2nd Half (61:22)

2nd Half (62:55)
Two back to back shot attempts by Baylor’s Lauren Omholt and Aryanna Jimison but the Sun Devil defense doesn’t let either shot go through.
2nd Half (64:42)
ASU’s Kiera Blundell takes the closest Sun Devil shot to a goal all night but can’t quite get it in.

Another brilliant save by BU’s Azul Alvarez on Tano Uzezi-Itesa.

Baylor intercepts ASU’s pass and Aryanna Jimison scores her 8th goal of the year for Baylor with ease. 2-0 Baylor Bears.

FULL TIME
Baylor takes tonight’s matchup tonight 2-0. The Bears had control almost all night as the Sun Devils fall to 3-5-1 tonight. One main takeaway from tonight however, is that Baylor’s Aryanna Jimison is a stud. 8 total shots on goal for her tonight with 1 going in. The Sun Devils have a lot to clean up if they want to extend their season longer this year.
