The Blue Devils are your 2024 regular-season ACC softball champions.
After a 44-6 regular season that included 20 wins over conference opponents, the Duke softball team officially clinched the ACC crown on Friday night.
Outside of a doubleheader sweep at the hands of Virginia on April 20, the Blue Devils only lost two ACC games all season. They swept Syracuse, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Clemson, and NC State.
Duke won its final five games of the season, culminating in that three-game sweep of the Wolfpack.
Florida State, whom Duke defeated in a series back in March, could have won the conference title with a sweep of Syracuse this weekend. However, the Orange walked off the Seminoles on Friday afternoon to drop them to 18-4 in ACC play, clinching Duke’s triumph.
