Coming off of two wins over ranked teams during the Battle 4 Atlantis, the newly minted No. 23 Gonzaga Bulldogs need to dig down deep to push past a Maine squad that came ready to play, winning 62-43.
The Black Bears matched the energy of the Zags for much of the first half. The only real difference was a slight burst of outside shooting from Eliza Hollingsworth. Hollingsworth, who has made 7-of-13 three-point attempts helped give the Zags a little bit of breathing room as they went into halftime up 32-22.
The Zags were finally able to break the game open a little bit more thanks to some hot shooting in the third quarter.
