TEMPE -- The Arizona State women's basketball program (3-0) has started off the 2025-26 season and the Molly Miller era undefeated after defeating the San Diego Toreros (1-3) by a score of 79-47 on Thursday night in their first road game of the season.

The Sun Devils started the game with a solid lead and never let up - eventually settling on a 30-plus point win behind the best offensive showing of the season behind making 14 three-pointers.

First Quarter

The Sun Devils enjoyed one of their best offensive performances of the season in the opening frame of the game - scoring 21 points in the first 10 minutes of the game.

Guard Amaya Williams knocked down two three-point shots in relief of injured PG Last-Tear Poa, senior Gabby Elliott also hit a pair of threes to open the game as well.

The defense played well in general, but did accrue five total fouls and allowed 14 points. The Sun Devils took a 21-14 advantage into quarter two.

Second Quarter

The Sun Devils rode a great first quarter into a dominant second quarter effort. Marley Washenitz had an incredible frame, finishing the first half with 11 points. Arizona State went 7-12 from three-point range in the first 20 minutes of action and took a 40-24 lead into halftime.

Third Quarter

The Sun Devils began the second half somewhat slow, as they were virtually even for much of the quarter before a late run gifted them a 20-15 advantage in the quarter. Washenitz and Elliott continued their impressive scoring outputs with high-level outputs in the period. Arizona State took a 60-39 advantage into the final 10 minutes of action.

Fourth Quarter

Arizona State left little room for doubt over the final 10 minutes of action, as they outscored the Toreros 16-5 over the first eight minutes of the frame.

The Sun Devils only allowed eight points in the fourth quarter, and coasted to a dominant 79-47 victory to set the stage for another road game in California in the coming days.
