LOS ANGELES — Shaylee Gonzales scored 19 points with five rebounds, five assists and five steals and No. 18 BYU coasted to a 77-37 victory over Loyola Marymount for the Cougars' fifth straight win.

Lauren Gustin and Paisley Harding added 14 points apiece for the Cougars, who held a second straight conference rival to less than 40 points to win by at least 40.

Despite a 5 of 12 fourth quarter, BYU shot 57% (32 of 56), although the Cougars were only 4 of 17 from 3-point range. On the other end, the Cougars held LMU to 31% (15 of 49) with 31 turnovers, good for 36 points.

"I am very happy with what we are doing," BYU coach Jeff Judkins said. "We haven't shot the ball as well as we can but what is nice about this team is I can go a lot of different ways. I can go aggressive like we did at the start. Or we can go bigger and it makes it challenging for the other team any way we can go."

No player scored more than six points for LMU.

BYU plays on the road against Pepperdine on Thursday, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. PT at the Firestone Fieldhouse. The game will be broadcast on the WCC Network.
