No. 28 Syracuse (14-6, 6-6 Atlantic Coast) had already taken down a top-five ACC team at home earlier this season when it beat then-No. 3 Georgia Tech. But No. 4 Duke (18-2, 10-1) did not fall victim to the same outcome on Friday, coming back from losing the doubles point to win, 4-2, at Drumlins Country Club.
