The Gonzaga women kicked off their conference season, taking on BYU for one of the last times before they move to the Big XII next season. Historically, the matchup has been the battle of the top two teams in the WCC, but the Cougars are rebounding from major roster construction and six of their first 10 games.
BYU showed up in the first half, hitting 7 of their final 9 field goal attempts and held a 32-29 lead. The Cougars were successful early in limiting Yvonne Ejim in the first, holding her to 3 for 7 shooting in the first half and 0-2 in the second half before fouling out.
