Duke wins women's ACC tournament championship:

Duke women's basketball has completed its revenge tour.

The No. 11-ranked Blue Devils answered each of its four ACC losses in the final month of the season, culminating in Sunday's 76-62 win over No. 8 NC State in the 2025 women's ACC basketball tournament championship game at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.

It's Duke's first ACC tournament championship since 2013, and the ninth in program history. It's also the first for the program under fifth-year coach Kara Lawson.

Oluchi Okananwa and Ashlon Jackson each scored 22 points for the Blue Devils, who trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half but outscored NC State 47-26 in the second. Despite coming off the bench, Okananwa scored a career-high 22 points and added 10 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the season.
