MORAGA, Calif. — After not trailing since their last meeting with LMU (10-11, 3-4 WCC), the Saint Mary's Gaels (16-6, 7-0 WCC) found themselves locked in a tight battle with the Lions, but were able to play smart, effective basketball down the stretch to earn the win, 70-65. With 3:30 remaining in this one, the two teams were locked in a 55-all stalemate, but the Gaels valued every possession, and were able to regain the lead and maintain it through the final buzzer. Despite them being their two closest contests in WCC play this season, the Gaels completed the regular season sweep of the Lions.
