The Gonzaga women’s team starts the season with their highest pre-season ranking in school history. The AP Poll released Tuesday morning has the Bulldogs ranked 21st in nation, beating their previous pre-season record of 25th.

It’s another milestone in a growing list over the last two seasons. Last year, they shot all the way to 11th in the AP Poll, their best ranking ever. They ended the season ranked at 13 after finishing 28-3, piggybacking off their 28-4 record in 2019.

They return the heavy majority of their roster, including the reigning WCC Player of the Year, Jill Townsend and All-WCC performer Jenn Wirth.
