From staff reports

A year after winning the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Award, Gonzaga standout Yvonne Ejim was named to the 25-player watch list for the 2024-25 season.

The award is sponsored by Her Hoops Stats.

Ejim averaged 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and shot 60.1% from the floor in 2023-24. GU’s lone returning starter from a season ago, Ejim showed up big in the biggest games, combining for 54 points, 19 rebounds and five blocks in games against Arizona and Stanford.

Gonzaga hosts its annual Numerica FanFest on Saturday at 3 p.m. at McCarthey Athletic Center. GU opens the season at home on Nov. 5 against Montana – four days after an exhibition at home against NAIA College of Idaho.

The Zags are coming off a big season when they finished 32-4, including a 16-0 West Coast Conference record.
