TEMPE, Ariz. – The No. 16 Arizona State women's basketball team was unable to duplicate the late-game heroics it produced in recent wins as it fell to UCLA 61-59 on Friday in the 13thannual Sparky's Kids to College Field Trip Game.
A 3-pointer by UCLA's Japreece Dean with nine seconds remaining proved to be the game-winning points as the Sun Devils were not able to come up with a score on the opposite end that would have either produced a win or sent the game into overtime.
Courtney Ekmark led ASU (13-6, 4-4 Pac-12) in both points (14) and rebounds (6) on Friday as the Sun Devils fell to 4-2 in games decided by five points or less.
