SDSU WOMEN'S BASKETBALL'S SOPHIA RAMOS' BUZZER BEATER LIFTS AZTECS OVER PORTLAND

November 18, 2022 (San Diego) - The Aztec women’s basketball team (4-1) won a
thriller over Portland (2-2) 55-53 after Sophia Ramos hit a running bank-shot as
time expired. The Aztecs trailed by seven points with 3:43 left but didn’t allow
the Pilots to make another field goal and came back to win their fourth game in
a row.



"I'm proud of our kids for their effort tonight,” Head coach Stacie Terry-Hutson
said after the game. “We played a good defensive game against a very big team.”

 

Mercedes Staples led the Aztecs for the second straight game, finishing with 20
points and four made threes. Ramos had 12 points, including the game-winner, and
Yummy Morris had 11 with a team-high eight rebounds.

 

Both squads got off to a slow start with each missing their first six shots. The
Aztecs were able to force seven turnovers in the first half to go up 14-9.

 

The Aztecs never trailed in the first half, but Pilots knotted the score at
21-21 at the half. Both teams shot under 30 percent in the opening half.

 

Portland took their first lead midway through the third quarter at 28-26 and
then pushed their lead to 37-30 a couple minutes later. SDSU was able to cut the
deficit to four points (39-35) entering the fourth quarter.

 

"We were struggling offensively and then we let our defensive principles get
away from us,” Terry-Hutson said. “On a night when the ball doesn't go in as
often as we would like, you must rely on your defense. But, we have a very
veteran team and I was proud that they didn't hang their heads and they just
kept battling to put us in a position to win."

 

The Aztecs trailed until Mercedes Staples hit a three with 23 seconds left. On
the next possession, Portland’s Alex Fowler was fouled and made one of two free
throws to set up SDSU with the final shot in a tie game with 17 seconds left.

 

After a timeout, the Aztecs put the ball in Sophia Ramos’ hands. She drove to
her right and put up a high arcing bank shot that went through as she fell to
the floor and was mobbed by teammates.

 

"It's great that I was able to make that shot, but it's even better seeing our
other players succeed,” Ramos said after the game. “Collectively we played a
great defensive game, so my shot doesn’t happen without everyone else doing
their part as well."

 

STAT OF THE GAME

The Aztecs didn’t allow Portland to make a field goal in the final 3:43, erasing
a seven-point deficit.

 

THE NOTE I

This is the first time the Aztecs have won four in a row since February of 2019.

 

THE NOTE II

Sophia Ramos passed 1,600 career points and Paris Johnson to move into fourth
place on the SDSU all-time scoring list.

 

UP NEXT

 

The Aztecs host Grambling State Tuesday at 6 p.m.
