DURHAM, N.C. – Duke Athletics celebrated its second annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) this past weekend. A youth clinic on Saturday, and lunch and a Power Panel highlighted the day Sunday in advance of the women's basketball game against NC State.

"This was a tremendous weekend at Duke and we are all so proud of our student-athletes, staff and coaches that contributed the successful celebration of National Girls & Women in Sports Day through these events," said Nina King, Duke's Senior Deputy Director of Athletics/Administration, Legal Affairs and Chief of Staff.
