VB: ACC Champions!

On Senior Day, Duke stages a remarkable comeback and beats UNC in five, 21-19 in the fifth.

Duke was down 2-1 and down 22-14 in the fourth before going on an 11-1 run to force a fifth set.

Career high in kills for freshman Jordan Tucker, and seniors Cook and McCurdy came up huge at the end.

Duke gets the ACC automatic bid and is likely to host first and second round matches. The selection show is Sunday night.

Well done, ladies.

On a down note, the duke store was closed. What is wrong with those people? It's Black Friday and all I wanted was a black hat.

Box score confirms impression from watching the match on teevee: Duke stole that one.

The Blue Devils were out-hit, out-blocked, had 41 hitting errors, and still beat a ranked team.

Just call it Senior Day Magic.

My favorite number from the box score: attendance 5571. Would be nice to see that level of support if Duke gets to host first and second round matches.

An 11-1 run can and did make up for a lot of mistakes. Lots of visitors in the crowd.
