DURHAM, N.C. ? DNA testing failed to connect any members of the Duke University lacrosse team to the alleged rape of a stripper, attorneys for the athletes said Monday.

Citing DNA test results delivered by the state crime lab to police and prosecutors a few hours earlier, the attorneys said the test results proved their clients did not sexually assault and beat a stripper hired to perform at a March 13 team party.

No charges have been filed.

“There is no DNA evidence that shows she was touched by any of these boys,” said attorney Joe Cheshire, who represents one of the team’s captains.

The alleged victim, a 27-year-old student at a nearby college, told police she and another woman were hired to dance at the party. The woman told police that three men at the party dragged her into a bathroom, choked her, raped her and sodomized her.

The allegations have led to the resignation of coach Mike Pressler, the cancellation of the lacrosse season and the suspension of one player from school.

The case also led to days of protests on and off the Duke campus, and some of the players have moved for safety reasons.

According to court documents, only lacrosse team members were at the party. Authorities ordered 46 of the 47 players on Duke’s lacrosse team to submit DNA samples to investigators, who compared them with evidence collected from the woman.

Because the woman said her attackers were white, the team’s sole black player was not tested. It was not known whether investigators tested for DNA other than the players’.

Cheshire said the report indicated authorities took DNA samples from all over the alleged victim’s body, including under her fingernails, and from her possessions, such as her cell phone and her clothes.

“They swabbed about every place they could possibly swab from her, in which there could be any DNA,” he said.

District Attorney Mike Nifong has said he would have other evidence to make his case should the DNA analysis prove inconclusive or fail to match a member of the team.

Stan Goldman, who teaches criminal law, evidence and criminal procedure at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said the DNA results didn’t mean that Nifong couldn’t go forward with the case – but the test results made a successful prosecution much harder.

Oklahoma finds new coach

Norman, Okla. – Oklahoma will name Virginia Commonwealth coach Jeff Capel its next men’s basketball coach, multiple sources told ESPN.com’s Andy Katz on Monday night.

A news conference is expected either late today or Wednesday, Katz said. Capel was scheduled to meet with his team this morning to tell them he has accepted the Sooners job.

Capel was the stealth candidate Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione had been working the past 10 days. Earlier Monday, Wichita State’s Mark Turgeon and Miami’s Frank Haith both made it clear they were staying at their respective schools. Regardless, Capel was a target of Castiglione’s since Kelvin Sampson announced he was leaving for Indiana two weeks ago.
