Saint Mary’s eight-game win streak came to an end this past Saturday in front of an excited crowd at Pepperdine’s Firestone Fieldhouse. After picking up an impressive 73-48 road win over LMU on Thursday, the Gaels faltered against a physical Pepperdine squad, losing to the Waves 67-64. With their first conference loss and only their second loss overall, Saint Mary’s falls to 14-2 on the year and 5-1 in WCC play.
The Gaels commenced a two-game Southern California road trip with another commanding showing this season, this time over LMU.
