Lauren Nicholson knocked down the game-winning jumper with only seconds remaining, and the Gaels triumphed over Gonzaga 69-68 in Spokane. After losing two successive games back in late December, Saint Mary’s (16-4, 7-2) has rattled off six consecutive wins to move into third place in the WCC and only a game behind San Diego and BYU for first in the conference.
While the Gaels got on the board first with a Nicholson layup, Gonzaga proceeded to go on a 15-6 run and ended up finishing the first quarter with a 20-16 lead.
