Volleyball takes down Duke

ND is now 3 - 0 in ACC play and 12 - 3 overall with a four set win over Duke. ND won the first two sets (25-23, 31-29). Duke took the third set 26-24, after the Irish fought back from a 20-16 deficit to take the lead. ND won handily in the fourth set 25-17.

The three ACC wins -- against Louisville, Miami, and Duke -- were against teams that beat the Irish last year. ND only won one set against these teams last year. They only lost one set against them this year.

This is a team worth seeing in person if you have a chance.
