DURHAM, N.C. – Boston College volleyball's defense dominated, but it was not enough to overcome Duke on Sunday afternoon.

Offensively, junior McKenna Goss and senior Sol Calvete added eight kills apiece. Sophomore Jane DeJarld and freshman Madison McKnight recorded 13 digs apiece.
The Blue Devils were paced by Cadie Bates, who registered 14 kills, a .400 hitting average and 16.5 points.
