Gonzaga is rolling into the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nearly a decade.
Tue, March 26th 2024 at 8:40 AMHead coach Lisa Fortier of the Gonzaga Bulldogs reacts in the locker room after beating Utah Utes in the second round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament at McCarthey Athletic Center on March 25, 2024 in Spokane, Washington. Once Kayleigh Truong, her sister Kaylynne and the rest of Gonzaga's sharp-shooters got hot from the perimeter, there was nothing another starring effort from Utah's Alissa Pili could do to slow down the Zags.
These guys, they set their own goals and they want to break all these records that people at Gonzaga haven't done before and you just have to remind them to check them off little by little," Gonzaga coach Lisa Fortier said. “If you want to do things we haven't done, we got to go one step at a time. They played tough today.
“You got to give them credit for what they do. It's not easy standing the whole game and cheering people on and losing their voices,” Ejim said. “I'm grateful I came to Utah and kind of turned my whole life around," Pili said. “I'm grateful and I'm ready for the future.” On the court, Gonzaga trailed by as many as seven early in the second quarter before a barrage of shots started falling.
