Anteaters just miss at Loyola

LOS ANGELES -- UC Irvine’s women’s basketball team fell to 6-3 on

Saturday as a result of a 50-47 nonconference loss at Loyola

Marymount.

The Anteaters’ Wendy Gabbe had 16 points, including four

three-pointers, and Christina Callaway and Lisa Faulkner flirted with

double figures (9 and 8 points, respectively), but were unable to

offset the depth of Loyola Marymount, which had every player in the

scoring column.

Loyola’s Adrianne Slaughter had a career-high effort on the boards

with 17 rebounds, and Bianca Ziemann (six) and Mary Turner (five) had

career highs in assists.

Faulkner had eight assists and hit two of four three-point

attempts.

Gabbe was 4-for-8 from outside the arc.

Loyola posted a 25-19 halftime lead and held the Anteaters at bay

in the late going.

UCI will host Portland State Monday at 5:15 at the Bren Events

Center, prior to the men’s game with Florida Atlantic.
