SPOKANE, Wash. -- Jessie Loera scored 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting and No. 12 Gonzaga won its 19th straight with a 57-46 win over San Diego on Thursday night.
Reserve Melody Kempton added 13 points and Jill Townsend 10 with 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs (21-1, 10-0 West Coast Conference), who extended their best-ever start.
Jordyn Edwards led the Toreros (12-9, 6-4) with 13 points and Myah Pace added 11.
Trailing 11-10 after one quarter, Gonzaga put together a 13-2 run in the second, making 7 of 9 free throws and holding San Diego to 1-of-9 shooting. The Bulldogs led 28-18 at the half.
Loera and Kayleigh Truong had 3-pointers on consecutive possessions and then Kempton's layup made it 47-29 late in the third quarter before San Diego made a fourth-quarter charge to get within nine.
