Column: Aztecs finding success with 2-3 zone defense

San Diego State women’s basketball head coach Stacie Terry-Hutson usually runs a man-to-man defense with a trickle of a zone defense just to switch things up.

For most of this season, that has changed.

Terry-Hutson implemented a 2-3 zone defense and not only has it been productive in the stat sheet, but it has helped younger Aztecs adjust to playing at the collegiate level.

Terry-Hutson said the goal of the zone is to complement the team’s man defense.

“We’re just trying to keep our opponents guessing and changing it up so no one can really get into a rhythm,” Terry-Hutson said.
