A trip to Provo, Utah proved to be fruitful for Gonzaga as Lisa Fortier’s squad locked up the WCC regular season Championship with a 58-51 win over the BYU Cougars. The best part? They don’t have to share the title. This team has earned that hardware and more considering they produced a 17-1 conference record despite the injuries that have plagued this squad.
The Zags used a strong second half push to overcome a 4-point deficit at halftime as a stingy defense held the Cougars to just four points in the third quarter and 20 in the second half.
