SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Katie Hedley scored three goals and Katy Lawlor added a pair, but it was not enough as lopsided third quarter helped No. 5 San Diego State defeat No. 11 Arizona State University, 10-7, in both teams' final Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) game of the season Saturday afternoon at the Aztec Aquaplex in San Diego, Calif. The loss dropped the Sun Devils to 12-12 overall on the year and 5-7 in league play for the second year in a row while the host Aztecs improved to 25-7 overall and 8-5 in the MPSF.
The Aztecs held an early lead after one quarter of play, taking a 3-2 lead advantage into the second stanza. In the second quarter, the Sun Devils scored twice more while holding the hosts to no goals, giving ASU a 4-3 halftime lead. But, third quarter proved to be the downfall of the Sun Devils as they were outscored, 5-2, sending the game to the fourth quarter with ASU down, 8-6. The final period of play saw the Aztecs score a 2-1 advantage for the final score, 10-7.
Along with Hedley and Lawlor's goals, Addison Doud and Amanda Stepp each added one score. Goalie Caylinn Wallace was credited with nine saves in the cage on defense.
The Sun Devils close out their regular season set of games later tonight (7 p.m.) when they face No. 15 UC San Diego in La Jolla, Calif.
