MORAGA, Calif. — The Gaels (2-0) were in command from the start of this one, defeating the New Mexico Lobos (1-1) in a defensive juggernaut of a contest, 72-58. While the Saint Mary's offense looked stellar for long stretches of the game, defense was the name of the game once again for the Gaels, who held a strong offensive Lobos squad to just 37.1% shooting from the field and 33.3% shooting from beyond the arc. The Gaels also forced 13 turnovers, resulting in 15 points off of those miscues. Joshua Jefferson and Augustas Marciulionis combined for seven steals in the contest, while Mitchell Saxen swatted away three shots.
