GONZAGA BULLDOGS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

West Coast ConferenceD1winter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Gonzaga women's basketball has built one of the West Coast Conference's most formidable programs from Spokane's 7,470-student campus. Coach Lisa Fortier's Bulldogs are 19-8 this season with an 8-2 conference record, demonstrating consistent offensive punch through 72.8 points per game while holding opponents to just 63.9. The roster of 13 players has performed especially well at home, posting a 10-4 record in the McCarthey Athletic Center against the demanding West Coast Conference schedule.

The Bulldogs' offensive efficiency separates them from typical mid-major programs, with their point-per-game average placing them among the conference's statistical leaders. Away from Spokane, Gonzaga maintains a 9-4 road mark, suggesting the program's ability to compete on neutral ground—a critical element for tournament positioning. At Gonzaga University, founded in 1887, the women's basketball program continues building on recent momentum, with Fortier establishing a winning culture that leverages both home-court advantage and sustainable road success across the West Coast Conference's competitive landscape.
