One of the more interesting games on the women’s schedule doesn't even count. That’s because Duke played an exhibition game against the US Women’s National Team on Sunday and, not surprisingly, got clobbered, losing 87-58.
But the Blue Devils competed well and, as coach Kara Lawson said after the game, learned a lot: “Failure or times where you have to show your resilience. That’s when you get better as a player and as a team. And so that’s what this provided for us. It was hard to play against them. And we did it. And I think the growth that we can get from it is why you play the game.
