A tenacious defensive effort, a senior-spurred late run, and the heart of a team that has been tested time and time again.
It all came together for the SDSU women’s basketball program on Tuesday night as the 11th seeded Aztecs pulled off their second major upset of the Memphis Regional, advancing to Tennessee with a 64-55 win over 3rd seeded West Virginia.
