On the schedule it was only one match, on a late-September Thursday night at Notre Dame.
But for the Duke women’s soccer team the logistics proved complicated, if not familiar, in this age of super-sized college athletics conferences and the challenges that have come with the growth. To make it to Notre Dame by Thursday night, Duke left campus on Wednesday morning.
The team flew commercial, Raleigh to Chicago, and from there rode a bus to Notre Dame. The Blue Devils left with a 3-0 victory, bussed back to Chicago, and then waited for another flight home.
