DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Don’t call Duke the defending national lacrosse champions. A better description might be “reigning.”

Yes, Duke won last year’s national title but the Blue Devils have spent the season putting last year’s crown behind them.

Now they’re hoping for another deep run in the NCAA tournament after winning it all for the first time in 2010.

Defender Tom Montelli says coach John Danowski “has done a good job of pressing into our heads that it’s over and we all understand that’s over, and nobody cares about that anymore.”

That’s the same approach that Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski took after his program won the national title last year.
