In the final game of its WNIT run, Arizona State guard Taya Hanson had nine points on 3-10 shooting with no triples and four turnovers in the two-point defeat. As the Sun Devils’ leader in points (12.8 per game), steals (1.3 per game) and free throw percentage (83.7), Hanson should look to turn this rough performance into fuel during the 2021 offseason.
A rising senior, Hanson is poised to step into the “team leader” role again for ASU. She was one of two players to start all 24 games during her junior year, after primarily coming off the bench her first two years in Tempe.
