Gonzaga Blasts Paul VI To Hoist WCAC Trophy Once Again
What Chris Lykes might not have in stature, he makes up for it with confidence and skill. The 5-foot-8 point guard has never been afraid of the big stage and he proved it once again late Monday night.

With about two minutes to play in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title game, the league's now two-time player of the year pulled up for a deep 3-pointer to blow the roof off of American University's Bender Arena and put an exclamation point on a 20-point performance.

Moments later, he was joined by what seemed to be half of the sold out crowd on the court to celebrate.

No. 23 Gonzaga (DC) 68, No. 22 Paul VI (VA) 55.

For the second time in three seasons, the Eagles hoist the WCAC trophy. And for one final time, in the league he battled in, Lykes put on a show to make it happen.
