MORAGA, Calif. – SMC Women's Basketball had another epic battle with USF go down to the wire, but this time the Dons held on for a 69-66 win over the Gaels to split the season series with Saint Mary's.
The difference in the game would be a fourth quarter where the Gaels rushed some shots and didn't convert layups, including on fast-break opportunities. SMC was only 6 of 20 from the floor and 0 for 6 on threes in the fourth compared to the Dons' 7 of 11 and 1 for 3 from downtown. That efficient fourth allowed USF to win the quarter 17-15.
