After seeing a 14-point halftime lead melt away, N.C. State’s defense allowed it to pull off another upset on Sunday.
The Wolfpack held Duke scoreless over the final two minutes, with Blue Devils guard Lexie Brown missing a contested 3-pointer with five seconds left, as No. 23 N.C. State held on to beat No. 12 Duke 55-52 in ACC women’s basketball Sunday at Reynolds Coliseum.
The Wolfpack (14-5, 4-2 in ACC) beat their third ranked opponent in league play, having already toppled No. 6 Notre Dame and No. 7 Florida State.
No. 12 Duke (15-3, 3-2 in ACC) shot just 37 percent against the Wolfpack as the Blue Devils lost for the second time in three games.
