It took just 49 seconds into extra time for N.C. State to score the game winner in a 1-0 women's soccer victory at High Point on Thursday.

Kristina Argiroff did what she does best, getting her head on a corner kick from Shelli Spamer to improve N.C. State to 6-1, the best start under third-year coach Steve Springthorpe.

Senior Kim Kern made three saves to notch her fourth shutout of 2011 and increased her career total to 14, the fifth most in program history.

The Wolfpack returns home to play North Florida on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Wake Forest: The men's soccer team will host Clemson in its ACC opener today at Spry Stadium at 7 p.m.

The Wake Forest volleyball team will travel to Bowling Green, Ky., to take part in the Western Kentucky tournament today and Saturday.

Duke: After a win against N.C. Central in last week's season opener, the men's cross country team will return to action Saturday at the James Madison Invitational.

No. 19 San Diego used 10 blocks to hand No. 21 Duke its first loss in Cameron Indoor Stadium in nearly one year with a 3-1 (25-22, 25-12, 17-25, 25-16) defeat.

The loss ends a 15-match home win streak for the Blue Devils (4-3), who are 133-23 on Coach K Court since the 2000 season. Duke's last loss in Cameron Indoor Stadium came on Sept. 11, 2010, to No. 12 Minnesota.
