MORAGA, Calif. – The Saint Mary's Women's Basketball Team couldn't get over the hump against the University of San Francisco Dons in a 70-56 loss to USF on Thursday night at UCU Pavilion.
The Gaels (9-8, 3-3) trimmed the double-digit lead of the Dons (10-10, 4-4) to six points multiple times in the third quarter and had it down to seven in the fourth, but each time the Gaels threatened USF responded quickly and decisively to keep SMC from getting any closer.
Saint Mary's trailed by just four after the first quarter, but found themselves down 35-21 at the half.
