair of straight-set victories. Fred Saba could not hold off Fago and fell 6-4, 6-3. Jared Pinsky also had his hands full with Conkic, breaking the Serbian multiple times in the second set but eventually losing 6-4, 6-4.

Tennessee clinched the victory when Edward Jones beat Luke Marchese in three sets, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3. Even though the match was out of reach, the remaining Blue Devils contin-

The two battled in the final set, breaking each other several times before Mather won a decisive break point, moving the score to 3-5 and ultimately leading Florida to its seventh win and keeping its undefeated season intact.

“In the end, we have [Nze and Zsilinszka] out there who have won over 200 matches for us in their careers,” Ashworth said. “We came up short today, but… you want to be in that position, where those are the people that we definitely want out there to finish the match.”

Despite falling to the Gators Sunday, Ashworth viewed the match as a pivotal moment for the team’s confidence, as the Blue Devils look forward to the National Indoors in Charlottesville, Va. from Feb. 18-21.

“I thought that we learned a lot about ourselves,” he said. “I think that we proved to ourselves that we can play with any team in the country.... We’re not sitting in our locker room happy with the results at all.” ued to battle until the bitter end. No. 1 singles player Cunha got another crack at John-Patrick Smith, who finished last season as the topranked player in the nation. Cunha seemed on the brink of defeat as he trailed 5-2 in the second set, but the Brazilian launched an impressive comeback and took the second 7-6.

Mengel, playing at No. 3, found himself in a similar situation and also rallied from a 5-2 deficit in the second set to win 7-6. Not to be outdone, Carleton showed resilience by breaking Williams when the latter was serving for the match. He held on to beat Williams 7-6 in the second set as well.

Cunha, Mengel and Carleton all lost by a narrow margin in their third-set super tiebreakers. Nevertheless, their performances show that Duke can hold its own against the top teams in the country.

“I think it’s hard for the guys right now, but we have to look at the positives,” Smith said. “It’s very, very early in the season, so we’re going to have our shots.”

competitive in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Last Fall’s one-sided tilt against the University of Alabama revealed the huge chasm between Duke and major football powers. Wallace Wade was severely strained in its ability to accommodate not only excited students and fellow Duke fans, but also the hordes of Alabama supporters who flocked to the game. On the field the disparity was equally striking, as our team suffered a drubbing at the hands of the Crimson Tide.

Clearly Duke should never aspire to be like Alabama or another football behemoth. Wake Forest University—a school smaller than Duke that has played in four

bowl games and won more games than it has lost in the past 10 years—is a much better model to follow. With this benchmark in mind, we believe the Wallace Wade renovations reportedly in the planning stages are the ideal remedy for bringing our football program back to respectability. Changes such as removing the track are long overdue and will go a long way toward boosting the legitimacy of our program.

While we recognize that Wallace Wade is in dire need of a major overhaul, we support the University’s commitment to not scrapping the stadium entirely.

As the only facility outside of Pasadena, Calif., to host a Rose Bowl game, its his-

tory is clearly its greatest asset. The fact that Wallace Wade is located at the heart of campus symbolizes that athletics are not disconnected from the broader University, but they are in fact an integral part of the Duke community. This is the great strength of Duke Athletics, and it is the same criterion that should guide other stadium renovations.

Wallace Wade and Cameron should be modernized to maintain our competitive edge in athletics. But we hope to never see the day when Duke Athletics facilities begin to mimic professional sports stadiums rather than fill their meaningful role as campus buildings that are accessible to the University community.

Young Trustee Endorsements Vote Davis for YT Engineering Student Government is pleased to officially endorse Matt Davis for Young Trustee. We endorse Davis not because he is representative of Trinity, Pratt or any other aspect of Duke, but because his majors in both undergraduate schools give him many perspectives on campus and academic life. He is best able to represent all of Duke. ESG met with and carefully considered Matt Davis, Michelle Sohn, Ben Getson and Brooke Kingsland.

While all were thought to be strong candidates, Davis’ familiarity with the Duke students makes his voice invaluable at the highest levels of University leadership.

ESG notes that Davis stressed the need to build Duke’s brand and differentiate itself from other schools.

In addition, Davis indicated the importance of several proposed new academic programs in Pratt. These are critical points of emphasis moving forward for both the University at large as well as for individual schools and departments. It shows that Davis will become familiar with the agenda set forth by the leaders of any part of the University—those who know their program best— and work with them toward progress. Unification of plan and purpose across many levels of University leadership is a key to success that Davis understands well.

We feel that, relative to other elected positions, the Young Trustee is someone who should have a particular emphasis on knowing Duke students. Davis’ involvement with living on campus gives him this viewpoint.

The action of the Board of Trustees is beyond that of any single person, but the influential and well-versed perspective of a student is unique to the Young Trustee and an aspect of the position that all students should feel strongly about. The Young Trustee is the students’ direct window to the long-term navigation of the University. Davis is best fit to excel in that role.

For engineering students, and for all students, ESG is confident that Matt Davis will best represent our voice.

David Piech President, Duke Engineering Student Government Pratt ’12 Vote Sohn for Young Trustee The Inter-Greek Council is proud to announce its endorsement of Michelle Sohn for the position of Young Trustee.

Although all the Young Trustee candidates are extremely well qualified, we felt that Michelle’s boardroom experience, perspective and knowledge of the University make her the ideal individual for this position. She has proven herself as an exceptional communicator able to clearly and effectively express her honest opinions without hesitation. Her past positions on Duke Student Government, The Chronicle Editorial Board and Board of Trustees Undergraduate Education Committee, as well her extensive involvement with

the greater Duke community, broaden her vision of not only the administration and the undergraduate experience, but also the subtleties that make Duke such a unique institution.

As important as it is for a Young Trustee to possess the vision or the perspective for a certain objective, it is equally as important to have the determination and ambition to see that objective to full completion. Michelle has clearly demonstrated this ability by her push toward a gender-neutral housing alternative, turning it from a mere suggestion into a tangible option for the next academic school year.

We were especially impressed by her understanding of the multicultural and underrepresented greek organizations on campus. Often times, the administration and the media blanket greek life in general without taking much consideration of the nuances that define it.

In order for a Young Trustee to be able to represent the entire undergraduate student body, one must have extensive knowledge of both the institution as a whole and the intricacies that support it. The Inter-Greek Council feels that this knowledge, along with her qualifications and communication skills, make Michelle Sohn the best candidate for Young Trustee.

Xiao Zhu President, Inter-Greek Council Trinity ’12
