  "account": "FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Freshman Autumn Fleary scored 14 points and Toby Fournier had 10 in her first game of the season, as No. 4 Duke traveled to beat Florida Atlantic 78-56 on Sunday. The game, scheduled only about 48 hours prior to tip, took place after Duke's original matchup against North Texas was cancelled due to circumstances beyond the control of the participating institutions. Duke coaches were notified of the need for a replacement game and were willing to travel. FAU agreed to the scheduling, despite having just played Kennesaw State at home on Saturday and suffering a 68-28 loss. Duke took control of the game early, outscoring Florida Atlantic 17-4 over the opening seven minutes and building a 37-23 lead by halftime. Duke held double-digit leads throughout the second half, closing out the fourth quarter on an 11-3 run to establish a 23-point advantage at 67-44. Aaliyah Crump contributed 13 points for Duke, which finished the season with a 2-0 record, while Bella Flemings added 11 points for the Blue Devils. Jaelynn Housey scored 10 points for FAU (1-2), marking the first time the Owls have hosted a top-five team in program history. Erin Rodgers contributed 11 points for FAU.",
