SPOKANE, Wash.— Gonzaga's Sunny Greinacher poured in 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting to lift the Bulldogs to an 83-44 victory over Cal State Fullerton Sunday afternoon at McCarthey Athletic Center.
Chante Miles scored 18 points on 8-of-17 shooting as the lone double-digit scorer for the Titans in loss, as no other Fullerton player recorded more than seven points.
It looked bad early for the Titans, as Gonzaga (9-2) sprung out to a quick 6-0 advantage less than two minutes into the contest, hitting on three of its first four field goal attempts.
However, Fullerton (2-7) responded immediately to actually take a 10-8 lead with 14:36 left to play in the first half after a 10-2 Titans run.
Fullerton's lead wouldn't last long, as the Zags regained control at 16-13 after a Palmer trey with 12:10 to play in the first half.
Although the Titans would keep it close for most of the first half, Gonzaga never trailed the rest of the way, and ended the half on a 6-0 run, to give the Zags a 40-29 lead at intermission.
Gonzaga came out firing on all cylinders to open up the second half, as they connected on six of their first seven field goal attempts to fuel a 15-4 run, and led the Titans 55-33 with 16:24 to play.
It only got worse for the Titans, as Fullerton managed to knock down just two field goals the rest of the way, en route to their lowest scoring half of the season, with just 15 points scored.
Fullerton has now dropped four games in a row and hasn't won a game away from Titan Gym in 13 straight games going back to last season.
The Titans will wrap up their three-game road trip with a game at Oregon State this Thursday at 7:00 p.m.
