USF women’s WCC tournament run ends against Gonzaga

LAS VEGAS — USF lost its West Coast Conference tournament semifinal game Monday afternoon to Gonzaga, but it might have been a different outcome in a cross-country meet.

The Dons, who had five players log at least 37 minutes, were still darting around in bursts of full-court pressure and diving on the floor for loose balls late in their 65-53 loss to the Bulldogs at the Orleans Arena.

“I’m really proud of the effort throughout the year and especially in this last game,” USF head coach Molly Goodenbour said. “… We came in really believing that we could win this game, and we put up a good fight.
