Women's Basketball: The Saint Mary's women's basketball team fell 88-77 in an exhibition game against Love and Basketball on Friday.
Junior Maija Lahde kicked off the game right for the Gaels by hitting a 3-pointer for the team's first bucket of the night. However, Love and Basketball dominated the first half, forcing multiple turnovers, and leaving the Gaels trailing 41-23 at the half.
The Gaels started the second half on a 13-5 run, eventually cut the lead down to six but never came any closer. It was a run and gun game for the Gaels under new head coach Paul Thomas.
The Gaels cut the deficit in the second half, but never took the lead. Sophomore Jontelle Smith led the Gaels with 14 points. Senior Sheridan Arredondo racked up 13 points and three rebounds on the night. Lahde added 11 points and junior Monica Mertle had 10 points in the Gaels' loss.
