Gonzaga got 15 points from Katie Campbell, 20 from Chandler Smith, and held off a furious Stanford rally to upset #8 Stanford 79-73 on Sunday.
Gonzaga, who has struggled all season to score the ball, blitzed Stanford to the tune of 43 first half points and an 11-point advantage. The Zags went 16-for-29 from the field, including six threes, four of them from Campbell.
Gonzaga extended the lead to 17 in the third quarter with a phenomenal defensive performance. Stanford committed 15 turnovers on the day and shot just 44 percent to Gonzaga’s 54.
But you knew Stanford would make their run.
