CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The Blue Devils outscored Miami 15-8 in the final five minutes but couldn't complete the comeback in a 64-58 loss to the Hurricanes in ACC women's basketball action Sunday afternoon.
Freshman Oluchi Okananwa led Duke (13-7, 5-4) with 13 points while classmate Jadyn Donovan had a good all-around performance with 10 points, four rebounds and six assists. Miami (13-6, 2-5) held the Blue Devils to just 23 points in the first half and held off the late charge from the visiting squad.
Duke outscored Miami in the paint, 28-14, and outrebounded the Hurricanes, 36-31, but Miami's 42-percent shooting from distance proved to be the difference.
