The Lady Raiders forced their second five-second turnover of the game to start the second quarter as N\u00fa\u00f1ez kept up the run for Tech with a driving layup right after. Arizona State stopped the 9-0 run with two free throws, but Bristow once again made a bucket to increase the lead to six points.
