DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Jasmine Thomas scored 15 points and hit four
clutch free throws in the closing seconds to help No. 4 Duke beat
No. 12 Maryland 68-65 on Monday night for its 12th straight
victory.
      Joy Cheek had 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Chante Black added
13 points and 14 rebounds against a team that always seems to
frustrate her for the Blue Devils (14-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast
Conference).
      Marissa Coleman scored 14 points for Maryland (13-3, 1-1), which
erased a 13-point deficit and used a 14-4 run fueled by 3-pointers
to take its only lead of the second half.
