          SPOKANE, Wash. -- Alex Carbonel scored 18 points and Saint Mary's made four free throws in the last 25 seconds to beat Gonzaga (No. 22 ESPN/USA Today, No. 23 AP) 66-63 Saturday, ending the Bulldogs' West Coast Conference winning streak at 34 games.

          Down eight with 1:27 to play, Gonzaga reeled off seven quick points before the Gaels' Danielle Mauldin made two free throws with 23 seconds left. After Katelan Redmon's basket made it 64-63 with 8.7 seconds to go, Jasmine Smith made two free throws with 8.3 remaining.

          Kayla Standish missed a 3-pointer from the top of the key at the buzzer and Gonzaga's 10-game winning streak came to an end.

          Mauldin, Smith and reserve Mogan Hatten each had 11 for Saint Mary's (14-5, 5-1 WCC), which had lost 17 straight to the Bulldogs.

          Standish led Gonzaga (15-3, 4-1) with 18 points. Redmon added 13, Haiden Palmer had 12 and Taelor Karr 10 for the Bulldogs, who hadn't lost a WCC game at home since late in the 2008-09 season to Portland.

          Saint Mary's, which trailed 33-24 at the half, shot 60.9 percent in the second half while Gonzaga shot just 29.7, finishing at 34.3 for the game.
