In a display of offensive efficiency, the San Jose State Spartans outperformed their opponents in a recent women's basketball game against the Bellarmine Knights. The home team showcased their scoring ability by netting 81 points compared to the visiting team's 65. The Spartans' offense was firing on all cylinders, with a field goal percentage of 47 and converting over half of their two-point attempts at a rate of 54 percent. Their prowess from beyond the arc was less effective but still contributed with a three-point shooting percentage of 27.

Defensively, San Jose State made its presence felt by accumulating five blocks and surpassing Bellarmine with thirteen steals.
