MORAGA, Calif. — Saint Mary's Women's Basketball continues a busy stretch with another make-up game scheduled this coming Monday along with the usual conference-play pattern of games on Thursday and Saturday. SMC will also celebrate Girls and Women in Sports Day on Thursday, honoring the women's athletics teams at Saint Mary's and celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX.
The Gaels will host Santa Clara on Thursday, visit Pacific in Stockton on Saturday, and then go to Santa Clara on Monday to play a rescheduled game that was slated to be their WCC opener back on December 30 before being postponed due to health and safety protocols.
Senior Taycee Wedin is just one three pointer away from sole possession of the program's career record for three pointers as she is currently tied with Jontelle Smith's record of 268 threes.

ABOUT SANTA CLARA
Last season the Broncos finished 14-11 overall and 9-8 in the West Coast Conference, earning the fourth seed in the conference tournament and advancing to the semifinals for the first time since 2016.
