In 4 years to win the ACC Championship is a great accomplishment. Monumental achievement by Duke softball. Coach of the year should be Marissa Young!

Maybe, maybe not. Clemson avoided FSU and Notre Dame and lost twice each to us and Va. Tech. I realize everyone's schedule was limited, but Clemson had it particularly easy this year. Also, it's not as if she is guaranteed to get better. All her opponents now have a book on her and will be adjusting next year. I'm not saying she's not an excellent player, but maybe Adam Morrison is a more apt comp right now.
And Congrats to the team. Coach Young has worked her butt off on the recruiting trial. I believe she's going to continue to get great talent in the years to come.
The good news is: We're the 13 seed in the tournament!
The bad news: We got screwed, being placed in the Athens regional where they're also sending Georgia, despite us being the seeded team. Just screwed over.
<devildeac> anyone playing drinking games by now?
7:49:36<Wander> drink every qb run?
7:49:38<loran16> umm, drink every time asack rushes?
7:49:38<wolfybeard> @devildeac: drink when Asack runs a keeper
7:49:39 PM<CB&B> any time zack runs, drink

I have no idea how this stuff works, so I'll just ask.
Could we not have tried to find some other venue in the Triangle area to host? Maybe even N.C. State if they'd have been willing?
The sites were selected earlier this year based upon who they expected to be potential seeds (20 sites selected only 16 would be used). No NC team was expected to be seeded so none was selected.
Annoyingly Clemson WAS selected but since they got sent to Alabama I guess the ncaa didn’t want to make them host a regional for duke that Clemson wasn’t actually IN.
Oh ok.
Thank you loran.
We were going to play on someone else's home field no matter what. It could be worse. You have to be invited to win. We were invited. It's up to the girls to get the job done. Have faith.
Saw the team on ESPN getting their NCAA game selection. There is an ACCN interview with Head Coach Marissa Young . Thought Duke played UNC G in Durham. I guess it is Athens,Georgia.What ever happened to the B 52's?
So proud of this team! The site we play at will be a challenge, with UGA represented, but the sky's the limit, and not just for this season. Go Duke!
What is the date/time for the game, and what is the ticket availability?
If I decoded it right, there is a replay of the ACC softball championship game against Clemson on Monday at 4:00 PM Eastern time, ACC Network.
The game is listed as:

Here's a really good article from the Chronicle on our two star pitchers.
