BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) Yvonne Ejim scored 21 points and Brynna Maxwell scored 18 points and 23rd-ranked Gonzaga took control in overtime and beat California 78-70 on Thursday night at Haas Pavilion. 

The Bears held the Zags to just 25.6% shooting in the first half and took a six-point lead into the break. Marta Suarez and Ila Lane both paced Cal with nine points each in the half. 

Gonzaga went on a 14-4 run to take a two-point lead with under six minutes to go in the third quarter and went up by four points with 2:14 to go but Suarez would hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Cal just a one-point deficit going into the final quarter. 

A 3-pointer from Leilani McIntosh gave the Bears a two-point lead with 1:14 left in the game, but Kayleigh Truong's jump shot with 31 seconds left tied it at 65-all in regulation to force overtime.

Ejim finished shooting 9 for 19 and Maxwell was 6-for-17 overall but made 5 for 11 inside the arc. Kayleigh Truong scored 14 points and Kaylynne Truong distributed 12 assists against just three turnovers.

For the first time this season five Bears scored in double figures. Marta Suarez scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for her third double-double this season, McIntosh and reserve Lulu Laditan-Twidale each scored 13 points, reserve Ila Lane scored 11 and McKayla Williams 10. McIntosh distributed a career-high 11 assists to get her second career double-double. 

The Bulldogs never trailed in the extra session despite the fact Cal led for most of the game (21:16). Cal also finished with a higher shooting percentage, 42.9%, against a season-low 36.1% by Gonzaga.

The Bulldogs (9-3) were coming off a historic 96-78 win over No. 3 Stanford on Dec. 3 in Spokane, Washington. The win marked the highest ranked victory in program history.
