Durham, NC (SportsNetwork. Jack Eichel Jersey .com) - Jahlil Okafor erupted for 25 points and 20 rebounds as No. 2 Duke stayed unbeaten with a 75-62 win over Elon on Monday. Okafor, considered by many as the nations top freshman, shot 10-for-14 and posted career highs in both categories. He recorded the first 20-20 game by a freshman in Duke history and became the first Blue Devil to accomplish the feat since Elton Brand in 1998. It felt great, said Okafor, who was celebrating his birthday. I felt like I was at home with my family. Amile Jefferson scored 13 points and Justise Winslow had 12 for Duke (9-0), which extended the nations longest home winning streak to 38 games. Luke Eddy paced Elon (5-5) with 16 points. After missing their first three shots, the Blue Devils made seven straight shots -- including four dunks -- to take a 15-2 lead. Okafor split a pair of free throws at the end of the first half, giving Duke its biggest lead at 36-21 heading into the locker rooms. The margin never dipped back into single digits in the second half, though Elon never felt out of the game. Dukes starters played until the final whistle, leading to a minor confrontation late in the contest. Tempers flared with 1 1/2 minutes remaining when Duke guard Rasheed Sulaimon committed a hard foul on Eddy. He received a technical in addition to a common foul during the scrum under the basket following the play. Okafor scored his 25th point on a gorgeous spin move just before that and subbed out just after to a rousing ovation from the fans at Cameron Indoor Stadium. My teammates were in my ear telling me to dominate, said Okafor. They wanted me to put up big numbers. That gave me a lot of confidence. Game Notes Duke started the season with nine straight wins by 10 or more points for the first time since 2002-03 ... Duke has won 114 straight non-conference home games ... The Blue Devils shot just 3-for-16 from behind the arc ... Elon has lost back-to-back games following a three-game win streak. Jack Eichel Sabres Jersey .

EDMONTON -- Cristie Kerr grabbed a share of the lead Friday at the Canadian Womens Open, duelling co-leader Inbee Park almost shot for shot while overcoming the errant slam of a porta-potty door. Kerr shot a four-under 66 for a second consecutive day, while Park carded a five-under 65, leaving both tied for top spot after two rounds at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club. Both were 8-under 132 in a day of golf under slightly overcast skies with gentle winds. Kerr, who won the Canadian Open in 2006, said its a challenging course. "Its a course where you have to really shape the ball off the tee and be creative," said the 35-year-old American. "I played very well the last couple of days. Its unfortunate I bogeyed the last hole today, but thats what happens when you hit an errant shot and have to chip out to a difficult pin." Making par on the par-4 final hole became a longshot for Kerr when she drilled her tee shot into the left rough. But a bad hole almost became disastrous when the swing on her approach shot was interrupted by the ka-thwam of a nearby spring-loaded portable toilet door. "I mean, (the noise) really scared me," she said. "I could have hooked (the ball) in the water." Kerr was in the same group as Park, the top-ranked player in the world. The 25-year-old South Korean has won six tournaments on the LPGA tour this year, including three majors. Earlier this month, the pressure was on when she had a chance at the Womens British Open to become the first golfer to win four majors in a tournament year. She said the nerves got to her a bit on the Old Course at St. Andrews, and she ended up tied for 42nd. Park said the time off since then has helped her game in Edmonton. "I worked on a couple of things after that because I wasnt hitting it my best at the British Open. Im obviously hitting it a lot better this week and putting a lot better," she said. "On the greens, I was really comfortable because theyre so pure wherever you hit it, its just going to go right there." Park followed up five birdies in the first round on Thursday with seven on Friday. Karine Icher of France logged a four-under 66 to finish tied with American Angela Stanford at one shot back heading into weekend play for the US$2-million purse. "Good putting made the difference today," said Icher, a 34-year-old seeking her first win on the tour. "The course is quite hard, (with) tricky fairways and big rough, so Im looking to get some good drives and putts on the weekend." Lydia Ko, the defending tournament champion, came into Friday tied for first, but finished the day with Laura Davies and Paula Creamer two shots off the pace. http://www.sabreshockeyshop.us/Alexander-Mogilny-Jersey/. Ko shot a lights out five-under 65 in the first round, but managed only a one-under 69 Friday. "Ive just got to play my own game and hopefully get some more putts rolling in," said the 16-year-old from New Zealand. Englands Charley Hull, one of the stars of last weekends European win over the Americans at the Solheim Cup, continued her stellar play. The 17-year-old from carded a four-under 66 to vault from 20th spot into a four-way tie with Americans Kathleen Ekey, Stacy Prammanasudh and South Koreas Hee Young Park, at three shots back. "I played pretty solid. I wasnt hitting that good today on the front nine with my tee shots because I felt a little tired out there," said Hull. "The back nine I got something going, holed a few putts and Im pretty pleased with that." Ekey had the best score of the day with a six-under 64, including an eagle on the par-four first hole. A few of the big names fell by the wayside on cut day. Stacy Lewis, No. 2 in the world rankings, saw her game blow up in the first round on Thursday. She finished four over par 74 with seven bogeys. Lewis, from Texas, said she was mentally tired and exhausted from the Solheim Cup loss, and withdrew prior to the start of the second round. High profile American Michelle Wie said illness played a part in her poor play. The 23-year-old from Honolulu was six-over 76 Friday for a two-day total of nine-over 149. She said she, too, was hurting from the quick Solheim turnaround. "Im completely under the weather. I was struggling today, just could not get out of bed. I just felt really sick today, though that is no excuse," said Wie. "Im going to take advantage of the two days Im not playing, and just not leave my bed and just kind of sleep for 40 hours straight." Jennifer Kirby, the top Canadian from the first day, couldnt keep the momentum going. Kirby, from Paris, Ont., began the day tied for sixth, but four bogeys and two double bogeys dropped her to a six-over 76, missing the cut. "Because I did play really well yesterday and there was a lot of people following our group and stuff like that, I just felt a little uneasy at the beginning," said Kirby. "I was a little bit nervous and then it was hard to shake after I made a couple of bogeys." "The top Canadian heading into weekend play will be Samantha Richdale of Kelowna B.C. She was even par both days to sit eight behind the leaders. Jessica Shepley of Oakville Ont., sits nine behind. The other 18 Canadians in the field, including Lorie Kane of Charlottetown, missed the cut. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
