No. 1 Lady Blue Devils Hand No. 2 Tar Heels First Loss Of Season

Posted Feb 9, 2007

Duke was here before, carrying the No. 1 ranking onto its biggest rival's home court - only to have North Carolina snatch it away. Not this time. By twice turning back the Tar Heels' late comeback attempts, these determined Blue Devils wouldn't let it happen again. Abby Waner scored six of her 16 points during the decisive second-half spurt, and top-ranked Duke held off No. 2 North Carolina 64-53 on Thursday night. (Tar Heel Blue)
