Carly Bachelor scores career-high 23
Omaha, Neb. -- Carly Bachelor had a career-high 23 points and Creighton overcame a seven point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat Arizona State 69-62 in a battle of top-50 NET teams on Sunday afternoon inside D.J. Sokol Arena in Omaha.
Creighton improved to 6-0 at home and 6-2 overall (2-0 BIG EAST) this season while Arizona State dropped to 5-5.
The Bluejays controlled the first half as sophomore Emma Ronsiek scored the first seven points of the game and CU led 16-9 after one quarter. Bachelor scored eight points in the second quarter as the Bluejays maintained their seven point edge and took a 29-22 lead into the break.
An 11-0 run early in the third quarter helped ASU take its first lead of the afternoon at 33-32 on a free throw line jumper from Jayde Van Hyfte. The Bluejays answered with three-pointers by Molly Mogensen and Morgan Maly before the Sun Devils uncorked a 7-0 burst to own a 44-39 advantage. Jade Loville beat multiple defenders in the final seconds of the quarter to give ASU a 46-41 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Creighton fell behind 48-41 after the opening possession of the final frame before embarking on an 13-2 run to regain a 54-50 lead and never looked back. Bachelor had eight of those points while Tatum Rembao added the other five. The Sun Devils answered with a bucket before a Ronsiek bucket and a pair of free throws by Rachael Saunders put the Bluejays up 58-52. ASU would get no closer than four points the rest of the day.
The Bluejays put the game away on Mogensen's left-handed hook shot with 35 seconds left that gave the hosts a 64-58 advantage. Jaddan Simmons got ASU within four at 64-60 with 28 seconds left before Mogensen hit nothing but the bottom of the net on a pair of free throws. Ronsiek and Mogensen sank additional free throws down the stretch to ice the win, as CU outscored ASU 18-6 at the line for the afternoon.
Bachelor's 23 points eclipsed her previous best of 20 done in last year's WNIT victory vs. Bowling Green as the junior made 9-of-11 field goal attempts. Ronsiek (15) and Mogensen (10) also scored in double-digits. The Bluejays made 18-of-22 free throws on the afternoon.
ASU was paced by 18 points from Mael Gilles, while Simmons had 14 and Loville contributed 15 points.
Creighton returns to the floor on Thursday when it hosts South Dakota at 6:30 p.m. Arizona State is off until visiting San Diego next Saturday.
