DURHAM, N.C. – Several preseason college basketball magazines have hit the newsstands with the Duke women's basketball program ranked in the top 12 nationally in all three. Head coach Joanne P. McCallie and the Blue Devils are preparing to host three exhibition contests over the next eight days prior to opening the regular season Sunday, Nov. 16.
In the Sporting News preseason poll, Duke was selected No. 11, while the Blue Devils earned a No. 12 listing in the Lindy's Magazine and Athlon Magazine ledgers.

Williams, who is from Virginia Beach, Va., is a three-time Associated Press All-America and three-time ACC Defensive Player of the Year.
Williams averaged 13.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.1 blocks, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals as a junior. The 6-3 forward/center needs 104 blocks to break the Duke and ACC career blocks record held by Alison Bales (434). She also is 24 blocks away from 25th on the NCAA career blocks list (331).
