BOX SCORE
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Georgia Schweitzer and Krista Gingrich each scored 21 points to lead Duke (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 14 AP) in an 83-51 victory over Georgia Tech on Friday. Schweitzer scored 15 points in a 27-4 run early in the second half that turned a four-point game into a blowout. Georgia Tech went more than nine minutes without a field goal, while the Blue Devils hit 10 of 19 shots and opened up a 62-35 lead. The loss was the most lopsided of the season for Georgia Tech, which had it second worst shooting night, 17 for 56, better only than its 17-for-63 performance in a 64-45 home loss to Duke. Gingrich scored 10 points in the final eight minutes to help ice Duke's 13th straight victory over the Yellow Jackets. Lauren Rice added 11 points as Duke (19-4, 8-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped a two-game losing streak and won for the first time since losing Peppi Browne to a season-ending knee injury. Danielle Donehew scored 15 points to lead Georgia Tech (12-10, 5-7 ACC), which lost for the third time in four games. Gingrich opened and closed the first half with 3-point baskets, pacing Duke to a 33-26 halftime lead with her first eight points. Rice scored seven points in a 10-2 run that Duke used to seize control in the first half. Her 3-pointer from the right wing gave Duke a 24-13 lead with 5:29 left in the half. Donehew hit two 3-pointers late in the first half to help Georgia Tech whittle Duke's margin to six. Duke committed a season-low 10 turnovers and forced 22 turnovers. | ALSO SEE Womens College Basketball Scoreboard
