Toby Fournier continued her stellar play. She scored 22 points here, along with 13 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 assists.
Ashlon Jackson added 15 points and Delaney Thomas and Riley Nelson each added 13 points.
With the win, Duke improves to 21-7 and 16-1 in the ACC. The Blue Devils can clinch their only and permanent first-place finish by defeating the visiting Tar Heels on Sunday.
Louisville fell to Duke at 15-2, and the Cardinals host Notre Dame on Sunday.
However, with Duke beating Louisville, the Blue Devils will earn the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament regardless of Sunday’s game.
