The Blue Devils limited the Wolfpack to 31 percent (18-of-58) shooting from the field, including just 8-of-34 after the break, to remain undefeated. Duke, which shot 43 percent (26-of-60), held just a 34-28 edge after the first half.
Gillian Goring collected 15 points and 10 rebounds for NC State (13-6, 2-2) but made just 6-of-18 shots.
