Six players scored in double figures, led by Tatjana Sparavalo's 16 points to go with 11 rebounds, as Eastern Washington opened its women's basketball season with an 80-70 win over Cal State Fullerton Friday night. (It was a late game, doubleheader with the men, and we may not have a link tonight.)

Gonzaga led by seven at halftime but couldn't put the game away and USC out-played the Bulldogs, ranked 22nd in the coach's poll, for a 79-73 win in Los Angeles Friday afternoon.

 Washington State loses at Saint Mary's 73-69.

For updates on area players (we know LC grad Lyndi Seidersticker had a big game in a loss and GPrep grad Tara Cronin led Portland in a win, Post Falls frosh Katie Loper had an impressive debut in Hofstra loss), check Twitter, SRtrim.
