LAS VEGAS – The Gonzaga women are going out on top.

Second-seeded Gonzaga outlasted fourth-seeded Oregon State 76-66 to win the West Coast Conference Tournament for an 11th time on Tuesday at Orleans Arena.

The Zags (24-9), who are bound for the Pac-12 next season, won their first WCC Tournament title since 2022 and are heading back to the NCAA Tournament after missing out last season.

WCC Player of the Year Lauren Whittaker was a force for the Zags, scoring 26 points with nine rebounds. GU held Oregon State without a field goal during a crucial 3-minute stretch at the end of the fourth quarter, avenging last season’s loss to the Beavers in the WCC semifinals.

The Zags were able to limit their turnovers to eight, cutting down on their biggest weakness this season.

Allie Turner scored 14 points and Ines Bettencourt added 12 for the Zags.
