The next game against Utah Valley was more of the same, except with a wider margin of victory for the other team, with the Dons losing 4-8. Finally there was the Dons second series of the year against Hawaii where they managed to grab their first win with a score of 5-4, but they fell short in the other two games with scores 3-11 and 7-9.

The Dons (15-14, 8-10 WCC) took the court for their final regular season game this past Saturday. San Francisco squared off against WCC rival and leader St. Mary’s (24-4, 15-3 WCC) at War Memorial. It was a special night for three individuals as they were celebrating their senior nights. Forward Montray Clemons, guard Tim Derksen and guard Sean Grennan were honored before the game. By the end of the game the three seniors unfortunately weren’t able to get the send-off to the WCC tournament they would have wanted as they fell to the Gaels 72-84.
