Although Canada broke the first night’s game open in the third quarter with six goals (ASU had two), the Sun Devils continued to battle and work on their game. They were able to do so as rookie goalie Ianeta Hutchinson stopped 12 shots on the night, including four each in the first and second quarters, to anchor her team’s performance.
Sarah Harris (11) scored two goals during the first night’s competition against the Canadian National Team.

The Sun Devils played well throughout the scrimmage and gained experience for the team as they head into their regular season opener next weekend.
