Duke's women's basketball team makes history in absurd blowout

Duke's women's basketball team enjoyed a historic victory Thursday night, taking down Norfolk State in an absurd score line, winning 85-23. Norfolk State's 23 points are the lowest Duke has allowed to any opponent in the history of their women's basketball program. Norfolk State scored fewer than 10 points in every quarter and five points or fewer in two quarters. Duke's biggest quarter was the first, outscoring their opponents 28-5. Junior forward Toby Fournier finished with a game-high 20 points, adding five rebounds, one assist and one block on 9-for-13 shooting. Aaliyah Crump and Riley Nelson were the other players to finish in double figures, as they combined for 25 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists. Duke forced 19 turnovers and held Norfolk State to 7-for-43 shooting from the field (16%). Now 3-0 to begin the year, the No. 5-ranked Blue Devils will face Marshall Sunday, who is also undefeated, having started the season 4-0.
