Jeremy Roach (likely) finishes Duke career 32nd on the all-time points list

All signs seem to be pointing to Jeremy Roach ending his Duke career with 1,469 points, the third-most of any Blue Devil who debuted after 2010.

Jeremy Roach has likely played his final game in a Blue Devils uniform, meaning his storied four-year career will conclude with 1,469 career points.

That’s enough for the senior captain to finish 32nd on the all-time scoring list in program history, one spot behind legendary forward Carlos Boozer.

Roach averaged 11.3 points per game across his career, including a career-high 14.0 as a senior. The last player left who started for legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski, he made the Elite Eight twice, including the 2022 run to the Final Four.

His 1,469 points are the third-most of any Duke player who started his career after 2010. Quinn Cook (2012-15) finished with 1,571 points, and Grayson Allen (2015-18) finished with 1,996.

The fourth-year guard passed names like Seth Curry, Mason Plumlee, Mike Dunleavy, Amile Jefferson, and Jay Bilas on the career scoring list this season.

Roach could theoretically take an additional year next season since he hasn’t yet used his COVID extension year from 2020, but considering he was honored at senior night, all signs point to this having been his final run as a Blue Devil.

Ana Gold reaches 100 career RBIs in first-inning grand slam on Wednesday

The Blue Devils hit two grand slams in an 11-run first inning on Wednesday night, and junior Ana Gold reached a career milestone with hers.

The Duke softball team came out ready on Wednesday against North Dakota State, and junior slugger Ana Gold reached a career milestone immediately.

The junior infielder hit a grand slam in the opening inning against the Bison, part of an 11-run opening inning for the Blue Devils, and the blast got her to 100 career RBIs.

Gold led the Blue Devils with 19 home runs and 56 RBIs in the 2023 season, setting a program record with the former mark and tying a program record with the latter.

She was named to the First-Team All-ACC team last season, and she was one of four Blue Devils named to the D1Softball’s top 100 players ahead of this season.

Through Duke’s first four games of the season, Gold’s batting average sat at just .200 but her on-base percentage was .429 and she had batted in four runs.

Teammate Kelly Torres hit a grand slam of her own during Duke’s dominant first inning.
