WBB | Stout Defense Down the Stretch Helps Gaels to Hawaii Sweep, 68-61 Win over Louisiana Monroe
11/24/2024 4:55:00 PM | Women's Basketball
HONOLULU, Hawaii – Saint Mary's has simply gotten better and better sine week one developing more chemistry on both sides of the ball. They completed the two-game sweep in Hawaii today with a 68-61 victory over Louisiana Monroe, the first matchup with the Warhawks in program history. Louisiana Monroe was held scoreless from the field over the final four minutes of the game and the Gaels found their rhythm from beyond the arc, finishing the afternoon 11-23 from three good for a new season high.
Three starters finished with double figures including returners Emily Foy, Maia Jones and senior transfer Kennedy Johnson. Foy and Jones combined for nine made three pointers to lead all players and Jones was 7-12 from the field good for a game high 19 points.
Saint Mary's continues to find their stride offensively as they finished 46% from the field and 47% from three. Head coach Jeff Cammon and his squad have shot over 40% from the field in all six games this season. The Gaels held a four-point lead after the first quarter, shooting 47% and knocking down three triples.
Louisiana Monroe converted back-to-back buckets to end the first half and make it a one-point game. The Warhawks matched the Gaels with 17 points in the third quarter to keep it a one-point game heading to the fourth, but once again the Gaels defense closed nicely holding Monroe to just nine points in the fourth.
Saint Mary's outscored them 15-9 and kept the Warhawks off the scoreboard for the final four minutes of the game. After coming off the bench to start the season, Maia Jones started in both games this weekend and finished today's game with a team high 19 points and a season high five three pointers. Johnson and Foy combined for 27 points and Ella Wedin led the bench scoring with six points and a pair of three pointers.
LOOKING AHEAD
Saint Mary's improves to 4-2 overall and will depart from Hawaii with a pair of wins over Eastern Washington and Louisiana Monroe. The Gaels will return to UCU Pavilion on Saturday, November 30th to take on UC Riverside. Live stats and ticket links can be found at smcgaels.com and you can stream the game live on ESPN+.
