Vega, Wright, and Davidson were each named first team All-Americans by Softball America today. Well deserved!

Final in 9 innings: Duke 4 Misery 3 After 8 scoreless innings, Duke plated 4 in the top of the 9th and the Tiggers fell short, only scoring 3 in the bottom of the innings. :-o On to the Softball World Series where they get to play #1 Oklahoma who beat them 3-0 very early in the season. I only saw t...

The softball was less fun. I watched on time delay. 1-3 in favor of Mizzou. Mizzou treats their pitching more like baseball than other teams. A designated starter; if they have a lead, a designated middle reliever; and if they still have a lead, a closer. The latter collected her 15th save of the se...

Duke v. Mizzou at 1pm on the other diamond. The network is TBD, but it will be on one of the ESPN channels and is also available on ESPN+.

Coworker Awbrey got a power strip and asked maintenance to move her desk back to drop the cord to the outlet.

They've been drilling and banging for an hour. Coworker Emily texted and asked if they were building the Great Wall of China.

Maybe they're getting paid hourly?

Duke is off to Missouri for their third straight supers. First game will be Friday at 2 on ESPN2. Missouri needed extra innings in an extra game to beat Omaha yesterday. Mizzou still scares me. On papers we should win. But their offense is better than it looks on first glance, and they have good pi...

In the good news department, 6'2" guard Riley Nelson, rising sophomore from Maryland, is transferring in to Duke. She was regarded as a top-tier shooter in her high school days, but didn't really demonstrate it in limited action last season for Maryland. Her last game was on January 9th when she suf...

Softball falls from 3rd to 6th in the polls after the double-header loss on Saturday. Here's hoping they win out to keep a hosting spot.

Hello, Maliq!

Friday softball:

cheaterettes 4
Duke 6


Saturday softball:

cheaterettes 0
Duke 8

Also worth mentioning the Sunday softball:

Cheaters: 1
Duke: 6

I'm not "scared", the rest of the season is all gravy to me. We've made it further than I expected, so I'm just enjoying the ride from here on. That being said, UCONN is beatable. Syracuse proved it, they could have won that game. It was only a 3 or 4 point game under two minutes. The problem for t...

One of our current inmates just got this from his mama: “Just got home from the doctor and he took a lot of fluid off my right liver.”

I mean, thank goodness the doc didn't take fluid off the wrong liver!

Duke will be facing UCONN on Saturday. They are 100% beatable, and have been five times this season. Bring 'em on. :happy-bouncyblue: I'm not optimistic, I'm afraid. But UConn only has two losses since mid-December, and those came to Notre Dame and South Carolina, neither of whom we could beat, eve...

Forty one smiles, one for each point that the Blown Out Bangharts lost by!

To do that would take forty-seven smiles, not a mere forty-one.

More than double, clap, clap, clap-clap-clap!!!!

It's not every day that you see a team post a 18-point turnaround when it matters most. Keep dancin', ladies!!!

The uNC ladies fall with a whimper to South Carolina, 88-41. Meanwhile, Duke is dancing on to Portland!!! I think the second part makes me happier, but it's close.

Duke survived a horrendous 2nd quarter (scored 5 points) to overcome Richmond 72-61 and advance to face Celeste Taylor and Ohio State on Sunday. My own feeling is that the horrendous quarter was the first one. We allowed 26 points in that one quarter. That's a pace to allow 104 points in a full gam...

Duke Hall of Famer and Miami head coach Katie Meier is calling it a career. Katie Meier, who led the Miami women's basketball team to 10 NCAA tournaments and guided the Hurricanes to the Elite Eight last season, announced her retirement from coaching Thursday. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-ba...

Absolutely brutal selection for Duke. We're off as a 7 to play 10 seed Richmond. Assuming we get past them, we then will likely be saying hi to Celeste Taylor and two seed Ohio State on their home court. IF we get out of the weekend, we also have #1 USC, #3 UCONN, #4 VT, and #6 Syracuse all in our ...

Vermont won't be an easy win, and Wiscy/JMU winner won't be either.

I won't be shocked if we are not Sweet Sixteen bound this year.

I'm fairly confident about that first one. Less about the second. But I still think our chances of making the Sweet Sixteen are better than 50:50.
