(Santa Clara Athletics) Foul trouble was Santa Clara’s demise Saturday against No. 18 Gonzaga. The Broncos take on last-place USF next.

SPOKANE, Wash.—Like Men’s Basketball before them, Women’s Basketball was unable to overcome No. 18 Gonzaga, falling 78-61 to the Bulldogs on Saturday.

The Broncos, who out-shot their opponents from the field, fouled the Bulldogs 22 times, resulting in 22 of Gonzaga’s points coming in the form of uncontested free-throws. Bulldogs’ Zykera Rice led the game in points scored with 18—more than half of which came from the free throw line.
