WBB_Year_in_ReviewWBB_Year_in_Review

Despite having star forward Mallory Adams limited to six games due to injury, the Aztecs went 14-17 in 2019-20 with a 9-9 mark in conference (tied for fifth place), their highest finish in seven years.

Armed with the backcourt duo of Sophia Ramos and Taylor Kalmer, both of which were all-Mountain West honorees, SDSU had one of their most efficient seasons in years, finishing in the top three in the conference in field goal percentage and three-point percentage on both offense and defense.

It seemed every game went down to wire, and the Aztecs ended up going to overtime five times and had 11 of their final 18 games go to OT or be decided by five points or less.
