Arizona State closed within a half a game of Stanford's lead in the Pac-10 with a 62-59 home win.
Freshman point guard Briann January scored six of her team's final eight points, including four free throws in the last 30 seconds of the game to lead the Sun Devils.
Candice Wiggins had a game high 28 points for the Cardinal and hit a 3 pointer to get her team within 60-59 with 15.7 seconds to go. But attempts by Wiggins and freshman Rosalyn Gold-Onwude to tie the game before the buzzer did not go down.
Both teams shot under 40% for the game from the floor, but the Sun Devils hit 16 of 17 from the line, while the Cardinal only made 10 of 19 free throws. "You're not going to win close games if you can't go to the line and knock down free throws," said Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer. "To me, that was one of the big differences in the game."
