Gonzaga’s streak of home wins is now over.

LMU won on Thursday night against No. The historic upset was won by the Lions at the McCarthey Athletic Centre in Spokane by 6 Gonzaga, 68-67. The win marked their first over Gonzaga since 1991, and snapped Gonzaga’s massive 75-game home win streak — which was the longest winning streak in the modern era.

After trailing for much of the first half, LMU surged to a 14 point lead in the second half. Gonzaga came back and held the Lions down to two points in final 2:30, but it was too late. LMU won the one-point victory thanks to Cam Shelton’s clutch bucket in the last seconds.

Shelton scored 27 points for LMU and grabbed nine rebounds. She also shot 11-of-23 from behind the arc. Keli Leaupepe added 11 points, while Jalin Anderson scored 15 points from the bench. They were the only ones to reach double figures.
