Full recap
Go-getter Gabby
Gabby Gaetano has been a consistent and well-rounded contributor throughout her career as a Sun Devil.
Over three seasons, she has accumulated 25 goals, 20 assists and 45 total points, while adding 14 steals on the defensive end. She has appeared in games at every level of competition, including multiple appearances at the Malmsten Invitational and has made an impact on both ends of the pool.
Her freshman year was her strongest offensive season, recording 14 goals and nine assists for 23 points across 21 games. As a sophomore, she appeared in 25 games and continued to provide value on both offense and defense. This season she has already recorded two goals through five games.
Gabby's career numbers are a reflection of her dedication and consistency to this program year after year.
Mighty Molly
Molly Glad began her collegiate career at USC, where she redshirted her first season before scoring four goals as a redshirt freshman, including her first career goals in a two goal outing against Biola. She also earned ACWPC All-Academic honors and a Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll spot during her time with the Trojans.
She then brought that foundation with her to Arizona State, where she made an immediate impact. Her junior season was a breakout year, highlighted by a five goal performance against No. 14 UC San Diego, the highest single game output of her career.
To open her senior season, Molly recorded three goals and one assist at the Malmsten Invitational before suffering an injury that has kept her out of the pool since. Despite that setback, her contributions to this program have not gone unnoticed.
As a Sun Devil, she tallied 33 goals, 17 assists, and 12 steals. Across both programs, Molly finishes her career with 46 goals, 19 assists, 65 total points and 18 steals. She is a two-program athlete who gave everything she had every time she competed.
Stellar Sanne
As a sophomore, Sanne Keijzer made 28 starts and compiled 236 saves on the season, finishing third in the MPSF conference and ranking fifth in the conference with a 51.6 save percentage. She made 10 or more saves in a game seven times that season, including a 20-save performance against No. 20 Wagner that ranked among the best single-game totals in program history.
Her junior season brought continued reliability, as she appeared in nine games, collected 71 saves, and finished with an impressive .497 save percentage while averaging nearly eight saves per game.
Now in her senior season, Sanne has picked up right where she left off. She totaled 26 saves over the Malmsten Invitational and has already recorded two 18 save performances this season, one against Long Island in the Sun Devil Classic and another against Marist in the ASU Invitational. Both performances rank No. 8 in program history for most saves in a single game.
Over her career, Sanne has appeared in 49 games, made 427 saves, and averaged 8.8 saves per game. She has been one of the most dependable goalkeepers this program has seen.
Magnificent Millie
Millie Quin began her collegiate career at California, appearing in 22 matches as a freshman and scoring 19 goals for the Golden Bears, including a season high four goal performance against Arizona State. She also represented her home country of New Zealand at the World Aquatic Championships, showcasing her talent on the international stage.
She then transferred to Arizona State and the impact was immediate. As a sophomore, she started all 31 games and recorded 73 goals, 42 assists, and 115 points, ranking second in the MPSF behind only her own teammate. She posted 16 hat tricks, three five goal games and 21 multi goal games on the season. That performance earned her ACWPC All-American Honorable Mention honors and a Second Team All-MPSF selection, her first career accolades as a Sun Devil.
Her junior season continued that trajectory, as she recorded 89 goals, 27 assists and 116 points while adding 37 steals.
Now in her senior season, Millie has been nothing short of extraordinary. At the Malmsten Invitational alone, she scored 25 goals and added 10 assists across five games, shooting at a .682 clip and earning nine steals. Her eight-point performance against Michigan accounted for half of the team's total output in that game. That weekend performance earned her the Delfina MPSF Player of the Week award.
Most importantly, this season Millie became the all-time leading scorer in Sun Devil program history with 253 goals, and the all-time points leader with 349 points. Across her entire career, she has totaled 279 goals, 101 assists, 380 points and 110 steals. Those are not just program records. Those are the numbers of one of the best to ever play this game.
Stronghold Sophie
As a freshman, Sophie Shorter-Robinson appeared in 22 games and scored 25 goals, including a season high four goal performance against top ranked Stanford. She posted three hat tricks on the year and added four assists and 11 steals. That summer, she represented New Zealand at both the 2023 Women's World Cup and the 2023 World Aquatics Water Polo World Championship alongside teammate Millie Quin.
Her sophomore season was when Sophie truly announced herself as one of the team's primary weapons. She appeared in all 31 games, scored 55 goals and added seven assists for 62 points, scoring in 23 of the last 24 games of the season. She ranked second on the team with 29 drawn exclusions and added 15 steals and six blocks on the year.
As a junior, Sophie recorded 46 goals, 24 assists and 81 points while adding 11 steals.
To open her senior season, she has continued to deliver. She scored 13 goals over the ASU Invitational weekend, including four goals in a top 25 matchup against No. 19 SDSU. At the Malmsten Invitational, she added six more goals and seven steals, including four steals in a single game against Michigan.
Over her career, Sophie has totaled 161 goals, 16 assists, 177 points, and 52 steals. She has been one of the most consistent and impactful players this program has had, and her legacy as a Sun Devil is well earned.
Nifty Nioka
Nioka Thomas comes to Arizona State as a graduate student with a strong resume built over four seasons at UC Irvine.
She scored 14 goals as a freshman before breaking out in her sophomore year, earning All-American Second Team and All-Big West First Team honors after posting 53 goals, nine hat tricks and 94 shots across 26 games. Her junior year was spent competing with the Australian National Team rather than in the collegiate pool. She returned for her senior season and earned All-Big West Honorable Mention honors, finishing second on the team with 48 goals and drawing 43 exclusions on the year.
In her first season as a Sun Devil, Nioka recorded nine goals across the ASU Invitational, including two hat tricks. At the Malmsten Invitational she added eight goals across five games, shot at a .567 percentage, and recorded five steals within two games.
Her career totals stand at 145 goals, 21 assists, 166 points and 14 field blocks.
