Opening Serve
• Duke begins a grueling four-match road stretch starting Friday in Dallas, Texas at No. 10 SMU. First serve is set for 8 p.m. (ET) inside Moody Coliseum. The Blue Devils jump on a flight for Pittsburgh to take on the No. 1 Panthers, Nov. 8 at 1 p.m., at Fitzgerald Field House.
Last Time Out
• Duke lost in heartbreaking fashion in five sets to No. 16 Georgia Tech last Friday before eclipsing Clemson, 3-1, Sunday. The Blue Devils led 11-4 in the fifth set before the Yellow Jackets mounted an incredible comeback for the 16-14 win to take home the 3-2 match win.
