St. Mary's Women's Basketball Off to Perfect Start

It may be too early to breathe the words, “perfect season,” but a 7-0 opening for St. Mary's women's basketball is certainly impressive. The Gaels are in fact off to their best start in the history of the institution. Of the teams they've faced so far and defeated, one of the most ...

Women’s Basketball Games of the Weekend 1/28 -1/29

Spotlighted this weekend are games involving schools whose conference seasons could be just about over if certain things work out.
