LOS ANGELES (AP) - Senior Cian Carvalho scored 13 points to lead No. 23 Arizona State to a 70-57 victory over UCLA on Thursday night.
Five Sun Devils scored in double figures in the victory for the first time this season. Sophomore Betsy Boardman had 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including 3-of-4 3-point attempts, and senior Amanda Levens, who played just 24 limited minutes due to an ankle injury, scored 11 as Arizona State (15-4, 6-2 Pac-10) won its fourth straight game and moved into sole possession of second place in the Pac-10. Freshman Carrie Buckner and senior Melody Johnson added 10 each.
Whitney Jones scored 15 points, and Malika Leatham added 10 for the Bruins (5-11, 2-6), who shot 35 percent (21-of-60) for the game.
The Sun Devils led 30-21 at halftime and shot 80 percent (16-of-20) from the field in the second half.
