Petovary recorded a team-high 16 total goals, including a career-high six goals and nine points in the win over Biola. Her nine points is the second most recorded in a game by a Sun Devil in program history behind Vanda Baksa’s 10 point (8G-2A) performance last season.
Petovary’s 16 goals is already half of her total goals scored in 2022 through four games played, as it took her 12 games last year to reach the 16 goal mark. Her 7 assists on the weekend puts her at 22 points which also leads the team. Defensively, she had 10 steals, 5 coming during her career-high offensive performance, and two blocked shots.
