The roar of 6,289 fans—the most to ever attend a BYU women’s basketball game in the Marriott Center—shook the stands as the Cougars defeated Gonzaga 63–39 on Feb. 19, clinching a perfect home record for the second consecutive season just weeks before claiming the WCC regular-season championship. The team is now just four victories away from beating the program’s 41-year-old 33-win streak at home. “I’m proud,” says head coach Jeff Judkins. “They all had to sacrifice to make this team successful.”
