SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) Mikey Lewis helped lead Saint Mary's Gaels over Gonzaga Bulldogs on Saturday night with 18 points off of the bench in a 74-67 victory.

Lewis shot 5 of 9 from the field, including 5 for 7 from 3-point range, and went 3 for 3 from the line for the Gaels (25-4, 15-1 West Coast Conference). Mitchell Saxen added 16 points while finishing 7 of 13 from the floor while he also had nine rebounds. Luke Barrett shot 6 for 10, including 2 for 3 from beyond the arc to finish with 14 points.

The Bulldogs (21-8, 12-4) were led in scoring by Graham Ike, who finished with 19 points. Nolan Hickman added 14 points and two blocks for Gonzaga. Ryan Nembhard had 11 points and eight assists. The Bulldogs broke a five-game winning streak.
