On Thursday, February 11, Saint Mary's women's basketball star Louella Tomlinson broke two NCAA Division I records. In the match-up against Gonzaga, Tomlinson recorded five blocks and in doing so, she notched 166 blocks in the season and 483 blocks in her career, leading the NCAA. Despite the defensive effort, Saint Mary's was not able to hold off the Bulldogs and fell 88-75.
"I would take a win over the blocked shots. I think we could get that team," Tomlinson said.
On Saturday the Gaels took to the court again, hosting the Portland Pilots. Saint Mary's came out on fire and built a 19 point lead with six minutes left in the first half. The Pilots refused to quit and finished the half with a 19-6 run, reducing the Gael's lead to six points, 36-30.
The teams played even in the second half and Saint Mary's managed to squeak out a 67-64 win.
