To Gonzaga Coach Kelly Graves, beating No. 16 Virginia shows his team is earning some respect from the rest of women's basketball.
Heather Bowman scored 18 points to lead the Bulldogs to a 69-62 upset victory over the Cavaliers yesterday in the WBCA Classic hosted by Marquette.
"I think it shows people we definitely have a good program," Graves said.
Kelly Bowen and Janelle Bekkering added 15 points each for the Bulldogs (7-1), who won two of three games in the tournament.
Monica Wright (Forest Park) led the Cavaliers (5-2) with a game-high 26 points, and Aisha Mohammed had 16.
"I thought we were a little flat," Virginia Coach Debbie Ryan said after the loss.
· CONNECTICUT 106, OKLAHOMA 78: Renee Montgomery had a career-high 30 points and matched the Huskies record with 13 assists to help top-ranked Connecticut (5-0) rout the No. 4 visiting Sooners (4-2).
· STANFORD 83, HAWAII 54: Jillian Harmon scored 18 points in the first half, and the No. 5 Cardinal (6-1) rolled over the Rainbow Wahine (0-6) to finish 3-0 at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Classic in Honolulu.
· TENNESSEE 88, DEPAUL 67: Glory Johnson tied a career high with 19 points and the No. 9 Lady Vols (5-1) rolled to a victory over the Blue Demons (5-2) in Knoxville, Tenn.
