STOCKTON, Calif. – A cold-shooting night by the Gaels led to them trailing the Pacific Tigers the whole way in a 60-45 loss on Thursday night, despite trimming it to a four-point game in the third quarter.
Even with the slow start, SMC still only trailed by six points after a quarter of play. They were down just 10-7 when Addison Wedin suffered a leg injury while going up for a layup, and would not return. Wedin had scored in double figures in four of her last six games.
Saint Mary's shot just 24% from the field in the first half to Pacific's 52% and found themselves down 30-17 at the break.
