UNC, Duke go a long way for a tourney match

Posted May 18, 2006

The winner will be happy they made the 2,381-mile trek to Palo Alto, Calif. The loser may find the voyage a bit more of a nuisance. Duke and North Carolina's women's tennis teams have traveled to the West Coast for the NCAA Tournament only to find each other. The neighbors will face off tonight at 9 p.m. in the round of 16 on Stanford's campus with the winner advancing to face either Stanford or TCU in the quarterfinals. (Durham Herald-Sun)
