TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Quinn Dornstauder scored a career-high 22 points and blocked a key shot down the stretch as No. 10 Arizona State rallied from a 12-point second-half deficit to beat No. 12 Stanford 53-52 on Friday night.

Briana Roberson missed a 15-footer with 1 second left and Sophie Brunner got the loose ball for Arizona State (21-2, 10-1 Pac-12) as time expired. Coupled with Oregon State's loss to Washington, the Sun Devils moved into a tie for first place in the Pac-12.

Kelsey Moos added 12 points -- all in the second half -- and seven rebounds for Arizona State.

Amber Orrange had 15 points and Lili Thompson added 11 for Stanford (17-6, 9-2).

Neither team scored in the final 4:35.

The Cardinal possession began with 20.6 left when Elisha Davis was called for carrying the ball after she had stolen the ball from Briana Roberson. Roberson had stolen the ball from Arizona State's Katie Hempen on the other end of the floor.

Stanford ran the clock down to 5.1 seconds remaining and called timeout, setting up Roberson's final attempt.

Arizona State used a 16-0 run to erase a 12-point deficit, taking advantage of four Stanford turnovers and a stretch during which the Cardinal missed eight straight shots. Moos had eight points during the run.

The Sun Devils led 46-42 with 7:43 left and 53-47 with 5:37 left. Thompson hit a 3-pointer with 4:35 left but the Cardinal missed its last five shots.

Stanford had won four straight since losing to Arizona State on Jan. 19, and 11 of its last 12 overall.

After taking an eight-point lead at the half, Stanford scored six straight points and led 42-30 about 5 minutes into the second half. However, Arizona State scored 12 consecutive points to tie the score with 9:56 left.

Stanford held Arizona State's inside players scoreless in the first half in taking a 31-23 lead at the break. `
