Lady Toppers fall to Gaels in overtime, conclude play in Saint Mary's Thanksgiving Classic

The WKU women's basketball team (5-2) stumbled against Saint Mary’s (3-4) in an 80-73 overtime loss on Saturday, as the Gaels snapped the Lady Toppers’ five-game winning streak in their second game in as many days in the Saint Mary's Thanksgiving Classic.

WKU took on the Gaels for the first time in program history in the McKeon Pavilion in Moraga, California, playing the second of back-to-back games and also the second of back-to-back games against first-time opponents on the west coast.

The Lady Toppers were able to turn the Gaels over 20 times and turned those opportunities into 21 points on the other end.
