OGDEN, Utah — The Gaels (2-0) could not have asked for a better start to their 2023 campaign, as they opened up play with a pair of wins at the Wildcat Invitational. Despite these matches serving as the first two of the season, the Gaels looked in midseason form, holding the upper hand for a majority of both of their contests against Manhattan and Utah Tech en route to the 2-0 start. With the wins, the Gaels move to 2-0 to start a season for just the second time in the last decade (2021).
Match 1: Saint Mary's 3, Manhattan 0 (25-14, 25-17, 25-19)
A STRONG START
Returning All-WCC middle blocker Kjersti Strong looked to be in midseason form in just match number one of the 2023 campaign for the Gaels.
