Arizona State women’s basketball (1-0) had a strong opening to their season with a 71-41 victory over Northern Colorado (0-1).
“It was a good team win,” coach Charli Turner Thorne said. “I thought we were nervous. I thought we just had first game jitters. We came out, we punched hard, but then we’re not in great game shape yet, obviously, so we got a little tired.”
ASU had a strong first quarter, outscoring the Bears 19-7. The Sun Devils then let up, going without a score for the first 5:47 of the third quarter.
“Also, we just need to get comfortable being up and not taking our foot off the gas because we did that in our scrimmages, as well,” Turner Thorne said.
