Cowgirls Travel to Gonzaga for Sunday Matinee

Cowgirls in Spokane

The Cowgirls are set to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs this Sunday in Spokane, Washington. The game is scheduled to tip off at 2:00 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on ESPN2.

The Cowgirls are coming off a 78-66 win over the Portland Pilots on Friday night. Senior guard Laurie Koehn led the way for the Cowgirls with 22 points, while sophomore forward Chantel Osahor added 18 points and 11 rebounds.

The Bulldogs are coming off of two straight losses, including a 76-64 loss to the BYU Cougars on Thursday night. Junior guard Jill Townsend leads the Bulldogs in scoring with 16.3 points per game.

Key Matchup

The key matchup in this game will be between Koehn and Townsend. Koehn is one of the best shooters in the country, while Townsend is one of the best defenders in the country.

If Koehn can get hot from three-point range, the Cowgirls will be tough to beat. However, the Bulldogs will be doing everything they can to slow Koehn down.

Cowgirls Outlook

The Cowgirls are 13-4 on the season and ranked No. 11 in the AP Poll. They are one of the favorites to win the NCAA Tournament this year.

The Cowgirls will be looking to make a statement against the Bulldogs on Sunday. A win would be a big boost to their confidence and would help them move up in the polls.

Bulldogs Outlook

The Bulldogs are 10-6 on the season and ranked No. 25 in the AP Poll. They are looking to bounce back from their two straight losses.

The Bulldogs will be counting on Townsend to lead the way against the Cowgirls. She is one of the most experienced players on the team and is capable of taking over a game.

Prediction

The Cowgirls are the favorites to win this game, but the Bulldogs are a tough team at home. I predict that the Cowgirls will win a close game, 72-68.
