6,000 Vandy fans (plus those who tuned in to the free webcast) saw the #23 Commodores upset #11 Duke, 68-55. It's Duke's first 2-game losing streak since 2000 and the 'dores first win over the Blue Devils since 1982.

Abby Waner played in her second game since her high ankle sprain, but got in to foul trouble and shot poorly. High scorer was Jasmine Thomas (12pts on 3/11 shooting) and Chante Black was an efficient 5-9 with 10 rebound. As a team Duke shot 38% (26% from 3 and 63% from the line.). Of even greater concern to Duke is the hand injury to Wanisha Smith, which kept her from the game.

Vandy also shot 38%, but were a blistering 50% from behind the arc and went to the foul line almost three times as often as Duke. They also took better care of the ball (14 TOs to 24) and did a nice job with assists -- 13 of 19 baskets. Jessica Mooney had a career high 16 points and Christina Wirth added 15.

"I think it's a great confidence builder," said coach Balcomb post game. "On the floor at the end of the game, we had juniors, sophomores and freshman and that's it. That's encouraging for any coach to see that kind of winning experience happen on your home court against a top-10 ranked team. It's really important for the program. The only other win we felt as good about here was LSU last year on senior night. This ranks right beside it as far as quality wins at home."
