TEMPE – A slow start for the Sun Devil women's basketball coupled with a fast start by No. 16 West Virginia proved to be too big of an obstacle for the Sun Devils to overcome in an 89-59 loss to the Mountaineers on Wednesday.
Coming off her season-high 32-point outing at current No. 10 Kansas State on Sunday, Jalyn Brown once again paced ASU (8-12, 2-6 Big 12) with 16 points. Kennedy Fauntleroy scored 14 points and led the ASU in both rebounds (seven) and steals (two). Fauntleroy (5-8 FGs) and Jyah LoVett (10 points, 4-8 FGs) combined to shoot 56 percent from the floor for the Sun Devils, who shot 53 percent in the fourth quarter (9-17 FGs) to end the game on a high note after making 36 percent of their shots through three quarters.
