JMU's lone score comes from defense
The Dukes came into 2004 with a much-hailed, "new-look offense." In Saturday's game against West Virginia University, that new offense was a bit unusual as it took the form of redshirt senior defensive tackle Brandon Beach.

The Dukes opened conference play Saturday, sweeping in-state rival Virginia Commonwealth University 30-18, 30-27 and 30-26, at Sinclair Gymnasium in Godwin Hall. The Dukes' 17th straight victory over VCU was due to 13 kills turned in by sophomore middle blocker Ashley Copenhaver.
