It's the Zags!

The UC Davis women's basketball team will travel to Spokane, Wash. on Thursday to face Gonzaga for the first round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament, it was announced Monday night. The game will tip off at 7 p.m.

The Bulldogs and Aggies played one another at The Pavilion back on Dec. 6. Gonzaga won 71-58 behind 23 points and 12 rebounds from sophomore forward Heather Bowman. UCD's Jessica Campbell scored 13 and Haylee Donaghe 10 in that contest, which was tight early in the second half before the Zags went on a 20-2 run.

Bowman went on to win West Coast Conference Player of the Year, leading the Zags to their fourth straight WCC regular season title. Gonzaga was beaten by University of San Diego 70-66 in the conference title game.

With a win, the Aggies (19-10) would play at Colorado on Monday in the second round.
