WBB | SMC Puts a Scare Into No. 20 BYU

MORAGA, Calif. - The Saint Mary's Women's Basketball Team gave the No. 20 BYU Cougars all they could handle on Saturday afternoon at UCU Pavilion, keeping the Cougars from gaining any separation until the final three minutes of the game. BYU (21-2, 11-1) would eventually secure an 84-69 victory over the Gaels who are now 12-12 overall and 6-7 in WCC play.

NO FEAR OF GOLIATH
Saint Mary's led 23-16 at the end of the first quarter and 42-40 at the half. They trailed by just three going into the fourth quarter, and it wasn't until the final few minutes that BYU gained a double-digit lead taking advantage of 10 Gaels turnovers in the fourth quarter.
