Um - which sport they're even talking about?
I happen to know that the US College Cup is awarded in soccer, so the last paragraph of the article was a real help!

Winner! I had to go solely on the fact that I knew the Men's soccer tourney was going on.

No. I didn't notice that anyone was wearing shorts. All I saw was a Duke jersey. And should we really need to scrutinize the picture to guess the sport?Josh '99The picture of soccer players didn't tip you off?ugarte

The story was from CSTV's wire, and undoubtedly was written originally to run in a soccer-specific section, where it would've needed no further identifiers.
(All of which kind of sounds like "It was a botched joke," and I know you knew it already, I'm just saying.)
Carey Fox, the woman who composes the daily e-newsletter for Keith Olbermann's MSNBC show "Countdown," is often guilty of this. She compiles the most interesting news stories of the day, then provides a link and a short summary of each. Unfortunately, the summary she provides is usually the first paragraph of the story verbatim, so it includes things like "...quiet of this sleepy little rural town was shattered by violence," or "The state senate passed a new bill today outlawing the word 'sucks,'" which would make sense in the context of the headline or other information from the original publication, but which sound insipidly ill-written in the newsletter itself.
She's gotten better.

He. FWIW, Carey is a man. Of course there's no way you should know this outside of meeting him or being told.

Seeing they're Duke guys attired in what looks like underwear, it could be cross-country, or since they're happy and milling about, maybe it was a Duke spring sports off-campus event early in the season.
