DURHAM, N.C. -- Alana Beard made 11 of 13 shots in a 28-point performance in her final regular-season home game to lead Duke to victory over Clemson -- the worst defeat in Tigers history. Duke (23-3, 14-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) had five players in double figures in its sixth straight victory. The worst previous showing by Clemson (17-9, 7-8) was a 112-58 loss at Old Dominion on Nov. 30, 1979. Monique Currie added 13 points, Iciss Tillis 11, and Lindsey Harding and Brittany Hunter 10 apiece for Duke. Beard also had three steals and nine rebounds in 27 minutes of play. It was the last regular-season game in Cameron Indoor Stadium for Duke seniors Beard, Tillis and Vicki Krapohl, although the Blue Devils will host a set of NCAA first- and second-round games March 21-23. Beard and Harding had 10 points apiece as Duke rolled to a 48-20 halftime lead. Beard scored nine of Duke's first 11 points in the second half.
