WBB | Gaels Roar Back on Cougars Before BYU Pulls Away Late

MORAGA, Calif. – Saint Mary's Women's Basketball clashed with the BYU Cougars for the final time in the regular season as WCC foes, and though the Gaels had a big run in the third, BYU eventually pulled away for a 74-59 win.

It was a tight first quarter, with the score tied 12-12 on a Leia Hanafin three pointer with 2:33 to go in the first. BYU would close out the first 10 minutes on a 7-0 run, but the Gaels wouldn't allow the Cougars to extend the lead to double digits until the final three minutes of the half.
