LAST TIME OUT
The Saint Mary's Women's Basketball team started the 2021-22 campaign with a 66-61 come-from-behind victory against the University of Nevada after a fourth quarter filled with big stops and big shots for the Gaels. A combo of former high school teammates at Carondelet High led the Gaels in scoring as Ali Bamberger finished with 18 points and Brianna Simonich had 15 points while going 6 for 6 from the free throw line in the win.

The other big, game-changing performance came from Taycee Wedin as she scored all of her 10 points in the fourth quarter, coming in clutch when the Gaels needed it most. The senior hit two threes in the final frame, including one in transition. She made pull-up jumper that gave the Gaels the lead for good with just over three minutes remaining, along with sinking some critical free throws to seal the game.
