MORAGA, Calif. — When a team trails within one possession in the waning seconds, the best position is to be with the ball in your hands. That's what Saint Mary's Women's Basketball had on Thursday afternoon against Portland after nearly mounting an impressive comeback. The final shot rimmed out, and Saint Mary's fell just short in a 69-68 narrow defeat against the Pilots. With the win, the Pilots improve to 8-6 (5-3) while the winning streak is snapped for the Gaels (5-11, 3-7).
