12/18--Duke Crushes Utah Valley 95-61

After an extended break, the Devils came out and played significantly better than in the previous games. This may be a result of the opposition just being less competitive than Duke's previous opponents. It was still a promising result and there are a lot of good things that happened stat-wise.

Carrem Gay--20 (From the bench no less)
Abby Waner--19
Joy Cheek--15
Chante Black--15

Worrying Stat of the Day:
Coach P seems really miffed at giving up 20 rebounds to Utah Valley's center and being outrebounded overall so even if it doesn't look too worrying, I think that's something that should be improved upon.

Attendance
Cameron Indoor Stadium: 4,985
Lower than in previous games but considering it's the holidays, I'm not too surprised. I'll be even more surprised if they break this figure in Friday's game which is even closer to the holidays.

Next Game:
Friday December 21 versus Bucknell

2007-2008 Duke Blue Devils Women's Basketball 8-3

GO DUKE GO!
