CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Elizabeth Balogun scored 12 points, Taya Corosdale had 10 and No. 9 Duke survived a stern test from Virginia, 56-52, on Sunday. The Blue Devils (22-4, 13-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) led only 47-45 with just over eight minutes left, but Celeste Taylor hit a 3-pointer from right in front of the Duke bench to make it a five-point game, starting a 7-2 run that gave them some breathing room and they held on.
A look down Amaka Agugua-Hamilton s bench would only show three players ready to check in during Sunday s game against No. 22 NC State, but for Virginia it was plenty.
