Duke bounced back from the disappointing loss to Baylor in Paris with a dominant 91-48 win over Holy Cross.
Toby Fournier led the way with 27 points and 9 rebounds. Jordan Wood added 19 points and 9 boards of her own. Ashlon Jackson had 15.
Overall, duke shot 50% from the floor and hit12-23 on theres.
Holy Cross hit just 19-67 shots (67%) and 8-25 on threes (32%). You don’t always see that inversion and it’s not a good sign.
Coach Kara Lawson was impressed, saying this after the game: “Overall, I thought it was a pretty good, balanced performance for our group. We had four players in double figures and almost had four players in double-figure rebounds—we missed it there by one each. I thought that [Jordan] Wood was a great catalyst for us to start the game by knocking down those threes and just playing with great energy. And then Toby [Fournier] was just a dominant force on the interior, which is something we’ve come to expect, but it shouldn’t go unnoticed or untalked about. There’s a lot of good performances in there, but I thought those two players in particular got us off to a really good start.”
Duke is now 1-1 heading into Wednesday’s game against Norfolk State.
