SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Jill Barta's double-double was too much for Santa Clara women's basketball Saturday afternoon as the Broncos fell to Gonzaga 63-51 in the conference home opener.
Barta, the third-leading scorer in the conference, led all players with 21 points and added 11 rebounds while going 8-for-9 from the free throw line.
The Bulldogs (9-4, 2-0 WCC) led by double-digits for almost the entire second half and pulled away for good over the final minute of the third quarter and first three minutes of the fourth with 13 in a row to build a game-high lead of 56-34.
