Fall Success 

Q: Duke will head into the spring season following a very successful fall campaign. 

Can you talk a little bit about what you saw in the fall and what was different from 

the previous fall? 

A: The biggest thing that we saw was a difference in our attitude. We really wanted 

to focus on building as a team and getting better as a team. One of our big goals 

was to try to establish a bond between coaches and players and let our players 

know that we care about them as people, not just tennis players. 

Q: To what do you attribute the fall’s successes? 

The 2007-08 Blue Devils 

A: The success of our fall started towards the end of last spring. We wanted to make 

sure that the five people that were going to be returning knew that there was going 

to be a change in attitude, preparation and overall mindset of our program. I think 

the five of them took it to heart that they wanted to return our program to the upper 

echelon of college tennis. We had to have a commitment from the five of them before 

we could do anything. We knew that they would have passion if we as coaches 

challenged them and showed how much we wanted them to succeed. 

Q: You hosted the Duke Invitational this past November in Cary, N.C. Do you 

see that turning into a bigger, yearly event? 

A: We have never hosted anything like that before and I thought it was a good 

experience for our players to play some different teams than maybe we wouldn’t 

normally play in the fall. To have a Pac 10 team like Oregon come out for the 

weekend, it gave us a chance to face different competition. We would definitely like 

to do it again and more importantly play it on our campus. We have some of the 

best facilities in the country and it would be great to host something like that here. 

Springing Forward 

Q: Do you see a lot of excitement from the team about the upcoming spring season? 

Head Coach: Jamie Ashworth (Maryland, 1994) 

Assistant Coach: Kelly Parker (Duke, 2007) 

Q&A: Previewing 2008 and Recapping the Fall of 2007 

With Head Coach Jamie Ashworth 

Team Chemistry 

Q: The Duke tennis community is a close-knit family. How do you see this year’s 

team getting along and building up team chemistry? How important is team chemistry, 

especially on a small team? 

A: The team chemistry has been great. In college, tennis and team chemistry can 

be hard to have. Some girls come into our program having never been on a team 

if any sort; not soccer, not basketball, nothing. So, being on a team is a new thing 

for them. This group understands that they are out on the court to represent Duke and 

the entire Duke community and they are not just playing for themselves. On a small 

team as we have, team chemistry can make or break you. As long as the 

communication lines stay open and people trust one another then you can avoid a 

lot of the little problems that can come up. 

New Faces 

Q: Talk a little bit about the freshmen class, which was ranked second-best in the 

nation. What specifically do Ellah Nze and Reka Zsilinszka each bring to the table? 

A: They have both been outstanding for us this fall. They compliment each other so 

well and have really brought a sense of confidence back into our program. They are 

both unbelievable competitors and are willing to do whatever it takes to win matches 

and help our team win matches. Ellah expects to win every time she walks on the 

court and is as determined of a player as we have ever had. Reka honestly is a 

nightmare to play against. She makes her opponents work so hard to win points that 

most are not willing to pay the price to beat her. I know we as coaches and all of their 

teammates are excited to watch them develop over their four years here. 

Q: How do the freshmen compliment your returning players? 

A: Their personalities are both great. They know when to be serious at practice but 

both also know when it is time to laugh, smile, and have a good time. The biggest 

way they have complimented our team so far is through their confidence. 

A: We have had a lot of success in the time I have been coaching here at Duke 

and I can honestly say I have never had a team that is excited about a season as 

this team is. They saw this fall that there are going to be a lot of opportunities that 

lie ahead and they have been working hard to take advantage when those 

opportunities arise. 

Q: Talk a little bit about Tara Iyer’s return to Duke and what that addition will provide 

for the team. How will her experiences outside of Duke help her contribute to the team? 

A: We missed Tara last year and are excited to have her back. She has spent the 

last year working hard trying to develop her game. She fits right in with this group 

in that she loves to work hard and wants more than anything else to get better. Her 

confidence and work ethic are both things that the other seven girls will feed off of. 

2

Q: How important was the hiring of Kelly Parker? What advantages does the fact 

that she played at Duke give you and your team? 

A: Kelly was one of the most important hires I have had to make in my coaching 

career here at Duke. I wanted to hire someone that was not only knowledgeable on 

the court, but also would be vocal about what she believes. She is a great technician 

and a great strategist and had a lot of success as a player. Kelly understands the 

history and tradition of our program and was our number one player when we were 

ranked number one in country a few years ago. I knew this fall that one of our major 

goals would be to establish a winning culture and a winning attitude in our program 

and having experienced it as a player here, she was the perfect fit. I could not be 

happier with the decision that I made. 

Experience and Leadership 

Q: Tory Zawacki returns as a fifth-year senior. How will her experiences over her 

first four years help the team? 

A: Tory has experienced a lot over her four years and has played a role in the 

successes we have had. The biggest thing that she can do is try to lead by her 

example. She has been through the battles in our conference and knows what to 

expect on a daily basis. 

Q: Who will you look to for leadership this spring? 

A: For the first time in 12 years we decided to have a captain on our team and in the 

spring the players voted to name Melissa Mang our captain. She has been a great 

fit for this role and has shown that she is willing to do anything for our program. With 

this group that we have, all of them can lead in different ways, even the two freshmen. 

Facing Tough Competition 

Q: Throughout the fall, a lot of the players faced top-ranked. How do you think that 

prepares them, especially the younger players, for the strong competition they will 

face in the spring? 

A: As a team we faced more ranked opponents this fall than we have in any fall that 

I can remember. This team needed to know that it can compete with not only the best 

players in the country but also the best teams in the country. We had a doubles team 

in Melissa Mang and Amanda Granson beat both the No. 1- and No. 2-ranked 

players in the country. We had one of our freshmen, Ellah Nze, set a collegiate tennis 

record in beating two former NCAA champions in the same day; that was the first 

time anyone in college tennis had ever done that. The best preparation for us for the 

spring was to try and play the best competition this fall. In talking to everyone on our 

team now that the fall is over, we have a great deal of confidence because of that 

high level of competition. 

Q: Your dual match schedule for 2008 is typical of the Duke program in terms of facing 

tough competition. The schedule features 11 teams who were ranked in the top 25 

2007-08 Freshman Class 

2007 ITA Southeast Region 

Doubles Champions 

in the 2007 final ITA rankings, and six of those teams were ranked in the top 10. 

Can you talk a little bit about the schedule, why you elect to play such elite programs 

in the regular season and how that will prepare this team for the post-season? 

A: Our schedule is unbelievably tough, but I do think this team is up to the challenge. 

If we are going to reach all of our goals we need to compete with the best teams 

on a daily basis. I have always felt that the tougher the regular season schedule 

we play, the more we will be prepared come NCAA Tournament time. 

Competing in the ACC 

Q: Including Duke, seven of the 12 ACC teams were ranked in the top 25 at season’s 

end in 2007, and Georgia Tech is the reigning NCAA Champion. How beneficial 

is it for your team to compete in such a strong conference? 

A: When I first started at Duke the ACC was third or fourth in terms of overall strength 

in women’s tennis across the country. In the last few years we are now the premier 

conference not only to play in, but also to coach in. Every day we have to be prepared 

to play a tough match and every day our team knows that they are going to face 

great competition. There will be nothing that prepares us better for the NCAA 

Tournament than both the ACC schedule and the ACC Tournament. 

Q: Do you see the conference shaping up to be just as competitive this year as 

it has been in past years? What do you attribute that to? 

A: It is going to be even better this year than last year. I attribute a lot of it to the 

dedication that other ACC schools have put into women’s tennis. I see it in the 

facilities, the support staffs, and especially the coaches. We have a great group of 

coaches right now and all want to keep the ACC the toughest conference in the 

country. 

Home Court Advantage 

Q: The 2008 schedule features 12 home matches. Talk about home-court advantage 

and how important it is to defend your home courts? 

A: It is going to be great having 12 home matches. Hopefully we can get the Duke 

and Durham communities behind our program and generate some interest in 

women’s tennis. I know our team loves to play in front of a crowd and we have 

a great product to come out and watch. Defending our home courts is something 

that we always talk about. We want to make Duke the toughest place to play in the 

country and hopefully we are on our way to doing that. If we take care of what we 

need to in the regular season then we will have the opportunity to play the first two 

rounds of the NCAA Tournament at home. If teams know it is a tough place to play 

and see that we have done a great job defending our home court throughout the year, 

we will have a mental edge in those two matches. Plus, we want to give the people 

at Duke and those in the Durham community something exciting and something fun 

to watch. People will support a winner.

1996-97 .................... 12-1 

TOTAL .................. 241-59 

In 2005-06, Ashworth rounded out a decade as the head coach of the women's tennis 

program, as his 10th year saw the Blue Devils go 20-8 overall and 9-1 in ACC play. Mang 

became the sixth Blue Devil freshman all-time and third under Ashworth (Ansley Cargill, 2001; 

Kelly McCain, 2002) to receive ACC Rookie of the Year honors, as she also received All-ACC 

accolades along with Bercek and Jackie Carleton. Bercek and Carleton each received bids to 

the NCAA Singles Championships and Bercek received her third career All-America nod. The 

Blue Devils ended the campaign ranked ninth in the country. 

After serving as a Duke assistant coach from 1994-95 through 1996-97, Ashworth took 

over the head coaching reigns on March 20, 1997, and paced Duke to a 12-1 overall record and 

a 4-0 conference mark to wrap up the season. 

In his first full year as a head coach (1997-98), Ashworth led Duke to 27 wins, then a 

school record, the school's 11th consecutive ACC regular season and tournament titles, Duke's 

best final national ranking at No. 2, its third consecutive Final Four and the program's first 

appearance in the NCAA title match. 

The 1998-99 season was no letdown as he guided Duke to 27 wins, its 12th consecutive 

ACC regular season and tournament titles, its fourth straight Final Four and a final national ranking 

of No. 3. 

In 1999-2000, Ashworth guided a young Blue Devil team to a 23-6 record, a 13th consecutive 

ACC Tournament title and a Sweet 16 NCAA finish. The following campaign (2000-01) saw 

Ashworth lead the Blue Devils to 27 victories and an Elite Eight NCAA finish, along with Duke's 

14th consecutive ACC Championship and an undefeated 8-0 ACC regular season mark. 

In 2001-02, Duke posted a 25-5 overall record and won the ACC regular season title with 

an 8-0 mark. In 2002-03, Ashworth led the Blue Devils back to the NCAA Final Four, tied an ACC 

record with 30 victories, won the ACC regular season and tournament titles, and claimed the 

National Team Indoor Championship. With one of his youngest teams in his coaching history, 

Ashworth led Duke to the Elite Eight and a 22-5 mark in 2003-04. 

During Ashworth's term as the assistant coach, the Blue Devils recorded a 59-13 overall 

record and a perfect 20-0 ACC mark. In his first year as an assistant in1994-95, Duke went 22- 

6, advanced to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals and finished the year ranked No. 7. In 1995- 

96, he helped pace Duke to a 25-4 mark (then a school record for wins in a season), a trip to the 

NCAA Final Four and a national ranking of No. 3. In 1996-97, Duke advanced to its second 

straight NCAA Final Four, finishing the year third in the nation, once again. 

Ashworth has coached 20 different All-ACC selections and 16 different All-America honorees, 

as well as four collegiate grand slam champions during his stint with the Blue Devils. That 

list that includes four-time All-America and 1998 NCAA singles national champion, Vanessa 

Webb, who is Duke tennis' only Honda Award winner and Olympian. Three of Duke's ACC 

Rookie of the Year honorees have come under his tenure, as well as two ITA National Rookies 

of the Year. Ashworth was named both ACC Coach of the Year and Wilson/ITA Southeast Region 

Coach of the Year on two occasions (2001, 2003). 

A 1994 speech communication graduate of Maryland, Ashworth was a four-year letterwinner 

for the Terrapins and served as a captain of the team his junior and senior years. 

A native of Amherst, N.H., Ashworth resides in Durham.

Why Duke? 

Melissa Mang 

“I chose to come to Duke because of the university’s 

outstanding reputation in both academics and athletics. 

Duke is unique because it offers a wide spectrum 

of opportunities to excel in both education and 

athletics while maintaining an encouraging and special 

social environment.” 

Tory Zawacki 

“When I visited Duke, I realized it had everything 

to offer for me. Challenging myself both on the court 

and off with strong academics and one of the best 

teams in the country was something I wanted to do, 

and knew I could do at Duke. Most importantly, 

spending time with the coaches and girls made me 

realize the kind of team I wanted to be a part of and 

represent. I love my teammates, my friends and the 

opportunities I have at Duke!” 

Amanda 

Granson 

"From the moment I stepped onto campus I knew it 

was the place for me, and that was seven years ago. 

I visited Duke when my sister Katie played tennis 

here and fell in love with the school. Duke’s unique 

combination of both excellent academics and athletics 

is unparalled.”

Duke Tennis Facilities 

Over the past decade, Duke University has invested over $25 million to make 

its athletic facilities among the finest in the nation. This commitment is evident in the 

changes instituted directly for the men’s tennis team. Duke Athletic Director Joe 

Alleva continues to lead the way in providing Duke with top facilities to help studentathletes 

stay in peak condition. 

Originally completed in the summer of 1987, the Duke Tennis Stadium was 

renovated into the Ambler Tennis Stadium. The facility was funded by Merrill 

Ambler (pictured below) and features seat-backs for fan seating, a scoreboard, new 

court surfaces and restrooms. 

In addition to the fine outdoor courts, the Duke athletic department completed the 

Sheffield Indoor Tennis Center in the winter of 2000. Named after Karl and Alice 

Sheffield, the facility features six courts, offices for the coaches, a hall of fame room 

and locker rooms. It was awarded the 2000 United States Tennis Association 

Outstanding Tennis Facility on February 25, 2001. The Sheffield Indoor Tennis 

Center is only the third tennis center in North Carolina to receive the award since 

it began in 1981. 

The modern training room provides all of the equipment and services necessary 

to keep the Duke women’s tennis team healthy and in action. The trainer’s office 

is off the main training area, allowing the players convenient access to this care. 

The weight room is another extensive area, directed by strength coordinator 

Anne Tamporello. The 3,300 square-foot weight room has over three tons of free 

weights along with Nautilus, Hydra-Gym and Universal stations. 

Debuting in the spring of 1999, the Schwartz-Butters Athletic Center was 

completed. It houses the men’s & women’s basketball offices, the new Duke Hall 

of Fame, basketball weight room, the Campbell Academic Center and training room 

facilities. 

Some of the recent additions to the tennis facilities include a new state of the art 

Daktronics indoor scoring system. This project, which was installed in the fall of 

2006, includes seven wireless scoreboards. There are six individual scoreboards 

(one mounted behind each court) that provides the player’s name as well as the 

game and set scores. The main scoreboard shows the dual match score and scores 

of all six courts. Also the six main outdoor courts have been resurfaced in the US 

Open (Duke) blue color.

The Atlantic Coast Conference - A Tradition of Excellence 

Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. 

However, in today's intercollegiate athletics, competition has 

become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible 

to maintain a high level of consistency. 

Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in 

its 55th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation 

as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences 

in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers 

support it. 

Since the league's inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 

105 national championships, including 56 in women's competition and 

49 in men's. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC 

student-athletes 139 times in men's competition and 86 times in 

women's action. 

The success of women's tennis in the ACC has been profound 

since it became a conference sport in 1983. It reached unprecedented 

levels in 2007 with the league sweeping all three NCAA team, singles and doubles 

championship titles. Georgia Tech captured the team trophy, while Miami's Audra 

Cohen won the singles crown and the doubles championship was claimed by Sara 

Anundsen and Jenna Long from North Carolina. 

The team and doubles titles were both firsts in the history of ACC tennis. Georgia 

Tech became the first school to take home the team championship and it was also 

the first NCAA championship in any sport for the Yellow Jackets. North Carolina's 

tandem of Anundsen and Long made its mark in the league record books as the first 

national doubles champion. 

Only the second player in the league to have been tabbed Intercollegiate Tennis 

Association National Player of the Year twice in her career, Miami's Cohen became 

the third national women's singles champion from the ACC. Duke's Vanessa Webb 

was the league's first NCAA individual singles champion in 1998, and the ACC 

produced a second national singles champion a few years later in Wake Forest's Bea 

Bielik (2002). 

Cohen is also among a trio of ACC women's tennis players to have captured the 

elite Honda Sports Award. She joined Georgia Tech's Kristi Miller and Duke's 

Vanessa Webb, who first earned the honor in 1999. Miami's Cohen (2006-07) and 

Georgia Tech's Miller (2005-06) are the league's only two-time recipients of the national 

award. 

In all, the league boasts five National Players of the Year, four National Rookie 

Players of the Year and four annual Honda Sports Award winners. 

Over 130 players have earned All-America distinction by the ITA, NCAA or both 

organizations, including Duke's Amanda Johnson (2001-04) and Vanessa Webb 

(1996-99). Both are the only four-time ITA All-America recipients in ACC women's 

tennis history. 

ACC women's tennis has been a strong contender in the NCAA Tournament since 

1982. The league has been well-represented in the national event in all but two years 

(1985 and 1989). An ACC school has advanced to the NCAA semifinals in each 

of the last five years, and the league has had at least one team in the quarterfinals 

in the last 17 seasons. 

For the second straight year, women's tennis matched an all-time high with nine 

of its league members qualifying for the NCAA Tournament that included a leaguebest 

six teams advancing to the second round. The 2006 campaign was the first time 

nine teams went to the national event and it matched that mark again last season. 

Junior Melissa Mang has earned All-ACC 

honors in each of her two years as a Blue Devil. 

The 2006 season marked the first time an ACC team (Miami) advanced to the 

NCAA finals since 1998, falling short to No. 1 Stanford. Georgia Tech took it a step 

further in 2007 as the Yellow Jackets clinched the first-ever NCAA Women's Tennis 

team title for the ACC and the school. Duke was the first league member to make 

an appearance in the finals of the national tournament in 1998, the same year the Blue 

Devils produced individual singles champion Vanessa Webb. 

Women's tennis has also demonstrated success in the classroom with approximately 

30 student-athletes receiving Academic All-America citations. In addition, the 

league has had 35 tabbed ITA Scholar Athletes.

Webb became

Award in 1999.

Duke University was created in 1924 by James 

Buchanan Duke as a memorial to his father, Washington 

Duke. The Dukes, a Durham family who 

built a worldwide financial empire in the manufacture 

of tobacco and developed the production 

of electricity in the two Carolinas, had long been 

interested in Trinity College. Trinity traced its 

roots to 1838 in nearby Randolph County when 

local Methodist and Quaker communities joined 

forces to support a permanent school, which they 

named Union Institute. After a brief period as 

Normal College (1851-59), the school changed its 

name to Trinity College in 1859 and affiliated with 

the Methodist Church. 

The college moved to Durham in 1892 with 

financial assistance from Washington Duke and 

the donation of land by Julian S. Carr. In December 

1924, the school’s trustees gratefully accepted 

the provisions of James B. Duke’s indenture creating 

the family philanthropic foundation, The 

Duke Endowment, which provided, in part, for 

the expansion of Trinity College into Duke University. 

As a result of the Duke gift, Trinity underwent 

both physical and academic expansion. The 

original Durham Campus became known as East 

Campus when it was rebuilt in stately Georgian 

architecture. West Campus, Gothic in style and 

dominated by the soaring 210-foot tower of Duke 

Chapel, opened in 1930. Academic expansion of 

the university included the establishment of new 

graduate and professional schools. 

Modern times have seen Duke realize its 

founder’s aspirations to become a major center of 

learning. The Duke University Medical Center has 

achieved international prominence, and many 

Duke schools and departments are consistently 

ranked among the nation’s best.

The average temperature in 

Durham is 59 degrees and 

snowfall totals less than 

eight inches per year. A 

temperate climate and the 

unique blend of big-city 

activity with an unfrenzied 

pace makes Durham a great 

place to call home. 

The Durham Bulls, Tampa 

Bay’s AAA baseball affiliate, 

are a popular attraction 

among area residents.

In 2002, Employment Review Magazine ranked 

“The Triangle” area of Durham, Chapel Hill 

and Raleigh as the number one place in 

America to live and work. Money Magazine 

made the same selection in 1994. 

Brightleaf Square, shown 

above, in downtown 

Durham is a turn-of-thecentury 

tobacco warehouse 

renovated as a 

unique shopping, dining 

and entertainment district. 

Located in the heart of 

North Carolina’s rolling Piedmont 

region, Durham stands out as a gem among 

southern cities. Through the years, the city has 

evolved from a tobacco and textile town into an 

international center for medicine, scholarship, biotechnology 

and electronics. 

Founded in 1853, Durham is widely recognized 

for its diversity. Originally a manufacturing 

center, the city now is known for excellence in 

medicine, education, research and industry. The 

wide range of activities available in the area lends 

the city a multifaceted appeal that strikes even 

first-time visitors. 

Durham has a natural appeal as well, characterized 

by 98,000 acres of hardwood and evergreen 

forests including the only remaining old 

growth Piedmont bottomland forests and 7,800 

acres of cropland. Hills and dales, meandering 

rivers and streams, several lakes, 26 rare plant 

species and several rare species of birds and animals 

can also be found here. 

With 187,000 residents in the one-city county, 

Durham is the fourth-largest city in North Carolina. 

It is ideally located on the large and small 

scale. Within the immediate area it stands as the 

pinnacle of the “Triangle” region of North Carolina, 

a metropolitan population of 1,000,000 

people that includes Chapel Hill to the south and 

west and Raleigh, the state capital, to the south 

and east. On a regional level, this area is the primary 

center of culture, sports, education and government 

between Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. 

With excellent sports and cultural activities 

in the area, Durham is a fun place to be. People 

from all walks of life — academic, industrial, professional, 

agricultural — blend to provide a warm, 

rich sense of hospitality and diversity.

From the mountains to the west and the beaches of the Atlantic 

Ocean to the east, North Carolina’s landscape is as diverse 

— and beautiful — as any state in the nation. Millions of 

tourists come to North Carolina each year to take advantage 

of all the state has to offer.

North Carolina is a state of diversity — diversity 

in its population, in its economic production and 

in its beautiful scenery. According to the 2000 census, 

North Carolina was the home to more than eight 

million people of many nationalities. 

Known for its major production of tobacco, North 

Carolina is also a major producer of textiles and furniture, 

fueled by the thousands of acres of forests that 

cover the state. Among its other leading products are 

broilers, hogs, turkeys, greenhouse products, sweet 

potatoes, corn, soybeans, peanuts and eggs. In addition, 

there are hundreds of coastal fisheries that yield 

shrimp, menhaden and crabs as the primary catches. 

The scenery throughout the state is diverse and 

beautiful. From the mountains to the west and the 

beaches adjoining the Atlantic Ocean to the 

east, North Carolina is one of the nation’s 

most picturesque states. Some of the major 

attractions in the state include the Great 

Smoky Mountains, the Blue Ridge National 

Parkway, the Cape Hatteras and 

Cape Lookout National Seashores, the 

Wright Brothers National Memorial at 

Kitty Hawk, Guilford Courthouse and 

Moores Creek National Military Parks. 

This scenery, enhanced by a mild climate 

with enough rainfall to assist with the state’s 

abundant greenery, attracts millions of visitors who 

come to North Carolina annually to take advantage 

of its clean and uncluttered beaches, its string of forests 

and the mountain ranges in the western part of 

the state. 

In recent years, North Carolina has become a favorite 

place for the entertainment industry. Some of 

the television shows and movies filmed in North Carolina 

include Cast Away (2001), The Green Mile 

(1999), Dawson’s Creek (1997-2003), Kiss the Girls 

(1997), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), 

Forrest Gump (1998), The Fugitive (1993), The Last 

of the Mohicans (1992), Sleeping with the Enemy 

(1991), Bull Durham (1988) and Dirty Dancing 

(1987).

A mainstay among the elite Division I athletic 

programs, Duke University once again ranked near the 

top during the 2006-07 athletic year. The women’s golf 

team collected its fifth NCAA Championship while the 

field hockey, women’s lacrosse and men’s lacrosse 

squads advanced to the NCAA Final Four. 

The Blue Devils registered three ACC Tournament 

and five league regular season titles on the year. 

Duke was also very successful nationally in 2006- 

07 as 15 teams competed in NCAA Tournament action. 

The Blue Devils had five teams finish in the top-10 of 

the national rankings. Here is a sampling of Duke’s 

accomplishments: 

• Shannon Rowbury became the first Blue Devil 

women’s track & field member to claim NCAA 

Champion honors as she ran a 4:42.17 mile at the NCAA 

Indoor Championship. 

• The Blue Devils had three National Player of the Year 

honorees (Amanda Blumenherst, Matt Danowski 

and Lindsey Harding), one National Defensive Player 

of the Year (Harding), one Rhodes Scholar (Chas 

Salmen) and one Lowe’s Senior Class Award winner 

(Alison Bales). 

• Fourteen Blue Devils were selected Academic 

All-America/National Scholar Athlete. 

• A total of 29 student-athletes were selected 

All-America during the season, while Duke
