A Greensboro jury awarded Heather Mercer 2 million dollars in punitive damages and 1 million in compensatory damages, ruling Duke University discriminated against her as a female place kicker. The panel found sex was the motivating factor and Duke failed to act after her complaints. Mercer, 24, graduates of 1998, plans a scholarship for female kickers and continues fencing while her football career ends.
