  RECAP | BOX SCORE

CANCUN, Mexico (AP) -- Duke senior Georgia Schweitzer finished up her finals and headed down to Cancun for a little fun and sun -- and a lot of basketball.

Schweitzer led the Blue Devils with 20 points and eight rebounds Sunday night to give Duke (No. 5 ESPN/USA Today, No. 7 Associated Press) a 69-45 victory over Arkansas State at the Fun in the Sun Shootout.

"I feel a lot of stress is gone now after finals," Schweitzer said. "I play better when I am more relaxed."

Duke (10-1) dominated throughout the game, forcing 29 turnovers. Freshman Rometra Craig added 10 points for the Blue Devils.

"I was just really proud of the team. I thought they played well," said Duke coach Gail Goestenkors. "It's been a while since we have put together a full game."

Arkansas State (4-5) was led by Rae-Anne Smith with 10 points. Jolie McKeirnan had 10 rebounds for the Lady Indians.

Both teams struggled with their shooting. Duke was 24-for-58 from the field. Arkansas State was 13-for-53, and missed all 16 3-point attempts.

Alana Beard added seven points, and Rochelle Parent and Missy West had six apiece for Duke, which will face the winner of the Oral Roberts-Florida Atlantic matchup for the tournament title on Tuesday.

The game was played in Cancun's municipal gymnasium, which seats about 250.
