The Gonzaga Bulldogs rebounded exactly how one would want from a loss, using their trademark stifling defense and some solid offense down low to easily push past Eastern Washington in the last non-conference game of the season, 76-48.
The Zags opened pretty cold from long range, but it did not matter because Yvonne Ejim came to ball tonight. Ejim had eight points off a perfect 4-of-4 shooting in the first 10 minutes of play, helping the Zags establish an early and dominant inside presence.
The second quarter was Melody Kempton’s turn. Eastern tried to mount a couple of runs to close the gap, but each time the Zags stood strong and punched back.
