While most of San Diego State was away for the Thanksgiving holiday last week, the SDSU women’s basketball team was busy hosting its annual Thanksgiving Classic at Viejas Arena.
In the tournament the Aztecs (2-4) picked up their first two wins of the regular season, knocking off North Dakota State on Black Friday, and University of Wisconsin on Sunday.
“We defended better. That’s what it really boiled down to,” head coach Stacie Terry said.
The Aztecs opened their tournament with a double-digit victory over NDSU, winning 64-54.
SDSU was led by their two sophomore guards Lexy Thorderson and McKynzie Fort, who combined for 32 points in the victory.
