First home match since March 3 for the Tigers when we beat GT. Since then we are coming off two pretty poor losses to Cornell and Penn.
Duke is ranked #44 (mainly because they beat an over ranked Penn) but they are having a poor season for their standards. They were a top 10 program a few years ago but have fallen off recently. They were beaten 5-2 at Virginia Tech on Wednesday. They are 6-8 overall and 0-4 in the ACC
Projected Duke singles lineup:
1. #41 Nick Stachowiak, Jr. Cary, NC 2. #114 Spencer Furman, Jr. Seattle, WA 3. Catalin Mataes, Sr. Braintree, MA 4. Sean Sculley, So. Hilton Head, SC 5. Robert Levine, Jr. Bedford, NY 6. Vincent Lin, Sr. Schaumburg, IL
Analysis: As far as the matchup with Clemson today I really don't know what to expect. Duke just got blown away at 1-3 singles vs a not very good Virginia Tech team. Both Clemson and Duke are in a rut. Duke is probably the favorite at court 1 but every other court could go either way. This match looks like it will be able to be held outdoors, which will be the 1st outdoor home match of the year for Clemson.
