Duke vs. Penn State Post Game Notes
December 2, 2007 ? University Park, Pa.
? In the Big Ten/ACC Women's Challenge, the ACC finished with an 8-3 advantage.
? The loss against unranked Penn State broke a streak of 76 straight wins against unranked foes.
? Junior Abby Waner scored a season-high 23 points as she hit a career-high tying 6-of-9 three-pointers. Waner had hit only five three-pointers in her three games played this season.
? Duke had one all five games in the series with Penn State until the loss tonight.
? Duke hit a season-high nine three-pointers and shot a season-high 50.7 percent from the field. The Blue Devils hit a season-best 58.3 percent from the field in the second half.
? For the second straight game, Duke allowed a season-best 30 free throws attempted. Penn State hit 28 of those attempts.
? Duke was outrebounded for the third game this season, 32-29.
? Chante Black scored 10 points in the first half and finished the contest with a career-high 21 for the game. She scored double-figures for the seventh straight game.
? Chante Black hit a career-high 10 field goals on a career-high 16 field goal attempts.
? In the second half, freshman Jasmine Thomas and sophomore Joy Cheek started.
? Duke trailed at the half, 41-30, for the third time this season.
? With her six three-pointers made, Abby Waner moved into seventh place on Duke's all-time three-pointers made list with 129.
? Freshman Jasmine Thomas registered 15 points in the second and went on to finish with a career-high 17 for the game. She hit a career-high 3-of-8 from three-point land for the contest.
? Freshman Karima Christmas came off the bench to score a career-high 10 points in 21 minutes.
? Senior Wanisha Smith missed the contest due to her injured hand in which she injured in the South Florida contest on Nov. 15. Freshman Krystal Thomas also missed the game with an injured knee she injured at Vanderbilt on Wednesday.
? Duke broke a string of seven straight different starting lineups to open the season on Sunday as Abby Waner, Emily Waner, Bridgette Mitchell, Chante Black and Carrem Gay started for the second straight contest.
? Duke lost its third straight game for the first time since the 1996-97 season.
? The Blue Devils are in the end of a five-game road trip...here are a couple of notes about the trip:
* Duke is playing only one home game in the month of November for the third time in school history (2002-03 and 1995-96). Prior to 1995-96, the season started around Thanksgiving so these years do not count.
* Duke has only one home game over the first eight contests, which is a new school record -- closest was two over the first eight games in 1979-80.
? Duke will return home for only its second home game this season on Thursday, Dec. 6 as the Blue Devils will host fifth-ranked Rutgers.
