Saint Mary's took to the floor at McKeon Pavilion looking for revenge, but the women could not get the job done against Pacific. Following an 80-91 loss to Pacific on Jan. 25, the Gaels hoped to earn a win in the second match-up of the season. On Feb. 8, the Gaels fell to the Tigers 71-88 for their first home loss of the season.

After big wins against BYU and USD, the Gaels looked to continue the win streak. Instead, they drop to 8-4 in WCC, good enough for third place in the standings, and 18-5 overall.

Senior guard Kate Gaze earned a school record for playing in her 125th career game. She had ten points. Danielle Mauldin led the Gaels with 24 points and nine rebounds.

With six games remaining in the season, SMC faces easier WCC opponents. The only tough match up will be Gonzaga. The Gaels return to action on Feb. 13 at LMU.
