SPOKANE, Wash. -- — Yvonne Ejim scored 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting, Brynna Maxwell added 14 points and No. 20 Gonzaga beat New Mexico 67-56 on Friday.
Gonzaga (13-2) extended its home winning streak to 26, which ranks third in the country behind UNLV (27) and South Carolina (46).
The Zags, No. 13 in the country in 3-point percentage at 39.4, made 9 of 17 from behind the arc — with four apiece from Maxwell and Kaylynne Truong.
Truong finished with 12 points and seven assists for Gonzaga, which was coming off its fourth matchup against a Pac-12 team this season. The Zags were without her twin sister Kayleigh Truong, who suffered a hand injury in the win over Arizona on Wednesday.
Viane Cumber scored 17 points for New Mexico (9-4). Paula Reus added 11 points.
New Mexico won the only other meeting between the programs, notching a 76-54 victory in Albuquerque in 2005.
Gonzaga played its last nonconference game of the year, and travels to play Portland on Jan. 4 in a West Coast Conference opener for both teams.
