SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mitchell Saxen had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Aidan Mahaney added 13 points for the No. 17 Saint Mary’s Gaels, who didn’t score in the last 7:05 but held off hobbled but determined San Diego 62-59 for their 14th win in 15 games. The Gaels improved to 23-5 overall and 12-1 in the West Coast Conference and continue to lead Gonzaga atop the WCC with three games to play. They led the Toreros 54-31 on a 3-pointer by Mahaney with 14:17 left but let the Toreros slowly get back into the game.
