Led by ACC Coach of the Year Robbie Church, associate head coach Erwin van Bennekom and assistants Carla Overbeck and Lane Davis, the Blue Devil staff has orchestrated one of the greatest seasons in school history, highlighted by 13 broken school records and the program’s fourth NCAA College Cup appearance. Top-seeded Duke took down UNCG, Oklahoma State, No. 4 Texas and Baylor to advance to the Final Four for the second time in three seasons.
