LOGAN, Utah – Entering the game with only eight available players and facing one of two remaining unbeaten teams in Mountain West play, Utah State women’s basketball fought to the wire before falling in heartbreaking fashion to San Diego State, 73-72, on Saturday afternoon at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.   Though a string of injuries left the Aggies without several starters and rotation players, USU received a number of strong performances to maintain pace with the league-leading Aztecs. Senior guard/forward Jamisyn Heaton led the team with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting, including a 3-of-5 showing from 3-point range, with four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. Senior center Sophie Sene added 17 points and nine rebounds while senior guard Karyn Sanford played a career-high 38 minutes and finished with 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting with eight rebounds and three assists.   Freshman guard Paloma Munoz Herreros set a new career-high with 13 points while shooting 4-of-9 from the field and 2-of-5 from behind the arc. Freshman guard Aitana Rosello Lopez led the team with four assists while scoring six points while sophomore guard Elise Livingston chipped in with five points, six rebounds and three assists.   The Aggies

And even when the post later clarified it was only for students in Idaho, The HURD didn’t back down. More than $3,000 was raised, with $1,000 of that coming from the Utah State coaching staff itself, to help those students purchase seats in the upper levels of ExtraMile Arena. “When we found out that they couldn’t get in with the student tickets, the staff put some money together, donors put some money together, our athletic director, and helped fund it,” USU head coach Jerrod Calhoun said. “But they came out in droves. I mean, it was pretty incredible at the end of the game, all of the chants. But I think it just shows the commitment that this student body has, not only for our program, but for

For a second time this week, Utah State will be on the road, this time at ExtraMile Arena to take on Boise State. The Aggies could hardly be off to a better start to Mountain West play, sitting at 4-0, but pretty much the opposite can be (and has been) said of the Broncos. Boise State is 1-3 in conference games so far, though it has also faced one of the toughest schedules early on. Here’s all of the necessary info ahead of this game for the Aggies.
