Should have checked some facts before posting. Duke had a very good season last year - much better than MN. Jess will have a better chance of getting to the WCWS with Duke.
That seems a strange move. Krapf left Duke for MN. With the addition of UCLA, Oregon, and Washington, I would think the BIG would be a better conference than the ACC. But, she must have her reasons.
Nice Star Tribune article on Melani Shaffmaster. After all the recent transfers from the program, her loyalty is greatly appreciated!

The Cooks' younger son, Finley's skull formed to soon and wouldn't allow room for his brain to grow. He needed surgery to open the skull. Surgery went well and Finley is at home. The surgery had been scheduled earlier.
In addition, the 2 position coaches that recruited her have left coaching - Katie Richardson Strehlow and Carly Wynn. But, I'm still hoping it's not true.
