Sun Devils Riding High
Arizona State enters this conference play with serious momentum, boasting an 18-1 record. They recently wrapped up their home season with a flawless 4-0 performance at the Sun Devil Classic. The team showcased their dominance by outscoring opponents LaVerne, Biola, Long Island, and Azusa Pacific with a staggering combined score of 90-21.
Senior goalkeeper Sanne Keijzer was a standout, achieving a shutout against LaVerne, only the third in the program’s history. Across the weekend, Keijzer tallied 18 saves and allowed just five goals in her two starts, proving to be a formidable last line of defense.

Millie Quin has been nothing short of spectacular this season. The senior is closing in on a major milestone, needing just 17 more goals to surpass Luca Petovary as the Sun Devil's all-time leading scorer. With 74 goals already this season in just 19 games, Quin’s offensive prowess is undeniable.
Currently, Quin sits in the 10th spot on the MPSF's all-time career goals list. She began her collegiate journey at Cal, where she netted 19 goals before becoming a key player for the Sun Devils.
