It was death by a thousand cuts for the Pacific Tigers as the Gonzaga Bulldogs surgically dismantled them in a win, 79-38, on Thursday evening.
Ten different Gonzaga players scored, led by Kayleigh Truong’s 12 points and followed by Kaylynne Truong, Abby O’Connor, and Eliza Hollingsworth with 10 each.
Kayleigh Truong’s hot hand helped get the Zags off to a quick start. Truong scored six points in the first 10 minutes as Gonzaga shot 7-of-11 from the floor to take a 24-13 lead.
Things got even worse for the Tigers in the second quarter. Gonzaga continued its wrong, this time powered by O’Connor flexing her outside shot, hitting a couple of threes and chipping in eight points in the quarter.
