DONS AT A GLANCE:

• San Francisco's three-game winning streak was snapped in a 74-66 overtime decision last Thursday to Gonzaga at War Memorial at the Sobrato Center. The Dons erased multiple double-digit deficits throughout the second half before the Bulldogs prevailed in the final five-minute period to secure the victory.
• In a well-balanced offensive effort, San Francisco had five players score in double figures for the first time this season, led by Candy Edokpaigbe with 13 points. Aina Cargol and Ugwah each totaled 11 points, while Mara Neira and McIntyre posted 10 points apiece.
• Recording a near double-double, Ugwah totaled season-highs in points (11) and rebounds (8) in just her third game following missing 13 games due to an injury. In her last three games, Ugwah is averaging 5.3 rebounds per game while totaling eight in her last two appearances.
• Edokpaigbe leads the team in scoring, averaging 16.9 points per game, third best in the West Coast Conference. She has scored in double figures in 18 games while surpassing 20+ points seven times.
• Cargol has continued to improve in WCC play, establishing herself as one of the top freshmen in the league. In 10 conference games, she is averaging 14.6 points per game and is connecting on 39.6 percent of her attempts from the three-point line. Cargol leads all true freshmen in the WCC in scoring and assists per game (5.2) during the conference slate.

• In Oregon State's 92-87 overtime victory over Gonzaga on January 22, Kennedie Shuler posted an impressive 17-point, 10-steal, nine-assist, five-rebound,
• three-block performance. Her stat line against the Bulldogs was one of four 10-steal, three-block outings in the nation since the 1999-00 season and one of four double-doubles with points and steals in the WCC in the last two decades.
• Following her performance, Shuler was named West Coast Conference Player of the Week and USBWA Player of the Week.
