MORAGA, Calif. — Saint Mary's withstood a late push by the Waves Saturday night in McKeon Pavilion to walk away with their fourth conference win in their past five games, 72-65.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Malik Fitts continued his torrid run against WCC defenses with a 25 point showing, including a sterling 5-of-7 night from beyond the arc. Fitts entered the game averaging 18.2 points in conference games and has now scored 10-plus in the past 12 contests. The redshirt sophomore also had a team-high seven rebounds.
Pepperdine made the game interesting late as Jade' Smith hit a jumper with 28 seconds to play to make it a two-possession game and just six-point deficit.
