SCOUTING DUKE
The Blue Devils make the short trek to Raleigh Saturday after having competed against Queens and Tennessee in dual meet action earlier in the month. The Duke men suffered losses in both contests, while the Blue Devil women picked up a win at Queens before falling to Tennessee at home last weekend.
