TEMPE, Ariz. – The Arizona State University women's basketball team is ranked No. 18 in the Associated Press preseason poll announced on Tuesday.
Defending co-regular season champions of the Pac-12, the Sun Devils were ranked No. 16 in the USA Today preseason coaches poll announced last week. ASU was picked to finish fourth in the Pac-12 by the league's coaches at last month's Pac-12 Women's Basketball Media Day in San Francisco.
The Sun Devils return three senior starters – posts Sophie Brunner, Quinn Dornstauder and Kelsey Moos – from the 2015-16 squad that captured a share of the Pac-12 regular season title, won 26 games (tied for third-highest win total in program history) and went on to earn a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, the highest placement in program history. In addition to the aforementioned senior starters, 2016 Pac-12 Coach of the Year Charli Turner Thorne will also welcome a five-member freshman class – Sydney Goodson, Reili Richardson, Jamie Ruden, Kiara Russell and Robbi Ryan – that was ranked among the nation's top 10 signing classes when it was announced last fall, and Sara Hattis, a graduate post who will be eligible to play this season after transferring to ASU from the University of Texas in May.
Season and single-game tickets are now on sale for the Sun Devil women's basketball team's 2016-17 home slate. Click here for more information or contact a Sun Devil ticket office representative at 480-965-5812.
