DURHAM, N.C. – Duke sophomore Toby Fournier and senior Ashlon Jackson both collected double-doubles in the Blue Devils' dominant 93-46 victory over Georgia Tech in ACC women's basketball action Sunday evening at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Fournier ended her night with 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Jackson notched her first career double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Along with the double-doubles, senior Riley Nelson finished the night leading all scorers and posting a career-high 23 points. Junior Delaney Thomas knocked down 12 points and redshirt freshman Arianna Roberson rounded out the double-digit outings for the Blue Devils with 11 points.

The Blue Devils' defense held the Yellow Jackets (8-11, 3-4 ACC) to their season-low 46 points and to a 27.5 shooting percentage. They entered the contest averaging 67 points and shooting 41 percent on the year. Duke (13-6, 8-0 ACC) grabbed eight steals, led by Thomas with four, and forced Georgia Tech into 15 turnovers.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Georgia Tech took advantage of a couple of early miscues by Duke to jump out to a 4-0 lead. The Blue Devils answered with a 12-0 spurt to force Georgia Tech into a timeout. Jackson keyed the run eight straight points, including a pair of threes that gave her 200 for her career.
Duke kept the Jackets off the board for 3:42 en route to building the eight-point lead. The Blue Devils continued to fire on all cylinders, with Fournier scoring nine straight points to finish the quarter on a 9-0 run for a 21-6 lead after 10 minutes.
Nelson got in on the scoring action, putting together a 9-2 run by herself to start the second frame. She drained a pair of three-pointers and knocked down three free throws for nine points in a span of 68 seconds to put Duke up, 30-10.
The Blue Devils cooled down over the next few minutes before Nelson got Duke back on track with two more mid-range jumpers to extend the lead to 24, 36-12. Jackson tacked on a three with four seconds left, sending Duke into halftime up, 39-14.
Shots continued to fall for Duke with Nelson and Jackson combining for a trio of buckets from distance and senior Tiana Mair adding a fastbreak layup for an 11-2 run to start the third quarter.
Leading, 50-17, at the midway point of the third stanza, the Blue Devils didn't slow down on either end, pushing the score to 62-23 after 30 minutes of play.
The Blue Devils kept their foot off the gas, opening the final stanza on a 14-6 run, led by junior Jordan Wood's seven points.
Georgia Tech responded, making a layup, a jumper and a three-pointer to cut Duke's lead, 76-36, but five points from Roberson snapped the Yellow Jacket's momentum and spurred a 13-3 run from Duke to make it 89-39 with under three minutes to play.
The Yellow Jackets hit a three in the final possession, leaving the final score at 93-46 in favor of the Blue Devils.
