Fournier, Roberson score 19 points each and No. 21 Duke women rout Pitt for
11th straight win
PITTSBURGH (AP) --- Toby Fournier scored 19 points, reserve Arianna Roberson
had 19 points in a double-double and No. 21 Duke overwhelmed Pittsburgh 95-41
on Saturday for the Blue Devils' 11th straight win.
Roberson, a freshman, was 9-of-15 shooting and matched her high of 12 rebounds
for her first double-double. Riley Nelson also posted her first double-double
with 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Delaney Thomas scored 16 points and Taina Mair added 12 for the Blue Devils
(14-6, 9-0 ACC), who share first place with No. 8 Louisville.
Mikayla Johnson led the Panthers (8-14, 1-7) with 15 points.
Duke scored the first seven points of the game and Pittsburgh's first made
basket came with 3:50 remaining in the first quarter. Duke led 9-4 at that
point then made 6 of 8 shots to finish the quarter. The Blue Devils led 22-8
after one.
Duke shot 68% in the second quarter and finished the half on a 19-4 run,
building a 51-16 halftime lead.
Duke led 66-20 midway through the third quarter before Pitt scored back-to-back
baskets for the first time. The Panthers scored 14 points in the third, their
first quarter with double-digit scoring. Duke led 76-30 at the end of three.
The lead peaked at 85-30 after the Blue Devils scored the first nine points of
the fourth quarter.
The 11 consecutive wins match Duke's longest under coach Kara Lawson, also
accomplished in the 2022-23 season.
The game was moved from Sunday to Saturday because of the severe winter storm
in the south and east.
