SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — The Arizona State Sun Devils put on an offensive clinic, dismantling the San Diego Toreros in a decisive 79-47 victory in a non-conference women’s basketball game Thursday night at a sparsely attended Jenny Craig Pavilion.

From the opening tip, Arizona State established a commanding presence, building a 21-14 lead after the first quarter and extending it to a 40-24 advantage by halftime. The Sun Devils never relented, outscoring the Toreros in every quarter to cruise to their third consecutive win to open the season. San Diego’s record fell to 1-3.

The game was defined by Arizona State’s blistering efficiency from beyond the arc and a stifling defense that forced San Diego into a night of offensive struggles. The Sun Devils shot a remarkable 14 for 22 from three-point range, a 63.6 percent success rate that kept the Toreros perpetually on their heels. Overall, Arizona State shot 51.7 percent from the field.

Defensively, Arizona State was equally dominant. They held San Diego to just 29.1 percent shooting from the floor and a 35.3 percent clip from three-point range. The Toreros also struggled at the free-throw line, making only 9 of 18 attempts. The Sun Devils’ pressure defense generated 19 turnovers, which they converted into numerous transition opportunities.

Leading the charge for Arizona State was guard Gabby Elliott. The Detroit native poured in a game-high 24 points, showcasing her sharp shooting by connecting on multiple three-pointers. She was instrumental in building the Sun Devils’ early lead and maintaining their offensive momentum throughout the contest.

She was complemented by fellow guard Marley Washenitz, who delivered a stellar all-around performance with 19 points and six assists. The duo’s backcourt synergy proved too much for the San Diego defense to contain. Point guard Amaya Williams orchestrated the offense with precision, dishing out 11 assists while adding six points and contributing on defense with a block and multiple steals.

For San Diego, Olivia Owens was the primary offensive threat, finishing with 14 points and four assists. However, the Toreros lacked the consistent firepower to keep pace with Arizona State’s high-octane attack. The team’s 47 points and offensive rating of 68.6 on 69 possessions underscored the difficulty they faced against a disciplined Sun Devil defense.

The victory extends Arizona State’s perfect start to the season, following wins over Eastern Washington and Coppin State. The Sun Devils will look to continue their momentum on the road against Santa Clara on Saturday. San Diego, after suffering its second straight double-digit loss, will aim to regroup on the road at Colorado State on Monday.
