Box Score ST. LOUIS, Mo.—The Christian Brothers University Lady Bucs scored a season-low 37 points Saturday in a 55-37 loss at Missouri-St. Louis Saturday afternoon.

Both teams struggled from the floor throughout the game, shooting well under 40 percent.  While UMSL (3-1) never trailed, their lead never grew beyond seven points in the first half.  A Candis Clear (Memphis, Tenn./East HS) jumper at the beginning of the second half pulled the Lady Bucs (1-4) within a 23-19 margin, but UMSL went on a 12-0 run to pull away quickly.
