DULUTH, Ga. (AP) -- Elizabeth Williams had 20 points and 11
rebounds, Richa Jackson added 17 points and No. 5 Duke won its
ninth straight game with a 79-62 victory over Georgia Tech on
Wednesday night.

The Blue Devils (15-2, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) have
beaten Georgia Tech 34 straight times and haven't lost to the
Yellow Jackets since Feb. 27, 1994.

Sasha Goodlett finished with 25 points for Georgia Tech (13-6,
3-3). The Yellow Jackets, who had a two-game winning streak
snapped, have lost three of five with all three defeats coming to
ranked ACC rivals Maryland, Miami and Duke.

Georgia Tech had a chance to cut the lead to three, but Tyuanna
Marshall's fast-break layup attempt rolled off the rim with 16:09
remaining.

Less than 6 minutes later, Duke led by 16 on Shay Selby's
three-point play.
