MORAGA, Calif. — Coming off of a momentous performance against Davidson on Friday, the Saint Mary's Gaels (3-4) welcomed the Utah Utes (4-2) to town for a sold out affair inside UCU Pavilion. The Gaels and Utes locked in a tight battle for the majority of the contest, with neither team truly able to pull away from the other. Utah took their largest lead at 67-52 with under five to go, but the Gaels came storming back, cutting the deficit to four. Unfortunately, that was as close as they would get, as the Utes would fein off the late Gaels effort, winning 78-71.
