The Duke women's basketball knocked off 14th-ranked Florida State, 66-64, in Cameron in a key ACC victory. Graduate Haley Gorecki led all scorers with 21 points, and Leaonna Odom was close behind with 18. Jade Williams also put up 10 of her own for her fourth straight game with 10 or more points.
Sunday's contest was a tight battle up until the final seconds. The game was tied at 64 with 9.8 seconds on the clock. After Duke called a timeout to advance the ball, Gorecki was fouled and drained both free throws to seal the victory.
