The No. 23 Sun Devils (1-1) brought determination to Fort Defiance and came to the court with a strong presence. Unfortunately the presence could not hold up.

ASU lost to No. 4 Baylor (3-0) 65-59 Sunday night after leading the first three quarters of the game.

Leading the team, seniors Kianna Ibis and Courtney Ekmark scored 13 points each, senior Charnea Johnson-Chapman had seven rebounds and junior Reili Richardson had four assists.

The Devils came out strong putting up 19 points in the first quarter and holding Baylor to just 8.

Freshman Jamie Loera got her first taste of action having recovered from injury.
