Last Game
Yale (5-2, 0-0 Ivy League) beat Loyola Marymount 81-65 Saturday in the final game of LMU's Thanksgiving Classic. The Bulldogs scored the first six points of the game and never trailed, building a lead as large as 20 in the fourth quarter. Junior guard
Ellen Margaret Andrews (Dallas, Texas) led Yale with 22 points, adding three steals. The Bulldogs shot .840 (21 for 25) from the free throw line, their second-best performance of the season.
The format of the Classic was such that all matchups were pre-determined and there was no "champion". Still, the Bulldogs wound up as the only team to win both games at the tournament. Fresno State beat Georgetown (who beat LMU Friday) in the earlier game Saturday.

Emsbo followed that up with 15 points and five rebounds in Saturday's 81-65 win vs. LMU. She also had 13 points and six rebounds in Yale's game at No. 11 UCLA Tuesday.
