SERIES NOTES:
Gonzaga and Missouri meet for the first time. This is the Zags first game against an opponent from the state of Missouri, and GU's first trip to the state of Missouri. The Bulldogs are 2-1-0 against Southeastern Conference members all-time, with all three matchups coming against Vanderbilt. After winning the first two in Nashville, GU fell in the latest meeting, 3-2 in overtime, in Spokane on Aug. 28, 2015. Missouri is 2-6-0 against West Coast Conference members all-time. The Tigers won their last meeting against a WCC foe, 4-0, over San Francisco in Columbia on Sept. 2, 2016.
