The 49ers travel to Durham, NC today to take on a Duke Blue Devils team, hungry for a win after consecutive losses to Michigan State and the No. 1 Stanford Cardinal.
“[Duke has] a really savvy setting game and offensive instruction,” said Weatherington.
The Blue Devils boast a front-row headlined by 2018 ACC All-Freshman Team selection, 6’3 middle blocker Ade Oworkoniran that holds a slight height advantage over the 49ers front row.
“[We need] to be ready to play big; it’s ACC ball. It’s going to go fast,” said 49ers’ Head Coach Karen Weatherington.
The 49ers, however, have a C-USA All-Freshman Team selection on their roster, 6’1 middle blocker Tyra Galloway.
