DURHAM, N.C. — It’s on to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Sweet 16 for Peabody’s Oluchi Okananwa and her second-seeded Duke University Blue Devils, who pulled off a come-from-behind 59-53 victory over the 10th-seeded Oregon Ducks Sunday at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The sophomore finished with six points, three rebounds, one assist, and a steal. The Blue Devils opened the tournament with an 86-25 win over No. 15 Lehigh. Okananwa led Duke with 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting, seven rebounds, three steals, and two assists.

The Blue Devils move on to the Birmingham 2 Region semifinals, where they will play the University of North Carolina at 2:30 p.m. Friday.
