The Gonzaga women survived numerous runs from a pesky Santa Clara team to improve to 10-1 in the WCC this season. Kaylynne Truong led all players with 18 while Kayleigh pitched in 14.
The Zags were stout defensively from the jump, forcing seven turnovers in the first quarter. However, were unable to get themselves going offensively in the opening period, scoring just 16 and not taking the lead until eight minutes had passed.
Once the Bulldogs took the lead, they were able to keep it, going on a 9-2 run to open the second quarter to establish a 14-point lead, their largest of the half.
