MORAGA, Calif. — A strong defensive second half helped the Gaels get past a pesky Pacific team Thursday night as Saint Mary's moved in sole possession of third place in the West Coast Conference.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Jordan Ford, the WCC's leading scorer, had another dazzling game as he went off for a game-high 28 points and made 10 of his 13 free throws. The junior entered Thursday's contest as the third best 3-point shooter in the conference and proved his ability by going 4-of-6 from beyond the arc.
As a team, the Gaels were 10-for-17 from distance, 59-percent, which marked their best perimeter shooting performance of the season.
