Gonzaga Women's Basketball Faces Tough Nonconference Test | Spokane News

Gonzaga’s women’s basketball team is about to face one of the toughest nonconference schedules in program history, with six top-100 NET opponents—including four NCAA Tournament teams—and key road games against Stanford, Arizona State, and Michigan State. Under Coach Lisa Fortier’s 13th season, this slate will serve as a brutal proving ground, especially as she closes in on becoming Gonzaga’s all-time winningest women’s coach. The Zags open at home against NDSU, Idaho, and UC Riverside before hitting the road for Grand Canyon, Stanford, and Hawaii’s North Shore Classic. December brings Yale, ASU, Loyola Marymount, and finishes with home games against South Dakota State and St. Thomas—all while fans eagerly await how this stacked schedule shapes their postseason potential.
