The Blue Devils remain in Florida the following week, traveling to Gainesville, Feb. 14-16 to compete in the Bubly Invitational alongside host Florida, Boston College, Binghamton and Providence.
Continuing action on the road, Duke travels to East Carolina for a doubleheader against the Pirates Feb. 19.

Duke will face Nebraska (Feb. 21), Howard (Feb. 21), BYU (Feb. 22), Minnesota (Feb. 22) and UCLA (Feb.23) during the invitational.
Closing the month of February, the Blue Devils host Michigan in the home opener on Thursday, Feb. 27, before welcoming South Carolina for a three-game weekend series Feb. 28-Mar. 2. Duke closes out the five-game homestand with a non-conference matchup against Elon on Mar. 4.
Duke then opens a challenging ACC schedule on the road with a weekend series at Clemson Mar. 7-9. The road swing continues with a midweek battle at Tennessee Mar. 11.
Closing the week, the Blue Devils welcome Syracuse to Duke Softball Stadium Mar. 14-16. Duke stays home the following week, taking on Liberty (Mar. 18) in a non-conference doubleheader and a three-game series with ACC foe Florida State (Mar. 21-23).
