RENO, Nev. - The Saint Mary's Women's Basketball team started the 2021-22 campaign with a 66-61 come-from-behind victory against the University of Nevada after a fourth quarter filled with big stops and big shots for the Gaels.
A combo of former high school teammates at Carondelet High led the Gaels in scoring as Ali Bamberger finished with 18 points and Brianna Simonich had 15 points while going 6 for 6 from the free throw line in the win. Simonich did a little bit of everything in guarding the other team's best player and grabbing rebounds and Bamberger definitely changed the game with her play in the post.
