MORAGA, Calif. — The Saint Mary's Gaels are riding some momentum heading into conference play. SMC put together their best week statistically under the direction of first year head coach Tyler Hildebrand last week, winning seven of the 13 sets that they played in the SLO Classic, dropping a pair of five set thrillers to Cal Poly and 20th ranked Utah, sandwiching a sweep of Cal Baptist, their first sweep victory of 2025. After a grueling non-conference slate, the Gaels look primed to keep momentum rolling, flush some of the negatives that plagued them early on, and quest for their first WCC title since 2009.
