The Gaels (15-11, 10-5 WCC) committed a season-high 27 turnovers in the game, including 17 in the first half alone. Loyola Marymount (12-14, 7-8 WCC) scored 32 points off of Gaels turnovers and built as large as a 31-point lead early in the fourth quarter.
Sydney Raggio logged her fourth double-double of the season with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Megan McKay led SMC with 16 points on perfect 7 for 7 shooting from the floor.
