While ASU could never pull away, they held a 5 to 10 point lead the entire second half.

Freshman Jasmine Sanford scored nine points and grabbed seven rebounds. Shantae Robinson added eight points and six assists.

Arica Green was the only Golden Lion (4-17, 4-6 SWAC) in double figures with 10 points.
