=== Duke women erupt in second half to rout Miami ===
 
 Durham,  NC (Sports Network) - Tricia Liston scored 17 points and helped spark
 a  huge  second-half run  that propelled No.  5 Duke to  an 82-43 victory over
 Miami-Florida in an ACC clash from Cameron Indoor Stadium.
 
 The  Blue Devils  (19-1, 9-0  ACC) trailed  33-31 two  minutes into  the final
 period  before  putting forth a  20-0 tear to break  the game open. Liston and
 Chelsea Gray each netted six points during the pivotal surge.
 
 Gray finished with 16 points and Elizabeth Williams had 12 -- 11 of which came
 after  halftime --  to help  Duke remain  unbeaten in  ACC play.  Alexis Jones
 tallied  a  double-double for the  Blue Devils,  accumulating 10 points and 10
 rebounds.
 
 Miami  (14-7,  5-5) recorded the contest's  first eight points and entered the
 break  tied  at 29-29,  but  fell  completely  apart after  intermission.  The
 Hurricanes  shot a woeful 16.7 percent (5-of-30) in being outscored by a 53-14
 margin  for the second  half, and 12 of their 22 turnovers came over the final
 18 minutes.
 
 Krystal  Saunders knocked  down  five shots  from 3-point  range  and led  the
 Hurricanes with 15 points, but all of them came prior to the half.
 
 Miami  never got closer than 16 points down following Duke's massive run, with
 the  Blue Devils going on a 20-3 spurt over the final 8 1/2 minutes to put the
 finishing touches on the rout.
