SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga guard Brynna Maxwell was a junior at Utah when the UC Davis women’s basketball team came back from a 17-point deficit to defeat the Zags last season at the University Credit Union Center.
However, in a rematch between the teams in Spokane on Sunday, Maxwell was in a Zags uniform, and it may have been the difference.
The graduate transfer scored 19 points and went 5-for-7 from 3-point range as Gonzaga (9-2) defeated UC Davis 73-55 in the McCarthey Athletic Center.
“She’s a great player,” said UC Davis head coach Jennifer Morris. “If you make a mistake, she makes you pay for it, so if the game plan is to chase her on the ball screens and you go under one time, she’s making it. If you lose her in transition one time, she’s making it, so I think we just had a few lapses where we weren’t locked in quite as much on her as we needed to be.”
