Two words: Shocking and Painful
We got down early and then clawed our way back in before eventually losing in the final seconds. I thought we'd be able to gut it out somehow but eventually the comeback took too much out of the team and enabled Penn State to get the surprise win.
Duke has now lost three in a row. I can't remember the year exactly but Duke hasn't lost three games in a row since sometime in 1997 or during that season.
Plus Side: Well, the offense seems better with 84 points scored
Negative Side: We gave up 86 points???
Top 5 Scorers:
Abby Waner--23 (and everyone can breathe easy again. Abby looked much better in this game, which hopefully means she's recovered sufficiently from that doggone ankle injury. She was also big down the stretch for Duke as they were trying to make a comeback. The team definitely needs Abby to be at All-American level this year.)
Chante Black--21 (Consistently our best player. She's been terrific all year)
Jasmine Thomas--17
Karima Christmas--10
Carrem Gay--5

Worrying Stat of the Day:
Stat wise, this game was not a bad game. In fact, the worst thing about this game was that they scored two more points than us. So I'll say 86 points given up.
