DURHAM, N.C. - The Duke men’s soccer team announced its captains for the 2008 season today, with rising senior defenders Darrius Barnes and Graham Dugoni earning the honors. The Blue Devils will have six seniors, five juniors, five sophomores and at least six freshmen making up their team in the fall, as well as a new coaching staff led by Duke alum John Kerr.
Barnes, a native of Raleigh, N.C., has played in 58 games over three years with 51 starts. He has tallied nine assists from his position as an outside defender and is responsible for the Blue Devils long throw-in plays. Barnes logged the third-most minutes on the team in 2007 with 1,645. He has also taken 15 shots over three seasons.
Dugoni, who hails from Portland, Ore., has seen action in 49 matches and made starts in 42 of those. The defender has scored three career goals on nine shots and added one assist in aiding the offensive effort. Dugoni played the most minutes of any Blue Devil last year with 1,820.
The 2008 Blue Devils will return six of 11 starters from the 2007 squad that went 11-8-1, placed third in the ACC and reached the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight year. Their complete incoming freshmen class will be announced later this spring.
