The Pioneers rallied with a 9-0 run to cut the score to two points at 25-27. Kerri White (Flushing, NY/Archbishop Molloy) connected on a triple as the Setters maintained their advantage to take a 41-36 lead into the break.

C.W. Post chipped away early in the second half as they tied the game at 44 and would eventually pull ahead with a five points lead at 49-44 with 11:13 left in the game. Carol Johnson (New City, NY/Cardinal Spellman) kept the Setters in the game as she would convert a pair of lay-ups as Pace pulled even at 49.

The Pioneers jumped back into the lead as they would pull ahead by six points at 56-50 with 4:35 remaining in the game. The Setters rallied with a 7-0 burst as White converted a three-point play and Johnson drove to the basket for two points.Brianna Harris (Brentwood, NY/Mary Louis Academy) would get a steal on defense and went coast-to-coast for a lay-up as Pace retook the lead at 57-56 with 2:467 left in the game. C.W. Post answered with a lay-up but Johnson’s lay-up for the Setters put Pace back in the lead for good.

Following a Pioneer miss, Brittany Shields (Cold Spring, NY/Haldane) hit a pair of key free throws, while Allison Cleary (New Windsor, NY/Cornwall Central) hit a clutch baseline jumper with 21 seconds to hold off a late run by the Pioneers and give the Setters their second straight win.
