SPOKANE, Wash. - What's in your locker? Tell us at ZagsLocker.com.
The Gonzaga University athletic department has launched an interactive women's basketball micro site which gives fans an opportunity to share their Zag experiences through photos and comments.
ZagsLocker.com has many unique attributes to the sites.
1. Fans can upload their best Gonzaga photos to the site. For each game, one fan photo will be picked as the `Photo of the Game'. The person who submitted the photo will receive two tickets to the next closest women's basketball contest. Their photo will also be displayed on the video boards during that said game.
2. Fans also have a chance to win a women's basketball commemorative Sweet Sixteen mini banner by simply registering their name. Two hundred fans will be chosen at random to earn the commemorative piece.
3. Fans also have the opportunity to answer weekly trivia questions/comment and if your answer is the best or you are the first to answer correctly, you will win a Gonzaga Bulldog prize pack. (To comment, you either have to post a comment when signed into Facebook or Tweet one to @GonzagaBulldogs right on the site)
4. Fans can also watch new women's basketball videos posted each week. Fans can see weekly `Talking Hoops With `Sloot' videos, head coach Kelly Graves talking about upcoming contests or post-game interviews, or `Getting to Know' player videos. You never know what will be uploaded. This week you can see Courtney Vandersloot interview teammate Meghan Winters and get all the inside information on her dad Brian, the former NBA player, and sister Keelin, a women's soccer star at the University of Portland.
Along with ZagsLocker.com, the Gonzaga athletic marketing department has released their promotional schedule for the women's basketball season. For the full promotional schedule, fans can go HERE.
