Danielle Orsillo had what I think is her best game, back from her ACL of last year, with 10 points on 3 of 4 from three. ASU made 14 of 23 three’s, but Davis out rebounded the Sun Devils by 5 and blocked 5 shots. Haylee Donaghe made both her 3’s, and scored 9 points. She also had 4 assists and 4 turnovers for Davis. Haylee is Hannah’s sister. ASU’s 14 three’s broke their school record of 10 set 3 seasons ago at….Stanford.

Lost to Utah Valley State, a huge disappointment, 66-64. USC shot 35 % to Utah Valley’s 45% but still this loss by SC is hard to fathom. USC took 13 more shots and 3 more FT attempts. Kari LaPlante had 8 points and 8 rebounds, while Nadia Parker had 11 points and 7 rebounds.
