DURHAM – Behind four double-figure scorers, the Duke women's basketball team opened ACC play with a 70-56 victory over Virginia Wednesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Junior Vanessa de Jesus led all scorers with 15 points off the bench, including a huge triple from the far right corner in the fourth quarter that halted the UVA rally and seized back momentum for the Blue Devils (11-1, 1-0 ACC).
Senior Celeste Taylor and junior Kennedy Brown both stuffed the stat sheet, as Taylor finished with 13 points, a team-high eight boards and four steals while Brown tallied 12 points, four assists and a career-high five blocks.
