THE TIPOFF

- The Gonzaga women's basketball team stays on the road to play Toledo on Sunday, Nov. 9.

- The Zags are coming off an 81-66 win at North Dakota State. Four players scored in double figures and GU shot 66.7% from beyond the arc, which was the second-best shooting performance in program history at the three-point line.

- The Bulldogs were picked to finish second in the West Coast Conference in the preseason coaches poll. Sophomore Allie Turner and junior Zee Aukoso were named to the WCC Preseason Team as well.

- Allie Turner is tied for #1 among all returners in three points made in 2024-25 and the first freshman since 2020-21 to record 100+ three pointers in a single season.

- Turner was recently named to the 2026 Becky Hammon Player of the Year Preseason Watch List. She was one of 25 players in the country to make the list.

- Head coach Lisa Fortier currently sits at 290-74 in her career. Among active Division I coaches with at least five years at the level, she is currently ranked fifth in winning percentage. Fortier is also now tied in second place on the WCC career coaching wins list with 171.

- Allie Turner's 105 made threes is the most made in a single season at Gonzaga last season. She broke the record against UTSA to pass Brynna Maxwell's record of 96 in a single season (2023-24). She is one of two players in Gonzaga history, men's or women's, to reach 100 threes in a single season with the only other Bulldog being Dan Dickau in 2001-02.

- Lisa Fortier and her three core assistant coaches (Stacy Clinesmith, Jordan Green and Craig Fortier) are 1 of 3 coaching staffs in the country to be together for 12+ years. The other two are Iowa State and UConn.

SERIES INFO: This will be the second matchup between the two programs.  
LAST MEETING: The Zags won the first contest against the Rockets in 2023, 91-70 in Spokane at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
ON THIS DAY: 2013: No. 25 Gonzaga University women's basketball team gritted out a season-opening 64-54 victory over the University of Idaho Friday night at the McCarthey Athletic Center in the opening round of the Preseason WNIT.
