 Hi, I'm Elizabeth Addis reporting for CalTV Sports. I'm here at Hoss Pavilion where your Cal women's basketball team just defeated the St. Mary's Gales in their first official game of the season. Let's check it out. St. Mary's won the tip-off and made the first shot of the game, but the Bears quickly turned it around. Five minutes into the first quarter, number one, Asha Thomas scored a three-pointer. Senior, Makayla Cowling, then stole the ball and scored, putting the Bears ahead 18-16. Number 12, Penuma Davidson scored with 30 seconds left, and the Bears were up by four going into the second quarter. The Gales started off the second quarter with good offense, but the Bears put an amazing teamwork on the court, and number 12, Davidson put in a few great shots. The Bears finished the first half strong, going into the locker room leading 47-36. Cal continued to roll, extending their lead by seven points, with great three pointers from Asha Thomas and Makayla Cowling. St. Mary's played good offense, and the game was tied at the end of the third quarter, 66-66. At the beginning of the last quarter, number 31, Christine Enegue, was fouled and made both free throws, putting Cal back in the lead. The Bears finished the game with strong offense, and secured their win 87-80. I'm Elizabeth Addis, signing off from Haas Pavilion, Go Bears!
