“We were clicking on offense today and shot the ball really well,” Head coach Stacie Terry-Hutson said after the game. “We did a good job sharing the ball and getting the ball inside and initiating contact.”
Mia Davis led the Aztecs with 17 points, one off her career-high that also came against Utah State. Abby Prohaska had 16 and seven rebounds, Adryana Quezada had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, Jada Lewis had 15 points on five made threes and Alyssa Jackson had a career-high 10 points.
