If we can hold on--tiny early leads in match play are almost not leads at all, but every stroke helps--Duke looks like a lock to be our opponent.  Everyone should feel free to hate them; they are the Kentucky basketball of women's college sports.

They have one American on the team, if you think of Canada as America. The rest are from Ireland (two sisters), Indian, China, and South Korea.  (I'd be interested, honestly, to learn if the Korean woman speaks English well.  Aside from Grace Park, I don't recall meeting a South Korean pro golfer who understood more than a few pat English expression.  At LPGA meetings, the South Koreans other than Park all gathered in a back row around their interpreter, not even looking at the speakers.  (Which, as you also may have guessed, included me a couple times.)

Point being, I hope it's clear, that these Dukies are not one and gones, but hired guns.  (And it's a good bet that one or more of them won't stick around for the mortar board stuff.)

Okay, ahead of myself and perhaps destined to be accused of hexing our ladies, who are leading 1 up, 1 up, 1 up and two up with one all square.  But I wanted to pitch my fork into the Devils as soon as possible.
