Column by Patrick Hite patrick@accnation.com Duke is one of four teams left standing as the men?s lacrosse semifinals are set for this weekend.

ACC baseball power poll ? April 28
2008-04-28 16:30:00
Virginia took the largest drop this week and, if I could have justified it, I would have dropped them farther.
