Duke Set for NC State Sunday
DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke volleyball team (11-15, 4-9 ACC) welcomes NC State (9-15, 4-8 ACC) to Cameron Indoor Stadium for a 1 p.m., Sunday matchup on ACCNX.
DIGS FOR DOLLARS CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES
The Duke volleyball team, in partner with the Duke Cancer Institute's Teen and Young Adult Oncology Program, is excited to announce the Digs for Dollars campaign.
On November 7th and November 10th, the volleyball team is dedicating its games against North Carolina and NC State to raising awareness and support for the DCI program.
In February 2019, former Duke volleyball player Jessi Bartholomew ('19) was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma shortly after finishing her senior season. She recently completed six months of chemotherapy as well as two weeks of radiation and is currently in remission.
Throughout her treatment, the support from Duke Athletics and Duke Cancer Institute was overwhelming for Jessi, her family and friends. Digs for Dollars weekend is an awesome opportunity for you to show your support and raise awareness for other patients like Jessi who are going through tough times.
LAST TIME OUT
The Duke volleyball team dropped a hard-fought battle to Tobacco Road rival North Carolina, 3-1 (25-22, 24-26, 18-25, 20-25) Thursday evening in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke was led by senior Samantha Amos with 13 kills while rookie Gracie Johnson added 10. Defensively, junior Payton Schwantz and libero Mackenzie Cole racked up 20 and 19 digs, respectively, while freshman Lizzie Fleming and Lily Cooper added six blocks each to win the battle at the net 22-12 over the Tar Heels.
SCOUTING THE WOLFPACK
NC State enters the weekend 9-15 overall and 4-8 in conference play. Most recently, the Wolfpack defeated Clemson in 5 sets before they fell to Georgia Tech in five. Prior to Sunday's contest in Durham, NC State will take on Wake Forest in Winston-Salem.
Jade Parchment looks to continue her strength on the outside for the Wolfpack. Parchment has averaged 4.06 kills per set across the last four matches, including a .317 hitting percentage, 2.25 digs per set and 0.5 blocks per set. Last weekend, the sophomore came out strong with a 9-of-11 performance against Clemson for an .818 hitting percentage, the highest in an ACC match this season. Her solid performance continued as she put up a career-high 24 kills in Sunday's five-set match against Georgia Tech, which included 11 digs and four blocks.
BLOCKING WITH THE BLUE DEVILS
Blocktober might have come to an end, but the block party is still rockin'.
Duke is currently ranked fifth in the ACC with 234 blocks and a 2.46 block-per-set average and is led by sophomore Lily Cooper with 113. Cooper is fourth in the conference with 1.43 b/s and tallied a whopping 16 in Duke's three matches at the Hofstra Invitational. Freshman Lizzie Fleming is right on Cooper's heels in seventh with 95 (1.19 b/s). In Duke's setback at No. 2 Pitt, the Blue Devils registered 25 total blocks to Pitt's 11 and were led by Fleming with eight and Cooper with five while Cooper and Fleming added six blocks each Friday against North Carolina.
ROOKIES MAKING AN IMPACT
The Duke freshmen have made an immediate impact on the program. Outside hitter Lizzie Fleming has been outstanding at the net with a .325 hitting percentage. She has knocked down 137 kills and just 26 errors and has also picked up 95 blocks for a 1.14 block/set average.

Despite missing five games towards the beginning of the season, Owokoniran has hit double-digit kills in 11 out of 21 contests, including three 20+ kill games: 20 vs. Michigan State, 22 at Syracuse and 24 at Clemson. The Raleigh, N.C., native amassed 40 kills in three games to help spark Duke's 2-1 weekend at the Hofstra Invitational in September.
