Duke, North Carolina set for lacrosse clash

Posted May 17, 2009
Finally free of the baggage of the scandal that struck the Duke men's lacrosse program, the Blue Devils have other weighty issues to deal with this afternoon. That comes with an NCAA Tournament game against North Carolina. The rivals meet at Annapolis, Md. "The Duke / UNC rivalry is something that has been great, especially since I've been here," senior Ned Crotty said. "They're playing their best lacrosse now...You want to play the best teams."
