MORAGA, Calif. — At first glance, one might say the Saint Mary’s women’s basketball team stumbled out of the gate in 2016-17, dropping four of their first six. But flip that perspective, and they’ve won four of their last six – with all four wins coming on the road.
Home is where teams are typically most comfortable. Meanwhile, they strive to at least break even on their opponents’ floors, where unfamiliar environments and unforgiving crowds can be difference-makers. Saint Mary’s (4-4) has made a habit of winning on the road already this season with a 4-1 away mark, including an active four-game road winning streak.
