Gonzaga's Courtney Vandersloot (21) is chased by UCLA's Markel Walker (23) and Christina Nzekwe (4) as she races upcourt during the first half of their second-round game of the NCAA women’s college basketball tournament Monday in Spokane. Vandersloot scored 29 points and dished out 17 assists en route to becoming the first woman and man in Division I history to score more than 2000 points and hand out 1000 assists, in leading the Lady Zags to an upset 89-75 victory over UCLA. The win sends the Lady Zags to the Sweet 16 round for the second straight year. Associated Press story here. And: ESPN boxscore here. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

For a second straight year, the Gonzaga Bulldogs are headed to the Sweet 16. Behind senior point guard Courtney Vandersloot, Gonzaga rallied past the eighth-ranked UCLA Bruins, pulling away to an 89-75 win in an NCAA women’s basketball tournament game Monday before a sold-out, raucous crowd at the McCarthey Athletic Center. Gonzaga (30-4) will take on the Xavier/Louisville winner across town at the Spokane Arena on Saturday. Xavier and Louisville play Tuesday/Spokesman-Review. More here.

DFO: If you didn't see tonight's game -- and have never seen Courtney Vandersloot handle the ball -- set aside time in the Sweet 16 round and do so. You can thank me later.
