SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- If Duke will go as far this season as Lexie Brown and Rebecca Greenwell take it, then it's worth noting the lengths those two players propel each other.

As part of preseason conditioning, the Blue Devils are tested with a series of sprints, a shuttle run. The test ends, at least in theory, not at a fixed limit but when the player fails to meet the time constraint. Greenwell and Brown completed the requisite number of rounds necessary to pass. As others dropped out, they kept going. The goal Greenwell set for herself came and went.
