LOS ANGELES - Loyola Marymount dominated play all night long as the Lions hit an amazing .519 in the opening stanza and continued en route to the 30-14, 30-19, 30-14 victory. It was the Lions' 19th consecutive win over the Bulldogs, dating back to Nov. 8, 1992. LMU improved to 11-3, 2-0 in WCC play while Gonzaga fell to 2-13, 0-2 in the WCC.

Gonzaga took a 9-6 lead in game two after a Christina Davis kill, but LMU scored 20 of the next 27 points to cruise to the victory.
The third game was more of the same, as Gonzaga hit -.029.
