Kylan Loney had five 3-pointers among her 23 points, and Arizona State used 24 turnovers by 11th-ranked Georgia to win 67-57 Tuesday night in Athens, Ga.

The Sun Devils (7-1) scored 30 points off the turnovers. That negated 59-percent shooting by the Bulldogs (5-3), who got 16 points from Tasha Humphrey.

Georgia held a 26-25 halftime lead, but Arizona State had a spurt over an 8-minute stretch of the second half to build a 52-38 edge with 9:56 to play. Emily Westerberg, from Central Valley High, scored six of her 10 points during the stretch.

Baskets by Humphrey and Megan Darrah on in-bounds plays closed the deficit to 61-53 with 5:19 to play. But a 3-pointer by Betsy Boardman ended that momentum with 4:07 remaining, and the teams combined for one basket over the last four minutes.

Westerberg also had four rebounds for the Sun Devils. Regan Pariseau, from CV, contributed three points and Aubree Johnson, from Post Falls, added two points and three assists to help Arizona State to its victory.
