Hollingsworth hit a 3-pointer to start a game-opening 10-point run that was capped by Kayleigh Truong's 3 and that 10-point edge held up through the quarter, which ended at 21-11. A 7-0 run in the second quarter helped Gonzaga push the lead to 35-19 at the half.

San Francisco was 1 of 18 behind the arc and shot 27% overall (8 of 30).
