Covid hit the men’s team as most of you surely know but that it hit the women’s team got less attention.
Duke went to Blacksburg without Shayeann Day-Wilson, Emma Schmidt and Imani Lewis, who were in Covid protocol.
As Duke coach Kara Lawson said afterwards, Duke still had enough talent to win but didn’t:
“We had enough talent here to win the game, and we were outplayed. That’s the story. And there may be games we have certain players, and we don’t have certain players. And I’m not going to sit up here and ever want to complain about that.
