The Arizona State women's basketball team continues to win at all levels, boasting a 12-0 record and the best start in program history in its first year under Molly Miller.
Based on the Sun Devils' wins on the road over Penn State on Tuesday and Oregon State on Sunday, the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) announced on Tuesday that Arizona State has received the National Team of the Week award.
"Arizona State (12-0) found some coaching magic nearby at Grand Canyon in hiring Molly Miller, who has already guided the unbeaten Sun Devils beyond their 10 wins of last season after road triumphs at Penn State and at Oregon State," the USBWA said in a statement.
"The streak eclipsed the 2008-09 squad’s 9-0 record for the best start in program history and is the longest overall since the 2015-16 team tied that 2008-09 group for a program record 15 straight wins. Miller’s group is third in program history behind the 14-game run by the 2014-15 team."
One of the names the Sun Devils acquired through the transfer portal, point guard Last-Tear Poa, has been crucial in their undefeated start on both ends of the court. She made a game-winning three-pointer in Arizona State's win over the Oreegon State Beavers in overtime on Sunday.
The team also received a vote in ESPN's latest women's college basketball rankings.
The Arizona State women's basketball team will wrap up its road trip and nonconference schedule on Tuesday, taking on the Gonzaga Bulldogs before returning home to face the Colorado Buffaloes on Sunday.
