1/11/2024 9:45:00 AM | Softball
DURHAM – Following a record-setting 2023 campaign, Duke softball earned the program's highest preseason ranking after being tabbed ninth in the Softball America Preseason Top 25 poll, the publication announced Thursday.
Duke is one of three ACC schools to be ranked in the top-10, joining Florida State (3) and Clemson (5), while Virginia Tech came in at No. 18 to round out conference schools in the top-25.
Duke returns 15 letterwinners from last year's team that compiled a program-best 48 wins and earned the right to host an NCAA Super Regional for the first time. The Blue Devils also welcomed four newcomers in freshmen Amiah Burgess and Linh Le, transfer sophomore Aleyah Terrell and graduate transfer Dani Drogemuller.
The Blue Devils open the season in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with four games in the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge. Duke will face reigning three-time national champion Oklahoma (Feb. 8), Iowa State (Feb. 9), Nebraska (Feb. 9) and Long Beach State (Feb. 10) during the event.
