Lady Blue Devils Clinch Double Bye After Historic ACC Run

9th ranked Duke Blue Devils have been on a historic run to start conference play, starting the season 15-0 within conference after a dominant performance over in-state rival NC State Wolfpack Thursday night.

The Blue Devils were led by sophmore Toby Fournier who finished with 26 points, and 12 boards. Seniors Ashlon Jackson, and floor general Taina Mair help set the tone on both ends with the grit, leadership, and craftiness to generate momentum runs. The Wolfpack cut Duke's 20 point lead to as close as 8 points in the fourth quarter but late key adjustments helped the Blue Devils topple the Wolfpack 83-65.
