Okananwa’s Double-Double Not Enough in Loss to Wolfpack

GREENSBORO, N.C.—Duke held 10th-ranked NC State 20 points under its season scoring average and forced 15 turnovers, but the Blue Devils couldn't generate enough offense in a 54-51 setback to the Wolfpack in the quarterfinals of the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum Friday night.

Freshman Oluchi Okananwa led Duke with 12 points and 11 rebounds in a game that featured eight lead changes and 10 ties. Despite forcing 14 turnovers, the Blue Devils managed just two points on the giveaways as they finished the night shooting 31 percent from the floor.
