Duke was in trouble against Penn State, but the Devils rallied behind Wynter Whitley. Whitley came off the bench and took the game over in the second half.

Whitley, who missed last year, was just happy to be playing again. "I feel good being back, just being with my teammates and my friends first of all," she said. "We're getting better each and every day, and it's fun to see us get better. It's a fun process, and hopefully we're going to keep building on it."

Mistie Williams had a game-high 20 points.
