THE flawless run of Duke University Women's Basketball team continues, improving its record to 7-0 after victory over No. 9 Iowa on Friday morning, Philippine time.

The Blue Devils handed the Hawkeyes their first loss of the conference, 79-64, in the Big Ten-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) challenge of the US Women's NCAA, at the Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Filipino-American guard Vanessa de Jesus suited up as Duke's starting guard and locked in a season-high seven points, two rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block.

It is only the second time the two teams met in school history. Their first brawl was in 2008, with Duke also winning by a blowout, 71-47.

The recent victory drops Iowa's record to 4-1.

De Jesus averages 5.9 markers, 3.8 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in seven games of Duke's unscathed run.

The Blue Devils will next face University of Pennsylvania on Monday, where another Fil-Am Gilas prospect, Kayla Padilla, is suiting up.
