1/24/2019 8:58:00 PM | Women's Basketball
Durham, N.C. – The Wake Forest women's basketball team (9-10, 0-6 ACC) dropped a road contest to the Duke Blue Devils (9-9, 1-5 ACC), 66-52, Thursday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke forward Leaonna Odom led all players with 20 points. Ivana Raca led Wake Forest with 14 points and six rebounds for her 14th double-digit scoring game of the season.
Deacons forward Ona Udoh scored 13 points with 4 rebounds, for her ninth double-digit scoring game this season. Gina Conti put up 11 points and six assists for the Deacs.
Duke connected on eight three-pointers in the game, including four from Jayda Adams (12 pts) and three from Miela Goodchild (11 pts).
The Blue Devils took advantage early of seven first quarter turnovers by the Deacs. With three three-pointers in the opening period, Duke used a late 5-0 run to maintain a 15-9 lead heading into the second. The Deacs found a sweet spot, emphasizing on their post-play (28 pts in paint). Ona Udoh opened with four straight points, but it did not go without response from the Blue Devils. Freshman Christina Morra chipped in with a jumper to make it three straight scoring possessions for Wake Forest. Gorecki earned the three-point play for Duke off the fast break and it quickly became a back-and-forth affair at Cameron Indoor. Raca responded with back-to-back buckets for the Deacs, but Odom (10 first-half points) and the Blue Devils held on to a 28-24 lead at the break.
Both teams came out firing in the second half. Raegyn Branch and Raca combined for five points, but Duke was able to match on the other end. The Deacs continued to attack the lane with Udoh cutting to the rim for easy lay-ins. Wake Forest responded to a 10-0 Duke run, scoring six straight to stay within 10 headed to start the fourth.
The Blue Devils continued their attack in the final period, scoring seven straight points out the gate. Duke shot 58.3 percent from the field in the second half and hung on for the victory.
Up Next, Wake Forest heads to Charlottesville, Va. to go toe-to-toe with the Virginia Cavaliers on Sunday, January 27. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m.
