As the last home match of the season, the Gaels celebrated seniors Jade Frampton, Jenny Jullien, and Audrey Leitz. Frampton won her set 6-3 and sealed the win for Saint Mary's. Jullien, the No. 12 player in the country, also won her set.
With the win, SMC improves to 12-7 overall and 6-2 in WCC play. The Gaels have not lost a match to a non-ranked team all season.
The WCC tournament begins today, April 23, in San Diego. Last year, the Gaels lost to Pepperdine in the WCC finals, but they still earned a berth to the NCAA tournament. This year, Saint Mary's earned the No. 3 seed in the WCC tournament behind No. 2 BYU (8-1) and No. 1 Pepperdine (9-0).
