Allie Turner, Lauren Whittaker help Gonzaga get back on track with win over UC Riverside 85-58
The team rallied after the Idaho loss." Guard Allie Turner, who didn't take a shot in the first quarter, matched Whittaker's 14 points and Teryn Gardner, who came off the bench after starting the first two games, had 11 with five steals.
Key points
- It's nice to be the team that sets the tone versus the team that's having to respond." Gonzaga's starting forwards, Whittaker and Taylor Smith, said the correction started in an early practice Saturday.
- "We just took the rest of the day (Friday, after the loss) to get all of our emotions out," said Smith, who was one of four Zags in double-figure scoring with 12 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals.
- So often it's how you start." Now Gonzaga hits the road for the first time with stops at Grand Canyon on Friday and Stanford on Sunday before returning home Nov.
Call the Zags' 85-58 win over the UC Riverside Highlanders on Sunday before 4,521 at McCarthey Athletic Center a step in the right direction.
Gardner hit a 3-pointer off a pass from Whittaker to give Gonzaga its biggest first-half lead at 28-12 with 4:20 to go in the second quarter.
Additional details
- We started off well and it went from there." Whittaker had her second double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds to go with five assists and four steals.
- A basket from forward Lauren Whittaker capped a 14-1 start.
- "Knowing that the last two games were a bit rough to start, we knew we had to come out and punch first," Whittaker said.
- Now that doesn't mean that everything with the Gonzaga women's basketball team is peachy and without flaw.
- They get a lot of support and they run a difficult style that was hard for us last year.
