Saint Mary’s volleyball opened up their conference season on the road last week, ultimately falling to two Pacific Northwest opponents in Gonzaga and then Portland. Saint Mary’s fell to Gonzaga 3-2 (26-24, 16-25, 23-25, 25-20, 15-13) on Thursday and Portland 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-21) on Saturday.
At the Martin Centre Thursday night, Saint Mary’s and Gonzaga squared-off for the second straight conference-season opener. Through the first half of the first set, neither team built more than a two-point lead.
