BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Danielle Orsillo scored 20 points and hit the game-winning jumper with .5-seconds left, leading Arizona State to a 63-61 victory over California on Saturday.

Janae Fulcher came off the bench to score 12 points for ASU (13-7, 5-4 Pac-10), which snapped Cal's five-game winning streak.

Gennifer Brandon scored a career-high 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Cal (11-9, 5-4).

ASU trailed 59-49 with 4:30 left before making a furious comeback. Tenaya Watson tied the score at 61-61 with two more free throws with 1:11 left.

With time winding down Kali Bennett missed inside, there was a mad scramble that resulted in a jump ball, with the possession arrow in ASU's favor with 3.6 seconds left. The Sun Devils inbounded the ball to Orsillo, who broke free along the right base line and nailed a 10-foot jumper, putting ASU ahead.
