The BYU Cougars kept it tight for half of the game, but Yvonne Ejim and company had other ideas, exploding in the third quarter to lead the Gonzaga Bulldogs to a 79-64 victory and a trip to the WCC Tournament Championship.
BYU hung around for the better part of 20 minutes, bringing a balanced scoring attack that was able to fight past overall poor shooting. The Zags, led by Kaylynne Truong, Ejim, and McKayla Williams, weathered their own poor shooting from outside to take a 31-25 lead at half.
The Zags opened the second half with an 8-0 run and from there it was pretty much all over.
