Game Recap: Women's Basketball |
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Utah State women's basketball (4-21, 1-13 MW) fell on the road Saturday afternoon, losing to San Diego State (17-10, 8-6 MW) 90-62 at Viejas Arena in San Diego. 
 
Utah State's afternoon was highlighted by a 22-point performance by junior guard Cheyenne Stubbs, her seventh 20-plus point outing of the season. Along with her 22 points, Stubbs also recorded four boards, two assists and a pair of steals. Junior guard Macy Smith was the other double-digit scorer for the Aggies, finishing with 11 points to go along with three boards and an assist. 
 
After going down 9-0 out of the gates, hot shooting from deep kept the Aggies alive in the first quarter as junior guard Macy Smith scored the team's first six points and the first three buckets for the Aggies came from outside the arc. 
 
Despite a 17-point second quarter, Utah State was unable to keep pace with a hot-shooting Aztec squad that shot 58.1 percent (18-of-31) from the floor in the first half. The home team took a 46-32 advantage into the locker room at the half. 
 
The Aggie defense tightened up in the final quarter, limiting SDSU to just 13 points, but USU was unable to keep up as five different Aztecs scored in double-figures to secure the win. 
 
Leading the Aggies in the rebound column were sophomore forward Tiairra Hill-Brown and junior guard Skye Miller, who finished with five boards apiece. Miller also went for nine points. 
 
Utah State finished the contest shooting 31.7 percent (19-of-60) from the floor, 40.9 percent (9-of-22) from 3-point range and 65.2 percent (15-of-23) at the charity stripe. San Diego State shot 53.1 percent (34-of-64) from the field, including 40.0 percent (10-of-25) from deep and 60.0 percent (12-of-20) from the free throw line. 
 
The Aztecs were paced by Mia Davis, who finished with a team-high of 17 points.
