Still top dog

On a day when the Gonzaga women’s basketball program said goodbye to its most prolific offensive player, the Bulldogs once again made a statement with defense. The 21st-ranked Zags locked up a share of their sixth straight West Coast Conference championship Saturday afternoon with an impressive 87-45 Senior Day drubbing of third-place Pepperdine before 4,829 fans, the third-largest McCarthey Athletic Center crowd for a women’s game.

Panthers girls topple Lewis and Clark

The history books will show fourth-seeded Mead won the District 8 4A girls basketball championship, but the Panthers won’t remember it that way. “With the way our teams beat each other, seedings didn’t matter,” Mead coach Regan Drew said. “It was going to be a tough matchup.”

Chiefs survive thriller

The Western Hockey League playoffs may not start for a month, but you won’t convince the sellout crowd of 10,530 at the Arena they saw anything less than a playoff game Saturday night.

Gonzaga women roll on

Courtney Vandersloot had another big all-around game and Heather Bowman inched closer to the school scoring record as the Gonzaga women’s basketball team destroyed Santa Clara 81-43 before 2,419 fans at McCarthey Athletic Center Thursday night. Vandersloot had 19 points, eight assists, seven steals, three rebounds and no turnovers in a team-high 28 minutes to help the (17-4, 6-0) build a 40-point lead before the midway point of the second half when reserves took over.

Maybe Mirai Nagasu is out to change the world order, which may just happen if she changes the pecking order in women’s figure skating. But it won’t be easy, not with the way Sasha Cohen skated in her comeback.
