The San Diego State women's basketball team demonstrated resilience and competitive grit to secure a narrow 70-68 victory over the University of the Pacific Tigers. Namoi Panganiban was instrumental, leading all scorers with 17 points and sinking crucial three-pointers that bolstered the Aztecs' performance. The team's ability to hold off the Tigers in the final stretch proved decisive.
Despite a strong first-half showing that saw SDSU build a significant lead, Pacific mounted a comeback in the third quarter by increasing defensive pressure. The Tigers narrowed the gap considerably, making it a one-point game in the final minutes. However, clutch plays from SDSU's guards and a key high-low assist for the go-ahead layup ultimately sealed the win.
The Aztecs will now shift their focus to the non-conference slate, with upcoming road games against Kansas State and a Mountain West Conference opener against Fresno State. This hard-fought win provides momentum as they head into the next phase of their season.
