Achilles’ Heels; Blue Devils
winless vs. UNC for 2 years
BY DANIEL MALLOY
SENIOR WRITER
The Duke women’s basketball
team has compiled an incredible
run of success during the past two
seasons, posting a 56-7 record and
consistently hovering near the top
of the polls.
But during that span, the Blue
Devils are 0-5 against North
Carolina.
Time and again, the Tar Heels
have out-Duked the Devils, leav
ing the proud program searching
for answers again after Saturday’s
77-65 defeat in Carmichael
Auditorium.
“We didn’t play with a lot of
poise,” said Duke head coach
Gail Goestenkors, who had a
12-game winning streak against
North Carolina heading into last
season.
“We didn’t play our game. We
didn’t play Duke basketball.”
That much was clear from the
opening tip. Duke turned the ball
over on three of its first four posses
sions, and after one minute and 39
seconds North Carolina had built
a 6-0 lead, forcing Goestenkors to
call a timeout.
For the game, the Blue Devils
scored a season-low 65 points on
a woeful 34.3 percent from the
floor.
Some of Duke’s offensive trou
bles could be attributed to UNC’s
devastating traps, which forced
23 turnovers and kept the Blue
Devils out of sync. But Duke had
plenty of open looks at the basket,
as well.
Mbnique Currie, an All-
American in 2005, was most
emblematic of Duke’s struggles.
Despite putting up a career-high
43 points at Miami less than a
week earlier, Currie mustered only
13 Saturday on 5-of-18 shooting, all
but sinking her ACC Player of the
Year candidacy.
“I guess it is something about
Carolina,” she said.
“They caused us to go out there
and not play our game. They made
us rush. They made us make bad

and we know that they are going
to give it their all,” UNC forward
Erlana Larkins said.
“So we can’t be too confident.”
And despite the streak, North
Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell still
has plenty of respect for the Blue
Devils.
“I think this is their best team
ever,” Hatchell said. “As far as
talent and shooting and ball
handling, their size I don’t
think they have any weaknesses,
really.”
That is, except for some powder
