Duke Blue Devils at Boston College Eagles

90 - 53
Chelsea Gray leads No. 3 Duke in rout of Boston College
"I'm not surprised," Duke coach Joanne McCallie said after Gray had 18 points with 11 rebounds and 10 assists to lead No. 3 Duke to a 90-53 victory over Boston College on Sunday. "She'll be getting a lot more of those, I'm sure."
"It feels good. It's exciting to hear that," Gray said. "When it went in, I went back and tried to hide a little smile."
Tricia Liston had 17 points, scoring 12 during a 20-0 run that put the game away, and Jackson scored 16 for the Blue Devils (13-0, 3-0 ACC), who remain the only unbeaten team in Division I. Top-ranked Connecticut lost to No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday, and No. 2 Baylor entered Sunday's game against Oklahoma State with an 11-1 record.
This one wasn't that close.
Duke made its first six 3-point attempts and tied a school record by making 79.3 percent of its shots in the first half to open a 55-20 lead. BC scored the first eight points of the second half, but never got within two dozen points.
"We didn't back down. We went right at them, and suddenly Duke realized, 'Hey, we've got a basketball game on our hands,'" BC coach Erik Johnson said. "Unfortunately, Duke's so good, and played so well in that first half that the game wasn't really in question by the time we got it rolling."
Trailing by 35 at the half, Doherty hit a 3-pointer to open the second and Nicole Boudreau drove to the basket for a layup, prompting McCallie to call a timeout. Boudreau made a free throw, then Tessah Holt made a pair as the Eagles continued to force turnovers.
"I was just very mad," McCallie said. "I don't think it put a scare, two turnovers in a row is just very silly."
BC had several more chances to cut the deficit further but couldn't make its shots. Gray scored on a foul line jumper with 16:25 left to end the Blue Devils' scoring drought.
