MORAGA, Calif. — No. 11 Saint Mary's wrapped up their preseason schedule with a dominating 2-0 win over Div. II Notre Dame de Namur on Saturday.

It didn't take long for the Gaels to take the lead as Lucas Andrews broke the scoreless tie in the 15th minute with a rocket to the left of the Argonaut keeper off a pass from freshman Valentin Kurz. Andrews led the Gaels with five shots in 62 minutes of play.

Filippo Zattarin scored the other goal for SMC in the 74th minute off a penalty kick. The foul for Notre Dame was one of 23 fouls the team committed in the match compared to just six by the Gaels.
