The Gonzaga Bulldogs showed solid poise and steadiness in a win over the Portland Pilots with a game much closer than the final score suggests, 68-59.
The Zags got off to a quick 12-4 start and it seemed like it would be a continuation of their first game against Portland. Using Melody Kempton and Yvonne Ejim, the Zags attacked the Portland zone, finding the cracks and scoring in the gaps.
However, Portland began to close the gap, slowly but surely. The Zags tried their best to stymy the advance, switching up their defensive schemes on multiple possessions.
