1/28/2016 9:00:00 PM | Women's Basketball
PITTSBURGH – The Duke women's basketball team won its fourth straight in ACC play Thursday evening, dispatching Pittsburgh by a 70-48 margin at the Petersen Events Center. The Blue Devils outscored the Panthers 15-6 in the second quarter to key the victory and move to 16-6 overall and 5-3 in conference action.
Sophomore Azurá Stevens and redshirt sophomore Rebecca Greenwell both scored over 20 points, with Stevens also registering nine rebounds. Junior Oderah Chidom chipped in 12 points and seven boards as Duke shot over 50 percent from the floor for the contest. The Blue Devils also held a 36-4 advantage in the paint while limiting Pitt to 10-of-30 on three-point shooting.
Stevens and Chidom paced Duke in a back-and-forth first quarter that put the Blue Devils ahead by one. The Panthers connected on six three-pointers by the midway point of the second frame, with Fred Potvin supplying three. That gave Pitt a 25-24 advantage before Stevens regained the lead for Duke with five straight points.
The Blue Devils rounded out the period on a 10-0 run to lead 34-26 at the break.
Stevens' 16 points at the half led all players while the Raleigh, N.C., native joined Chidom and Amber Henson in pulling down five rebounds each.
The Panthers continued to fire away from three-point range in the third quarter, with Brenna Wise hitting her third of the game less than a minute into the half. Stevens and Greenwell responded for Duke, keeping the margin in double figures. Chidom also contributed double-digit scoring as the Blue Devils expanded their advantage to 17 with four minutes remaining in the third.
The Blue Devils capitalized on their height inside, while Pitt added two more treys. However, Greenwell and Henson countered with three-pointers of their own to make it 58-37 heading into the final quarter.
Stevens and Greenwell both topped the 20-point mark in the final frame, with Stevens reaching 26 points and Greenwell 22 in the 22-point victory.
Wise rounded out the evening with 17 points, including four treys, and earned a double-double with 11 rebounds. Aysia Bugg and Potvin had nine points each for the Panthers (9-12, 1-7 ACC) in the loss.
Duke returns to Cameron Indoor Stadium Monday evening to host No. 3 Notre Dame at 6 p.m. on ESPN2.
