Clutch Free Throws By Thomas Preserve Duke Win Over Maryland, 68-65
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 ACC).

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.

The Terrapins trailed 64-62 in the final minute and milked the clock, but Kristi Toliver's 3-pointer with about 10 seconds left circled the rim and popped out. Thomas hit two free throws with 7.7 seconds left to put Duke up 66-62, before Toliver pulled Maryland within one by hitting a 3 with 2 seconds remaining.

Alex Montgomery and Jacqua Williams each scored 18 points as the No. 24/22 Georgia Tech women's basketball team earned a 68-50 win over Miami (10-7, 0-3 ACC) Monday night at the BankUnited Center.

Montgomery registered her fourth career double-double and third of the season after grabbing 11 rebounds to go with her 18 points. Williams went a career-best 11-of-14 from the free-throw line, including nine-of-10 in the second half, to go with six assists and four steals.

"Jacqua once against stepped up big for us," head coach MaChelle Joseph said. "She knocked down some important free-throws down the stretch. Alex had a huge second half for us. Her two three-pointers early in the second gave us some momentum. Big-time players step up and hit big-time shots."

The Yellow Jackets (13-3, 1-1), who had trailed only two times this season at the half, entered the locker room down 31-27. Tech outrebounded the Hurricanes 16-11 but turned the ball over an unusual 15 times
