GREENSBORO, N.C. — Kara Lawson has guided No. 11 Duke back to the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Blue Devils beat No. 7 N.C. State in Sunday's ACC Tournament final to earn their first title since 2013. That marked the first in Lawson's five-year tenure. Lawson is a former Tennessee player under Pat Summitt, who went on to a lengthy WNBA career that included a championship. Lawson also worked in broadcasting before becoming an assistant coach with the NBA's Boston Celtics. Duke hired her in 2020 as a first-time college head coach.
