ANN ARBOR (AP) -- Chelsea Gray and Elizabeth Williams scored 19 points each to lead No. 4 Duke to a 71-54 victory over Michigan on Wednesday night in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.

Alexis Jones added nine points for the Blue Devils (5-0), who did not have at least three double-digit scorers for the first time this season.

Jenny Ryan tied a career high with 18 points and Kate Thompson added 10 for Michigan (5-2). Leading scorer Rachel Sheffer was held scoreless for the first 16 minutes and finished with eight points.

The Wolverines used a 15-1 run over the last 6:41 of the first half to pull within three points at the break, but Duke pulled away in the second half.

The Blue Devils took advantage of Michigan's 20 turnovers, scoring 26 points on the giveaways.
