COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Danielle Adams needed only one game to endear herself to Texas A&M fans.

Adams scored 24 points in 22 minutes in her Texas A&M debut and the Aggies stunned No. 6 Duke, 95-77, yesterday.

The Aggies (1-0) took the lead near the midway point of the first half and didn't trail again. Despite poor shooting, the Blue Devils (1-1) cut the lead to three points with about 14 minutes remaining, but the Aggies scored 10 straight points to make it 65-52 and Duke didn't threaten again.

"The first five minutes of the second half were ugly," Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said. "They could have got right back in the ball game, but every time we would screw up, they would screw up going the other way. When we were playing our worst five minutes of the game they didn't take advantage of it."

The win improved Texas A&M's all-time record against the Blue Devils to 3-0. This was the first meeting between the schools since a 77-63 win by the Aggies in the round of 16 in the 2008 NCAA tournament.

Jasmine Thomas had a career-high 26 points for the Blue Devils.
