Duke Starters (from post to point)
Elizabeth Williams | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 18 | 11 | 5-7 | 0-0 | 1-2 | 1 | 0-2-2 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 2nd | 7 | 3 | 1-2 | 0-0 | 1-3 | 1 | 1-2-3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | TOT | 25 | 14 | 6-9 | 0-0 | 2-5 | 2 | 1-4-5 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | | | | | Just another day at the office for the player who was
nominated to the Wooden Award's top 20 midseason list today. After getting
her shot blocked twice in the early moments of the game, she just came
back harder, posting up to give Duke the lead and then relentlessly
attacking the basket or alertly passing out of double-teams. Her five
blocks were significant, because they disrupted what were otherwise
good-looking shots for Clemson. After a while, the Tigers simply
stopped going inside when she was in the game, a testament to the
respect she gets from opposing players and coaches. |
Haley Peters | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 16 | 8 | 4-8 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 5 | 0-1-1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | 2nd | 7 | 4 | 2-4 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 1 | 0-2-2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | TOT | 23 | 12 | 6-12 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 6 | 0-3-3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | | | | | | This was another solid game for Haley, who hit a variety of
jump shots but also went to her signature reverse from underneath the
basket. It's a great move, one that shows she's becoming harder to
stop. Like the other starters, she's just as likely to initiate a
break as she is to finish it. She had a career-high 6 assists in this
game as she was able to find Liz Williams time and again. |
Richa Jackson | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 15 | 5 | 2-4 | 0-0 | 1-1 | 1 | 1-2-3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | | 2nd | 12 | 8 | 3-6 | 0-0 | 2-4 | 0 | 1-2-3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | | TOT | 27 | 13 | 5-10 | 0-0 | 3-5 | 1 | 2-4-6 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | | | | | | This was exactly the kind of aggressive game Duke needed from
Richa. She sliced up the defense, hit short and long jump shots, and
drove to the basket for a crucial three point play late in the first
half. She also grabbed rebounds and took care of the ball. Slowly
but surely, she's turning into the sort of player Duke needs her to
be: a first-option scorer who limits mistakes and turnovers. |
Tricia Liston | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 17 | 5 | 2-5 | 1-2 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | | 2nd | 11 | 11 | 4-5 | 2-3 | 1-2 | 0 | 0-2-2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | | TOT | 28 | 16 | 6-10 | 3-5 | 1-2 | 0 | 0-2-2 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 1 | | | | | | After a few quiet games on offense, Tricia needed this kind of
explosion. In addition to splashing in a trio of threes, she also
scored off the dribble and in transition. She only had a couple of
rebounds, but came up with a number of steals, including one where
literally ripped the ball out of the hands of a player who was trying
to elevate against her. As long as she's in the right place on
defense (and she got back late a few times on the perimeter), it's
fine for her to hunt her shot. |
Chelsea Gray | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 15 | 5 | 2-3 | 1-1 | 0-0 | 5 | 1-4-5 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | | 2nd | 9 | 2 | 1-2 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 4 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | TOT | 24 | 7 | 3-5 | 1-1 | 0-0 | 9 | 1-4-5 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | | | | | | Chelsea had a quietly effective game, doling out 9 assists while
taking just 5 shots. Clemson seemed to be shadowing her a bit, but
she had no problem handling that kind of pressure. She triggered a
number of transition baskets and got her shooters some great looks.
Once the game was out of reach, she was happy to take a step back and
let others score. |

Off the Duke Bench (in order of entry)
Shay Selby | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 10 | 2 | 1-3 | 0-1 | 0-0 | 1 | 0-2-2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 2nd | 11 | 3 | 1-5 | 1-2 | 0-1 | 1 | 2-1-3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | | TOT | 21 | 5 | 2-8 | 1-3 | 0-1 | 2 | 2-3-5 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | | | | | | The numbers are modest, but I thought Shay was excellent in this
contest, especially at the defensive end. She disrupted Clemson's
offense consistently, either by forcing steals or else getting their
guards to take shots they didn't really want. She twice dove into the
thick of the lane to retrieve offensive rebounds. She didn't turn the
ball over. This is exactly what one would want from a senior reserve;
it was especially good to see the energy that she played with. |
Allison Vernerey | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 6 | 4 | 2-2 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 1-0-1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | 2nd | 13 | 2 | 1-2 | 0-0 | 0-2 | 2 | 2-1-3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | TOT | 19 | 6 | 3-4 | 0-0 | 0-2 | 2 | 3-1-4 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | | | | | | Alli was solid in this game, especially at the defensive
end, where she was swatting shots and going after loose balls. She
had two key shots in the first half just when Duke was starting to get
a bit of separation. |
Kathleen Scheer | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 3 | 0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | 2nd | 13 | 4 | 2-5 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 1 | 3-2-5 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | | TOT | 16 | 4 | 2-5 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 1 | 3-2-5 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | | | | | | Leener struggled in the first half but was tremendous in the
second, as she dug out rebounds, grabbed steals, hit a couple of short
jumpers and played excellent post defense. Like the rest of the
bench, she needed some extended minutes to work out some kinks, and by
the end of the game she was looking much more fluid and confident. |
Ka'lia Johnson | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 0 | 0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 2nd | 13 | 4 | 1-2 | 1-1 | 1-2 | 0 | 1-3-4 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | | TOT | 13 | 4 | 1-2 | 1-1 | 1-2 | 0 | 1-3-4 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | | | | | | Ka'lia nailed a three from the wing, got to the foul line and
dug out 4 boards. It's been a while since she's played, so it was
good to see her get some burn with the rest of the more experienced
subs. |
Jenna Frush | | | MIN | PTS | FG | 3FG | FT | A | O-D-REB | BLK | STL | TO | PF | | 1st | 0 | 0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-0-0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 2nd | 4 | 0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-1-1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | TOT | 4 | 0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0-0 | 0 | 0-1-1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | | | | | Jenna grabbed a rebound and dribbled it out of trouble during
her brief stint. |
