London, ON – The St. Clair College Women's Basketball team (2-1) suffered their first loss of the regular season to Fanshawe College in London Wednesday night by a score of 84-65.  Fanshawe (3-0) came into the game the top ranked OCAA team and the 5th ranked team in the country while the Lady Saints were at #2 in Ontario and #8 nationally.  

St. Clair struggled out the gate with Fanshawe taking a 23-11 lead into the second quarter which grew to 46-27 by halftime.  However, the Saints put on a show in the third quarter shooting 58% from the field and tied the game at 54-54 late in the frame.  But, Fanshawe regained a slim 57-54 before the start of the fourth quarter and never looked back.  Fanshawe outshot St. Clair from deep making 13 triples at a 46% clip and nearly 40% from the floor in the game.  The Saints made 8 from beyond the arc but only at 26% and shot 33% overall which proved to be the large factor in the game.  St. Clair was also outscored 17-4 in production off the bench.
