The Gonzaga Women’s basketball program has had a lot of success the last dozen years. Kelly Graves and Courtney Vandersloot led them to an Elite Eight in 2011. They’ve been to four Sweet 16s, including one under current head coach Lisa Fortier in 2015. Home attendance has gone from under 1,500 to over 5,000 fans per game over the last 10 years. But no team in program history has had a better start than the 2018-2019 Bulldogs.
Their 10-1 start is not fluffed up by a poor schedule, either. They have true road wins over Eastern Washington, UNLV, and Missouri State.
