DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Rebecca Greenwell scored seven of her 29 points in the final 5 1/2 minutes, leading Duke past No. 3 South Carolina 74-63 on Sunday.

Oderah Chidom added 15 points to help the Blue Devils (9-1) earn their first victory over a top-three opponent since they knocked off No. 3 Ohio State in 2009. Duke shot 50 percent and forced the Gamecocks (6-1) into a season-worst 19 turnovers.

A'ja Wilson scored 18 points and Kaela Davis added 14 for South Carolina, which pulled to 66-60 on Bianca Cuevas-Moore's 3-pointer with 1:41 left and immediately called timeout.

But the Gamecocks came out of that break and put six players on the court, earning them a technical foul. Greenwell hit two free throws with 1:40 remaining, and after Duke forced a stop, Kyra Lambert added two foul shots to push the Blue Devils' lead to 70-60 with 1:05 remaining.
