LOGAN, Utah – Utah State women's basketball fell on the road to Fresno State, 86-56, on Wednesday night at the Save Mart Center. 

The Aggies opened the game in rhythm offensively, converting their first two possessions into a layup by senior guard/forward Jamisyn Heaton and a 3-pointer by sophomore guard Elise Livingston to take an early lead. After the quick start, however, USU's offense went cold as the Aggies shot 33.3 percent (9-of-27) from the floor in the opening half while FS managed a mark of 54.3 percent (19-of-35) en route to a 42-25 lead at halftime. A 17-5 Bulldog run in the first quarter gave the home side a double-digit lead which Utah State was unable to overcome through the remainder of the contest.

Livingston led the team with 16 points, including 12 in the opening half, on 5-of-8 shooting from the floor and a 3-of-4 showing from behind the arc. Heaton added 15 points on 5-of-12 shooting, also going 5-of-7 from the free throw line. Senior guard Karyn Sanford led the team with three assists and two steals, also adding eight points and a block. Senior center Sophie Sene added a team-high eight rebounds plus four points, a steal and a block.

USU finished the game shooting 40.0 percent (20-of-50) from the field and 27.3 percent (3-of-11) from 3-point range. The Aggies also shot 59.1 percent (13-of-22) from the FT line. Fresno State finished with a mark of 47.9 percent (35-of-73) from the field and 36.0 percent (9-of-25) from behind the arc.
