ASU Women’s Basketball: Freshmen class could be a difference maker

Arizona State had a unique situation last year as they had no seniors on a roster of 10. Despite the lack of starting experience, the Sun Devils put together a nice season going 22-13 while making it to the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament and to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

This campaign, the Devils return that entire squad excluding senior Sabrina Haines (transferred) who missed most of 2017-2018 with a torn ACL.

Plus, head coach Charli Turner Thorne has four highly regarded freshmen to work in as well. Those newcomers are Taya Hanson, Jamie Loera, Iris Mbulito and Jayde Van Hyfte, and they each can add a new element to this auspicious Sun Devil team.
