DURHAM, N.C. (AP) – Vicki Krapohl scored 18 points to help No. 2 Duke beat Georgia Tech for the 23rd straight time, 81-41 on Saturday.
Monique Currie tied the Duke school record for assists with 12 after getting 11 by halftime.
Alana Beard scored 15 points, Brittany Hunter had 14 and Jessica Foley added 11 for the Blue Devils (18-3, 9-1 ACC), who rebounded from an 80-74 loss to Florida State on Wednesday.
Krapohl, a senior, led Duke in scoring for the first time in the 113 games she has played. She scored 15 first-half points, and Duke led 49-16 at halftime.
Fallon Stokes scored 15 to lead Georgia Tech (11-11, 2-8), which lost its third straight overall.
Coming off its first loss to an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent since 2001, Duke jumped out to a 23-3 lead and never let the Yellow Jackets closer than 18 points after that.
Duke played its second straight game without all-ACC forward Iciss Tillis, who sustained a concussion Monday in a 78-60 win at Clemson and missed the loss to the Seminoles.
The Blue Devils forced 19 turnovers in the first half and pulled away steadily after the break. They led by as many as 48.
Georgia Tech made a season-low 14 field goals on 47 attempts (29.8 percent). The Yellow Jackets shot worse only once this season, hitting 29 percent against Davidson.
