Arkansas-Little Rock at Arizona State

TEMPE, Ariz. (Interstat) — The undefeated Arizona State Sun Devils look to continue their strong start to the season when they host the struggling Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans in a nonconference women’s basketball game Friday at Wells Fargo Arena.

Arizona State (6-0) is coming off an 81-54 rout of Utah Tech on Tuesday. McKinna Brackens led the way with 19 points, while Amaya Williams and Heloisa Carrera added 10 and 12 points, respectively. The Sun Devils have won their games by an average margin of 16 points, including a 56-53 victory over UNLV on Nov. 22.

Arkansas-Little Rock (1-3) has dropped three straight since a season-opening 99-41 win over Central Baptist. The Trojans are looking to rebound from a 96-57 loss at Arkansas on Nov. 20. Jordan Holman scored 14 points in that contest, and Alaina Payne added six points and four assists.

The game is part of a multi-team event for the Trojans, who will face San Diego at the same venue on Saturday. Arizona State will also remain at home to host Southeast Missouri State on Saturday.

Friday’s matchup pits one of the nation’s early unbeaten teams against a Trojans squad seeking to right the ship against high-major competition.
